Beyond what Mercury can do for your work and to make your life easier in the studio, Mercury actually offers the best INVESTMENT VALUE for a plug-in bundle. What I mean by that is that while Waves offers other bundles and even single plug-ins for sale, if you're out to ultimately get all of the plug-ins, but approach it very piece-meal, then the money you'll end up spending to WUP your individual licenses can totally negate any perceived savings... But even still, Mercury is a discounted bundle; meaning you save quite a bit more by purchasing all of the plug-ins at once, versus a little at a time. And if you're into other bundles at the moment, Front End Audio can help you upgrade into Mercury via Client Specific Upgrades - allowing you to ONLY pay for what plug-ins you don't already have licenses for.
With waves going the subscription route any suggestion for a non-subscription based plug ins?
Currently have the Mercury bundle looking to seeing if there's a bundle equivalent from other comapnies
I received a 250$ discount code to upgrade from Horizon bundle to Mercury. My upgrade price for a long time is around 400$, and that would bring the upgrade price to 150$. I never got a quote that low over the years.
2. Go to - Mac HD > Applications > Waves > Waveshells v11/ Plugins v11 , and remove those folders (if exist).
3. Delete any v11 WaveShell files, which can be found in the following locations (if exists, the waveshell files will end with 11.xx):
Thanks to the Waves team for coming back to us very quickly with the reason why some plug-in cannot be included in the Mercury Bundle. It would appear as if some of the new plug-ins, especially where 3rd parties are involved, that the licensing terms and conditions prevent Waves from including them in bundles.

The therapy apparatus described for treating concretions and tissue in the body of a patient by means of sound waves comprises a sound wave generator and an available X-ray device for locating an object for therapy, wherein the therapy apparatus has a spot film device. The spot film device is arranged within the axial passage of an X-ray cone for the available X-ray device attached to the sound wave generator and with its central longitudinal axis aligned with the focus thereof to be able to precisely adjust and fix a known X-ray device available to the therapy apparatus relative to the therapy apparatus quickly and safely.
The invention relates to an extracorporeal therapy apparatus for treating concretions and tissue by means of sound waves in the body of a patient, having a generator device for producing the sound waves, having a spot film device and using an available X-ray device for locating an object for therapy.
Although this spot film device makes for easier adjustment of the X-ray device onto the focus of the shock wave generator and hence onto a concretion in the body of a patient, carrying out adjustment and hence location using this spot film device is nevertheless still awkward and unsafe. After coarse adjustment of the available X-ray device onto the spot film device, initially the bundle of rays from the X-ray device must be aligned with the first spot film line of the spot film device. Then a hypothetical focal point on the shock wave generator must be fixed on a first line corresponding to the first spot film line on the screen of a monitor and then the object for therapy in the patient also visible on the screen must be adjusted onto the hypothetical focus. Several X-ray images are taken to obtain this result. The third spatial coordinate of the therapy point in the patient with respect to the hypothetical focus can be seen by pivoting the X-ray device into the second spot film line of the spot film device. By conventional adjustment of the operating table, on which the patient is situated, the object for therapy in the patient is then adjusted into the final hypothetical focal point; this means that the true focus of the shock wave generator is then in fact aligned with the object for therapy. Several X-ray images are also taken for this result. Overall the X-ray load is thus relatively high. Furthermore, the spot film device is unprotected and may itself be easily displaced, for example by bumping.
The present invention meets this object with an extracorporeal therapy apparatus for treating concretions and tissue by means of sound waves in the body of a patient, having a short wave generator device for producing the sound waves, having a spot film device and using an available X-ray device for locating an object for therapy, characterised in that the spot film device is assigned to the passage of an X-ray cone, attached to the short wave generator device and having its central longitudinal axis aligned with the focus thereof, for the available X-ray device which can be releasably fixed to the short wave generator device.
Preferably, the spot film markers consist of channels representing geometrical figures formed in the discs and of an X-ray positive liquid which can be pumped through the channels. The X-ray positive liquid is suitably an X-ray contrast agent, mercury or a mixture of alcohol and an X-ray contrast agent.
FIG. 1 shows an extracorporeal therapy apparatus generally designated 1 for producing sound waves for the purpose of treating a patient's object for therapy, for example concretions or tissue. Treatment using sound waves usually takes place by means of ultrasound shock waves for concretions, and for tissue, for example tumors, by means of transient high-energy ultrasound pulses for mechanical shredding of tissue or by means of high-energy ultrasound operated continuously or in bursts for thermal destruction of tissue.
The therapy apparatus 1 comprises a known sound wave short wave generator 2 of dome construction, for example for ultrasound shock waves. An X-ray cone 4 is connected rigidly to the short wave generator in the center of the generator 2 along its central axis indicated by the dot-and-dash line 3. This X-ray cone 4 is preferably designed to be longitudinally adjustable, as indicated for example in German Offenlegungsschrift 4,007,669, so that more detailed explanation of its construction is superfluous. The lower region of the X-ray cone 4 is sealed in air-tight manner by means of a closure device 5 comprising a bayonet mounting part 6 attached to the short wave generator 2 and a closure plate part 7 arranged to be removable therefrom. The plate part 7 is permeable to X-rays. The longitudinal axis 4a of the X-ray cone 4 coincides with the central axis 3 of the short wave generator 2.
An available X-ray device 9 of C-arm construction, which can be seen more clearly in FIGS. 6 and 8, is positioned and fixed below the shock wave generator 2 if X-ray location of a concretion in a patient is to be carried out. For a better overview, the shock wave generator 2 is only shown partially in FIG. 1, that is there is not shown any flexible, upper space limit or a liquid medium to transfer the sound waves destroying the concretion. However, these features regarding construction and function are known to the expert. Of the X-ray device 9, also shown only partly in FIG. 1, only one mounting 10 and an X-ray emitter 11 mounted therein is shown in this figure.
The X-ray positive liquid is pumped into the channels forming the spot film markers 15, 16 when the X-ray emitter 11 of the X-ray device 9 is to be aligned with the X-ray cone 4 and X-ray location of the object for therapy is to be carried out. The spot film line 8a is preset by the spot film device 8 so that the X-ray emitter 11 may be adjusted quickly and simply for this, that is the center of the ray bundle from the X-ray emitter is brought into alignment with the spot film line 8a or the central longitudinal line 4a of the X-ray cone 4 and hence is aligned with the focus of the shock wave generator.
