Waves plug-ins metering broken?

Is it just me or has anyone else got the same?
My renaissance plug-in's level metering isn't working. The overload indicator and gain reduction meter seem to be ok but the input and output meters on the R compressor for example seem to be not working? . . . Not really that helpful.
Has anyone else got this behaviour?

***Update****
Good old Waves support sent me an email back v. quickly and said the recent Apple Security Update has broken the meters on the Reniassance collection. They are working on a fix as we speak.

Waves Plug ins and Final Cut

I run Pro Tools on a Macbook Pro which also hosts Final Cut Studio. I am having a problem whereby on booting the program it crashes if the iLok isn't inserted but if the iLok is there, it takes forever to load - I mean forever - I am still waiting for it after about 10 minutes and am unsure whether it is going ot do it at all. It is just the Native Power Pack but there are a lot of impulse responses for the reverb it seems to be loading - the point is, I don't want to use Waves with Final Cut - I just want to import and edit some video quickly but this is causing me a bit of a headache - I am sure there is a simple solution.
Thanks in anticipation all you wonderful boffins
Matt

The solution is simple but but you might not like it ...
FCP is Audio Unit aware, and your Waves plug-ins are Audio Units and so are being loaded by FCP.
The only way to stop this from happening is to move the offending plug-ins out of the /Library/Audio/Plug-ins directory before you launch FCP ... of course, this then means you need to move them back in again before you use Pro Tools ... not too great :/
Manually, you could simplify this by creating shortcuts (aliases) to the folders on the desktop, so it would be easy to drag and drop between the two.
Or, if you're that way inclined, you could create an Automator action or AppleScript to do it for you.
Perhaps easiest would be to create two separate user accounts, one you use for Pro Tools and one for FCP. Install the Waves plugins in the Pro Tools user's ~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins folder, rather than the global one. Then just use Fast User Switching to switch environments.
Hope it helps
Andy
EDIT: Oh heck look --> http://www.audiofile-engineering.com/audiounitmanager/ this may be by far the better solution for simply switching plugin sets, you just need to create a separate set for FCP and Pro Tools, or just switch between None and All. Gotta be worth checking out as its free! Everybody loves free

WAVES plug ins not in mixdown- please, please help me!!!!

Hi. Im an experienced adobe user (been using it since it was cool edit). Im now using the latest Adobe for Mac on my MacBook. Heres the deal:
When I go to export a mixdown, any plug in that didn't come with Adobe (such as WAVES) DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE MIXDOWN. They work just fine in the actual multitrack session, but then just disappear in the mixdown. Ive tried every way possible to mix the file down- time selection, entire selection, Export, Mix to new track- you name it- but the waves just aren't on the mixdown. This is driving me absolutely bananas- has anyone else had this issue? Can someone please help me? Im so desperate for an answer on this that Ill give you some free voice work if you can tell me how to solve this issue! Or send you flowers- something! H E L P M E!!!!!!

I'm not a WAVES user but I've noticed some Cubase users (on their forum) have experienced problems with WAVES plug-ins. It might be related. Have you contacted Waves directly? They should be aware of any problems and would be best able to help find a solution.
Good luck.

Waves Plug-Ins and Audition 3.0

Has anyone else has problems getting Waves Plug-Ins to work with Version 3 of Audition?
Admittedly, I am using the demo to make sure everything work before I upgrade to version 3 [but that has never been a problem for me in the past].
I can only get half of my Waves Plug-Ins to work, and the other half says they are incompatible.
Does anyone have any ideas, because it is next to impossible to get help from Waves.
Thanks
Stan

I think all you can do is move them out of whatever folder there are in.

Waves plug-ins

Sorry, this is a question. I'm new to this forum....
When I open FCE all of my waves plug ins get loaded. This takes around 5 minutes and I also get netshell error messages with two of the plug ins.
Somebody else posted the same problem and was advised to move the plug-ins to another folder. I imagine that, like me. he needs the plug-ins for Pro Tools so this is not an option.
Can anyone please advise another solution?
By the way if I try to apply effects in soundtrack, I also get netshell errors and am unable to load soundtrack effects. I guess the problems are related.

I'm new to your Form but have the same issues with Waves plugins loading into FCE when I start it up. I emailed Waves and they rersonded with the solution to our problem. Waves doesn't support Final Cut Pro or Express.
This is what they said to do.
Go to:HD>Library>Audio>Plug-ins>Components> remove any Waveshell files that you may find there. This will allow FCP or FCE to launch withoput Waves Plug-ins.
If you use Waves in Logic, Peak or Spark you will need to place the Waveshells back in the 'Components' folder before launching the application.
I use Motu Digital Performer 4.5 and it works without repacing the Waveshells back in the folder. This is a fix for your problem. Good luck. Bob

Final cut pro conflicting with waves plug ins

Hi, I'm a pro tools user and I have wave plug ins. These plug ins are automatically loading up in final cut when I first enter final cut.
What is happening is I click on final cut to boot it, it starts loading my plug ins, then it says that it cant find a couple of plug ins. Then it automatically quits, giving me no access to final cut.
So basically I cant get into final cut at all. I erased my plug in preferences and my final cut preferences, that did nothing. I booted with extensions off in safe boot mode, that still did nothing.
IS THEIR ANY BUTTON I CAN HOLD DOWN TO BYPASS LOADING THOSE PLUG INS WHEN I BOOT UP FINAL CUT SO IT DOESN'T CRASH MY PROGRAM SO I CAN GET INTO FINAL CUT AND TURN OFF THOSE PLUG INS?
Thanks.

If you have more than one waveshell, which may be the reason for your problem (like one that calls for plugs you don't have), the quickest solution is to drag all of them out of the folder (applications/waves/waveshells) temporarily. Then make sure FCP launches correctly (it should). Then put only the lowest numbered waveshell back in, and try again. This way you'll find which is the culprit, and can permanently remove it. I had this problem and used this solution successfully.
If you have only one waveshell, start by removing it to see if that solves the launch issue, which it should, then look at your plugins themselves (applications/waves/plugins) to see which might be the culprit. If there are any demo versions or ones you otherwise don't own licences for, remove them first and try relaunching FCP. You should eventually find the culprits and be ok.
Also, make sure your Waves plugins/waveshell are updated to the proper versions for your OS and Pro Tools versions. See the waves site for details on that.

Soundtrack Pro crashes when I open Waves Plug-ins

I'm using Soundtrack Pro 3 to master audio i've created in Logic Studio. Waves plug-ins (principally, the Q-series eg plug-ins) cause Soundtrack Pro to freeze.
I've re-installed all plug-ins, but no joy. Should I re-install Soundtrack Pro? Does this mean wiping and re-installing the entire Logic Studio?

The workaround I used was to just export the whole thing without saving, and then reimport it into FCP. It works for this project, but it doesn't really seem like the RIGHT way that this whole operation should work!

Waves plug-ins not showing up in AU.

My waves plug-ins never shows up in logic 7 or 8. But it works as AU under peak and Cubase (under VST). Any solutions?

make sure you are using the latest Intel version, which is 5.9, as far as I know.

I run logic pro 9.1.5 in 64 bit mode on lion osx and my waves plug ins won't show up. Any suggestions?

recenlty i purchased the Kramer mpx master Tape plug in from waves and i try to make it work in logic but no luck.. I switch it as well in 32bit mode some plug ins from wave are showed up but they are not operational. There are a few of them that i can load up... but the ones i really need are really not there..
Have the logic pro 9.1.5 on lion osx and a mac pro early 2008 model...
Any suggestion that i can every works fluently like it suppose to work?
thanks in advance

The crashed thread (7) mentions logic's preferences file. (com.apple.logic.pro). Drag it to the desktop (so you can reclaim you key commands if it works) and restart logic. Logic will create a new preferences file. Worth a try..

About OpenGL and Waves Plug-ins GUI

Hi,
I'm using 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2011 version) and i want to ask some questions about my problem. I'm a producer / sound engineer and i'm using Cubase 4. I installed Waves Complete Bundle Plug-ins. Plug-ins installed successfully but when i opened the plug-in, it works without GUI. I read lots of forums and people says "it can be OpenGL problem". My first question is Intel HD Graphics 3000 supports OpenGL? If it supports how can i solve this problem. I need suggestions about that.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I think all you can do is move them out of whatever folder there are in.

FCP asking for Waves plug-ins folder?

Hello
I could not open FCP 5. It's asking where the waves plug-in folder. So, where is the waves plug-in folder? Why is it asking for waves plug-in folder to open FCP? As always, I appreciate your helps. Thanks
Romanz

If you are having trouble starting FCP the issue may well be WAVES security.
I have the Waves Audio Plugins as well. I have had their Native Power Pack NPP for 3-4 years and their security has always been a royal pain!! From Dongles to PACE security I seem to have trouble with it every year or so.
I believe there are two ways to authorize the WAVES plugins these days. On my machine I am using an authorizer - if you have the other method then this won't be the same. I think the other method these days is with a USB dongle again...
Anyway, if you have recently moved FCP from one machine to another or removed your system harddrive to replace it then you will likely have a problem with their security. Waves will not allow FCP to start up and you will need to remove the plugins folder altogether.

Any problems with Waves plug ins with Logic 8?

Checking to see if anyone has used Waves plug in with Logic 8 yet and had any trouble.

Only the same as in LP7. Maxx Bass and a couple of others fail the validation but still work.

Waves plug ins and B$ available in Garageband????

Hi, Guys & gals. I am a newbie here. Unfortunately I am going thru a nasty divorce and am temporarily separated from my digidesign 003 mixer which makes it impossible to launch pro tools. In the meantime I am going to work in garageband to stay sane while I wait. Ihave several ????s but will post them individually. First I am curious to know if I will be able to access my Waves Platinum bundle and my B4 virtual organ in garageband? Any info, instructions or knowledge will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Misery Meister.

If they are in the AU format they should be usable in GB. Unless someone else in the forum is using the instruments, the best way is to try them out: Create a software instrument track and try to pick the instruments in the "Generator" menu in the track info pane.

Program won't load: Waves plug-in incompatible

Hi,
I'm a totally new user to Final Cut Express HD. I just installed it yesterday, and the program won't even completely load. It gives me an error saying "The Waves plug-in you have opened is too old or incompatible" then it will say "Some Waves plug-ins are missing from the folder." Help! I have no idea what to do. Thank you.
