Been running Cubase 8.5 for a couple of weeks - no problems. Started a new project yesterday and every Waves plug crashes Cubase. Izotope Alloy and Ozone work with out issue. Ive opened and existing project and it opens fine but as soon as I try to open a Waves plug it crashes.
Also opened in Cubase 8 and 7.5 so I’m guessing it might be a Waves issue. Have contacted Waves but no response yet.
Anyone experiencing the same or have any ideas to resolve?
Thanks for all your responses. I’ve used Waves Central from when it was released and have tried a complete uninstall and fresh install but still the same problem. When I try to load a plugin, I get the spinning ‘W’ and then the plug starts to load but Cubase crashes before the plug interface fully appears.
I’m waiting for Waves to get back to me but just wondered if it was a common problem. Thanks again.
One more thing to check if after the waves installation the c++ 2005 and 2008 distributed components are installed, they usually start automatic right after finishing the waves section.
But the UAC restriction is also one to look at, and … maybe some antivirus/anitmalware software active?
I’ve seen this issue with multiple copies different versions of the waveshell installed on a machine.
You should probably uninstall waves totally.
Once uninstalled search " c:\program files\ " and "c:\program files (x86)" (and sub folders)
for any remaining copies of “waveshell*”
If found you can safely delete them, if you have chosen to fully uninstall waves.
Reboot pc
Reinstall Waves plugins through the new waves central management tool.
Once reinstalled. Reboot again
Then launch Cubase 8.5 and rescan through the Plugin Manager.
