XXXXX,
Thanks. Since my time was short, and I hadn't yet received responses from you or Tascam, I went ahead and took a flyer and grabbed the Nuendo flavor. You are correct that the X-48 is VST.
The plug-ins seem to work fine on the X48 (most of them ended up in a folder called ...Steinberg\Plug-ins\. which I hadn't known existed until this process.. The only issue is that I installed the plug-ins before I realized that the X48 needed an iLok Driver, which I ended up installing after I installed the plug-ins. I'm still getting messages about not being authorized to use the plug-ins, so I have a sneaking suspicion that they're in the 14-day demo period.
I understand that Waves doesn't support the X48. Having dispensed with that liability issue, in your personal experience, on an XP system with a Cubase/Nuendo-style host, do you think I might need to re-install the plug-ins now that the iLok driver is correctly installed?

Dear Allan;
Thank you for your email, I'm XXXXX XXXXXXX of Waves Technical Support team.
Waves is not supporting the X48. However, we can try and do some things to make it work, but, I can't promise that we'll succeed.
On the downloads page, choose Version 5, WinXP, Cubase SX and No APA. I assume that the plug-ins engine in the X48 is VST. Try to install it, see if it works, we'll keep going from there.
Best Regards,

-------Question/Reply from [bonedome] at 1/22/2008 6:37:58 PM
I have a Tascam X48, which purports to support Waves plug-ins. I purchased the NPP (actually just a license number) at GC. Now I need to download the software and burn it to a disc to install it on the X48. Your download servers are asking me questions which I can''t answer. The X48 runs on a Windows XP Embedded OS, on a Celeron processor of some sort. It''s current X48 software version is 1.04. What is the correct version of the software I need to download? Arguably this is a tech question, but since I haven''t yet downloaded the software (although I have paid for the license, #XXXXXXXXXXXX), I haven''t registered it, and you won''t let me ask a tech question without a registered piece of software. Tascam''s website is, of course, no help. Could you please help me? Thanks!
