greggybud, sorry you had any problems with Waves. I agree Waves is a helpful company and so much has changed recently with their offerings. I’ve not had the issues you’ve had but then, I NEVER tell Waves to install anything but VST3 plugins. I’m running 14.0.8 these days and all is good here.
Anyway, when I saw this post, and seeing it was 3 years old, I wondered why is it popping up? I think you should EDIT THE TITLE to say the issue is SOLVED. As the OP, this how you tell others how things ended up so they can avoid reading a post that doesn’t have any application today. Thanks.
