Waves Plugin Question
I have seen this topic talked about, but have not really found any info that puts my mind at ease.
Waves plugins in Ableton.
I see the compatibility chart, which states that Waves AU will not work in ableton. Thing is, that is all I really use. They work fine. I do have a few issues with the Renaissance and V series (V comp being the real bummer). I cannot seem to get those to work in either VST or AU. I have tried a lot of suggestions I have read and am still at a loss.
Is the V comp something I should plan on not having access to on my system? honestly I love the Glue compressor for Buss compression in Ableton so I am not without options.
Why would Waves AU units work on my system when listed as not supported?
Ableton live 9 suite 9.1.4
Mac OSX 10.9.4
Waves 9
At a loss. Hoping someone will point my chin in the right direction, or at the very least, tell me to quit worrying about it.
Thanks,
Paul

For example, you need to turn them off and on again every time you reload a set, as otherwise they will be bypassed.
Those bugs are fixed with the VST versions, so we highly recommend using them from now on.
Hope it helps,
David

Things seem to be working well, with one caveat; I cannot load presets from the load menu. I have stopped using the AU version as they are indeed a bit buggy. 70% of the time they work as intended. Not having presets is not a deal breaker for me, as I tend to work from scratch. But if there is a work around, or if I am simply doing something wrong, I would love to know.
In the end, really, I am so very happy with the built in effects Live offers that I am shying away from 3rd party plugins. Low latency, functional... everything sidechainable. Great stuff.
Thanks

"I have learned to move my waves_shell to a custom vst folder..."
how is this done?
i downloaded waves central main thing, and the free offer of supertap delay, and i think, some kind of free rack device.
howver, i can't even figure out how to access them at all in their own right, nevermind attempting to open them and/or try to make them/the delay work with ableton.
all that happens is that the interface for downloading and activating plugins open, but no interface for using anything.
i am flummoxed!
so... for example, how can i, and what do i do to perhaps use supertap with ableton?1 year ago | 0 comments
