Just started getting a notification on startup that my Waves shell vst3 has been blacklisted I’m currently running Mac OS 15.6.1 (24G90) Cubase 14.0.2. I can’t seem place a cause because I havent updated anything just randomly started getting these notifications. Any idea as to what causes it?
Hi and welcome to the forum,
Update to the latest Cubase 14.0.32, please. Ensure, the Waves plug-ins are up to date and also the PACE software and iLok driver.
Cubase blocklists a plug‑in when it either crashes during initialization or fails integrity/security checks. That can be triggered by: a plugin crash on a previous launch, broken/missing Waves runtime files, macOS blocking the plugin (quarantine / Gatekeeper / code‑signing), an architecture mismatch (Intel vs Apple Silicon), or a Waves component being partially updated/removed by Waves Central or another process.
Ok I will try. I’ve also found the Dowload assistant doesn’t ever work I’ve tried unistalling reinstalling and it just fails to load
