Hi Guys

i wrote to waves about this and they told me its a cubase thing and the work arround was to make new tracks then insert waves again … this is a pain for a project with 47 tracks …anybody have a better idea ?

Hi . I’ve not had this issue with Waves , bought some version 12’s as well and everything is working find it’s only those annoying AA bugs of crashing on exit that persist
it is after version 12 i got this
This is the reply from waves.:
Dear Tony,
Thank you for contacting Waves Tech Support.
We’ve actually encountered this issue before -
There’s currently an issue on Steinberg’s end and Cubase 10.5 in which the plug-ins load fine, but due to routing issues with Projects saved in Previous versions of Cubase, it does not process audio…
The current workaround is to create new Audio Tracks in your projects, and load the plug-ins on those.
Let me know how that workaround goes for you, so I can provide further assistance as required.

Now this i s where it gets sticky !
my current project is a mix not a recording i did but a simple mix where i downloaded the files and themn imported them into my “Mix Template”
this template was concieved on cubase 10.5 .01.
so is the updated cubase at fault or is the waves v12. not compatible yet ???
but the work around works but why ???
it was a new project … only the template is old … like one year old
errrrrrrrgh
Anybody ???
pls help !!! 
i feel sick …
i have to finish this job and i will , even without waves … no big deal
but what pisses me off is my workflow is well and truly compromised…
what must i do …
import files then cut and paste them onto new tracks ??
great that i only have small track counts, on any given day usualy between 16 an 32 recorded tracks ( on top of that are groups , auxes and busses)
heaven forbid a cinematic project with hundreds of tracks …(which is not, may i add in my pay grade )
jeeeeeeeeeeezus am i fed up
with the imminent arrival of cubase 11 i doubt very much steinberg can spare any support time for me …
so please somebody in here may give me some help
cheers.

so the latest from this !

Hi Tony,
Understood -
At this time, We’ve seen that complete removal and re-installation of our plug-ins does not resolve this issue, as this is between the plug-ins and the DAW itself (Cubase).
Other than that, we are in-touch with Steinberg to have this matter resolved, prior to the release of Cubase 11 (by which, the fix will already be implemented in their software).
I’ll keep you updated regarding any further updates from us and Steinberg regarding a solution to this issue.

I’ll have a look a bit later when i build a new template but all my wave plugin’s rendered down and process as they should, that’s with the V11 and 12 on the latest version of win 10 -2004 build .
@ Modularnutter
as far as i understand if it works it works …
for some reason this problem is sporadic…
i cant think for the life of me how but it is what it is…
what i do know is i find it so annoying that both houses have not said anything (to my knowledge) of this issue…
a little knowledge can mean the difference of hours if not days of wasted time looking for solutions to a problem.
i had thought of clean installing my DAW… thank god i did not…
i can just about say in all fairness these things happen … i normally have no issues with my DAW while others do … so its my turn
the only thing is people spend good money on third party stuff and above all they do so in the faith that all will be ok… not so
neither steinberg or waves could have foreseen this and i lay no portion of blame on anyone … just the fact of no knowledge or no issues reported makes me feel… how can i say… left alone in the dark (cue song idea )
the job i was working on was finished on time with no waves vst and my workflow was not in anyway obstructed as bad as i thought it may have been… just different and that is good right ?
anyway …
we shall wait and see… meanwhile i have brought a product that remains useless until someone somewhere cares enough to shed some light on this annoying bug … fixing it would be better …
cheers.

I too have not been able to use my waves plugins with Cubase 12, they worked fine in Cubase 11
but now they are all on the plugin manager blocked list, stating they are vst 2 and no longer supported, even though my recent pruchases say they are all Vst3.
been in touch with waves and nothing they have suggested has resolved the issue, I think I`m going to ask for a refund on the plugins I just bought this week, let me know if you have had any luck sorting it
thanks
Mike
Just for clarification, VST2.x plugins are supported in Cubase 12. 32 bit plugins are not.
It costs $250 to upgrade all your Waves plugins to the newest version, even if you have 70 of them. Likewise moving to the lastest Cubase might cost $150. On the other hand, if your PC is too old to run Win11, then you really do have a problem in regards to support. In the end we do what we can but, as always, the new tech will one day be old. Good luck.
yeah mine work for now but after the last one stops i am done with waves plugins for good
i like some of them and will miss them , however i dont like the agressive marketing from them and the update scheme… i dont want to have to buy a plugin and then every year have to pay to update it or buy it again…
i am so sick of their mails every day in my in box, i paid a lot of money over the years and now it will stop.
i will never buy a new plugin from waves again the ones i have i will use untill i cant anymore and that will be the end.
when i started out using them i too was fooled buy some superstar engineer spouting off how great they are etc. but the truth is … marketing 1 me 0…
i wont miss the special deals …just for me…
nor will i miss them trying to get me too buy a bundle above the one i have with “x” amount of new plugins… the truth is those plugins are ancient and i would never use them they came out in the early 2000s and have not changes one bit (morph, mondo,etc) utter rubish as far as i am concerned.
i will not miss waves for one second since i have plugin alliance stuff… better by far , ok the marketing is just as agressive but on a different scale…
this is not a waves hate rant but just a dissenchanted customer who is fed up of the typical "American hard sale " tactic… being treated like some clueless fool for so many years has taken its toll.
money is tight worldwide people in our line of buisness are the very bottom of the food chain .
cubase stock plugins for me over waves anyday . they do what they are supposed to do just because there is no fancy GUI or some “name” selling it dosent mean its not good
…
anyways guys this is my opinion only and does not affect the way anyone else should look at waves…
good luck
Cheers
