It asks that I simply select the plugins I want to install from a list of all of Waves Plugins. Hate it hate it hate it!ĮDIT: I have downloaded their hard to find V9 installer to get my V9 plugins back. It's just crappy, outdated Waves and their crappy outdated user-unfriendly installation and licensing system.

I'm just sick of this BS, after all the money I've spent with them over the years. Every time I give music production a break and go back to it weeks later - problem with Waves. It's like they just deleted it from my account.Įvery time there's a major Windows update - problem with Waves. I look in my Waves account on the site - it's not even showing that I own Abbey Road Vinyl, despite the fact that I do and have used it for at least 2 years. I read their official help docs - nothing pertaining to my problem. dll's, and there's never a simple solution. It's complete BS.Įvery time I try to Google these problems, I see others experiencing similar crap, or something involving Waves Shell. Where is it? Where could it possibly have gone in that time? Nowhere. It's not on my computer, it's not in the cloud, it's as if it doesn't exist. So I go to Waves Central, and lo and behold, all of my licenses are there except for that one. Like right now, it won't load any instance of Abbey Road Vinyl in a project.

Despite this, I'll go to open a project a month later and get some error message about a Waves plugin not loading. During that time, I won't open a DAW or any other music software, I don't delete or uninstall anything and basically nothing should have changed in my whole VST setup. Here's a typical scenario (just happened to me now): I'll give production a break for a month or so for one reason or another. It's absolute garbage, and it's an insult to anyone who spends $$$'s with them. I have lost count of how many times I've had plugins that wouldn't load, or were missing, or had licenses mysteriously disappear from my account. I am SO SICK of Wave's crappy, almost universally hated and condemned installation system.
