Waves plugins dissapearing?

[soundcheckers]

I beleive it has something to do with your display settings.
If you're using Windows, go to your display cp/settings and make sure the color is set to 32bit. That should make them show up. I had that problem with my last PC and changing the color to 32bit fixed it.

Good luck!

Hey, so I had the same issue crop up a couple of times now on my PT 8 HD Mac computer.

The first time I noticed it was when I opened some mixes up that I had done on a different computer (same PT version and Mac OS). All of the SSL and CLA plugins had defaulted, tho the other Waves plugins I had used were how I had left them. Since I hadn't gotten too far on the mixes and was gonna tweak them anyways, I assumed (I know what that does...) that it was because I had saved them as a preset on the other computer and they didn't transfer over.

Last night we had a tracking session. After the first song, we took an hour to dial in the sounds with everything, so that I could just save a template and we could start flying from there. However, everytime that we opened a new session, SOME of the Waves plugins would default back to its orginial setting (4 out of 7 Ren 6, 3 out of 4 CLA-3A's, 1 out of 2 CLA-2A), along with all presets disappearing in the menu, both User made and Factory.

I am going to try and reinstalling Waves, but I am REALLY hoping that I don't have to reinstall PT... Any information PLEASE!!!

Never happened to me, touch wood.

Might be useful if you posted the version, the kind of computer, OS, RAM, all the normal specs that let people help.

Agree.

Give Waves version # along with the other things loujudson suggests (OS, RAM, computer make/Mac model, PT version etc). You certainly shouldn't have to 'reinstall PT', though you might need to sort out some disk permissions or etc if you're on Mac.

Did you ever get this solved? Not quite sure the nature of the issue still, whether it's GUI related, or plugins 'losing' settings or etc...
