Hey everyone!

So ive got a new PC and went to install all my plugins. However, no matter what i do the waves plugins seem to sometimes not get detected and even if they do, they dont show up in my effects list.

Ive located all the possible vst paths i know:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
C:\Program Files\VSTPlugIns
C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins
C:\Program Files(x86)\CommonFiles\VST3
C:\Program Files(x86)\VSTPlugIns
C:\Program Files(x86)\Steinberg\VSTPlugins

Ive tried reinstalling the waves plugins multiple times, tried reinstalling Waves Central and the plugins multiple times and also tried reinstalling studio one, but nothing seems to work.

I have no idea what to do to get them to show up. Some help on this would be appreciated, maybe someone knows any solution.


PC Specs, if thats any relevant:

64 BIT OS, Ryzen 5950x, 64 GB RAM, RTX 3060, Samsung 980 PRO SSD 2TB

Happened to me a few weeks back. Usually I'll just check or reset the S1 block list only this time it wouldn't work (repeatedly). That had me stumped. I contacted Waves, support and they re adjusted MS Redistributables. Just so happens, there was a Windows update which occurred immediately after that very first sign of no Waves plugins.

If you've made sure Studio One VST locations list is set properly (which I believe you have), and you selected to detect plugins at startup, and still no sign of Waves plugins, you'll have to contact Waves customer support. Don't fret, their customer support is very good. During the right hours, you call them and they'll fix it on the spot. Unlike SOME companies we won't mention where you can't even speak to someone initially. :evil:

If you've 1st updated the latest Waveshell, and your plugins are shown as installed, and updated, then made sure Studio One VST locations list is set properly (which I believe you have), and you selected to detect plugins at startup, and still no sign of Waves plugins (reboot twice just to make sure), and still nothing, then you'll have to contact Waves customer support. Don't fret, their customer support is very good. During the right hours, you call them and they'll fix it on the spot.

Now that you mention it, there is a windows update actually, i think i will do that and if that doesnt solve it i will contact the waves support!
Thanks for your help! :)

Good. Yeah, usually MS updates won't upset the Waves plugins, or others, but this happened to a few of us recently and the redistributables fix did it.

If you want to fix the redistributals yourself, this from Waves: (If you're unsure how to perform this, contact Waves Support, and they will check your issues).

Thank you for contacting Waves Tech Support.

I suggest following the next steps:
- Quit all applications.
- Make sure all the latest windows updates are installed.
- Go to C:\Program Files\Waves Central\resources\res\external\Redistributables.
- Now, go through each folder and run all the Application files, one by one. Select the 'Repair' option to repair all of them.
- If prompted to restart, you can skip that until you finish all the files. Then restart.
- Launch your DAW and Load your plugins.

In case you are getting any error messages please reply with a screenshot.

Same old same old.
Take note of VST folder locations (screenshot).
Delete them all.
Reset blacklist.
Restart studio one! - twice! (important).
Chances are you will not need to put the old folder paths back in and everything should just work.. check it before you do so.

This may noy be "same old same old". Recent occurrences with Wavesshelll v12 update (not the original v12, but a latest v12 update) have required the Waves files to be redistributed all at one time, then rebooting and opening Studio One. Capturing a screenshot, and re setting paths to the blacklist in these recent occurrences had not worked with a number of us. That's not to say, it won't in all cases, but we've seen somewhat of a snag from either Waves updating, and or conflicting with an MS update.
Currently, we have to see how it affects each user.
Thx.

@ Janhammer: please let us know how you resolved the issue, so others can best get back their Waves plugs if a similar condition arises.
Manny Thanks! .

Cool.
I have so many instances of Schepps Omni Channel, and the SSL bundle, that I was getting the shakes. I was surprised how quick Waves Support responded. I contacted them at 9:00 am U.S. Eastern Standard time (NYC).
Thank you my friend,

For the record, I have not experienced any issue with the Waves plugs I own with Windows Home 1903 and Studio One 5.3.
Windows and Waves are all at current versions.
I appreciate this thread to see what issues others are experiencing.
Keep posting results here.

Thanks Jim for helping to monitor this.
Here's a link where this occurence was not fixed by adjusting the blacklist but by adressing Waves redistributals. It may prove helpful. For reference purposes only.

Hoping all went well.

Hi everyone, I've got the same problem. I haven't tried any of the fixes above yet. I'll try the reset blacklist thing first, then if no luck the redistributables, and give you the results here.

Cheers.

Hey, sry for some reason i didnt get any notifications of anything that was posted here anymore.
I have written with them, they also suggested the redistributable fix, but i couldnt modify and therefore repair the microsoft redistributable from 2010 and older so that didnt help.
They then suggested me to download their teamviewer program and make a appointment for a remote session, but i havent heard anything further yet after telling them when im available.
Which is why i stopped by here again to see if anything else had been posted that may help.

Also, off topic but i have another issue where studio one doesnt load some of my effects plugins in old projects from my old pc, it says "This device is not installed on your system" even though the plugins work just fine when i open them new, be it in new projects or the old one(except for the waves plugins obviously).
Ive already tried fixing it by clearing the blocklist and restarting studio one twice as some people suggested in other threads but that didnt do it for me. Maybe you or anyone else have some other ideas?

Seems like you have a missing device, not a missing plugin.

But then why doesnt it load the plugin?
Like, how would a missing device affect a plugin loading?

Not sure.
Can you narrow this down to a particular plugin?

It seems to mainly be FabFilter Pro-Q3, Pro- L, Pro- C (Pro-MB works), the waves plugins, Span and portal that dont work. But when i load them, even in the same project the old ones dont work in, they work...

They really do all have this "missing device" error. Can you nail it down to a specific plugin by disabling/enabling them?
