Cubase 6/windows 7 32 bit won't load waves plugs ??

When I re open a Cubase 6 project (32 bit), I get a "list" of all the waves plugs, but it won't load them. It will simply just "churn" until I either select a waves plug, or click elsewhere,... at which time the project will load, just without any of the waves plugs.

I can always load a waves plug with no problem. C6 just won't load the same plugs into a previously saved project. Again, this only started when I switched from XP to windows 7.

Any ideas?

i had similar issue and had to reinstall the plugs to their own folder, not the cubase vst folder, then i went into the cubase device drop down and told cubase to locte not only the vst folder, but the waves folder too.

I tried that, to no avail. Are you talking about the cubase "plug in manager" (I believe that's what it's called), under the drop down menu? If so, how do you "tell" cubase to locate the waves folder?

There's an "update" plugins button. I do have "waveshell" listed in the plugins list, but it still won't "remember" the waves plugs that were loaded the last time.

under device its the plugin information button then its the update vst2 path.

I can't say i have seen this pro before, but if it does not fix the problem a post in the cubase forum might come to a conclusion... wish i could be more help.

I have the exact same problem, but with C6.5 on OSX 10.6.8

You need to scan the waveshell.dll, not the plugs themselves.

A few dozen Waves 9 installations done, never an issue.

.dll? On OSX?

It says "Windows" in the thread name... I was not answering your post.

I don't get it,...how do I "scan the waveshell.dll" ?

In a VST host, you tell it in what folders the plugins are located. Most hosts can point at more then one folder.
Waves installs the actual plugins in one location, but the vst waveshell files can (and should) be stored somewhere else, preferably where you installed other plugins.
So, don't scan the plug files (with their real plugin names), but the 32 and/or 64 bit VST "waveshell" files which the Waves installer asks you where to put them.

Indeed the waveshell file is stored elsewhere,...I can find it, ...sorry if I'm being dense, but how do I "point" Cubase to that file and how do I then "scan" said file?

I already told you that.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I did go to the "update vst2 path", however from there is where I can't figure out how to "scan" the waveshell file. I assume I'm to use the "add" button, which I did,.. yet when I try to then find the waveshell.dll, I can't find it.

I can find it easily when I simply open the c drive, program files, etc. Another strange thing is the fact that within the plugin manager, "waveshell" is listed already, with a "check" beside it, yet Cubase still won't load the plugs when opening.

Again,... what the?

hmmmm, when u installed did you choose the path or did you let it goes to its own directory.

only thing i can think is re install. it took me a few times, but i got mine to go... same system as you.

[teknatronik]

if u want to just scan only click update, if you want to choose path go to vst2... if it is showing yet nothing is coming up when u try an load one, re install.

I just re installed. I let it choose the path. The plugins were placed in there own folder, while the waveshell was placed in the "steinberg vstplugins" folder.

I then went to the plugin menu in cubase, added the waveshell path, and cubase still wont load the waves plugs upon re opening a previously saved project.

Perhaps steinberg support will come up with an answer.

Thanks

Update,...Steinberg support says they "think" the waves version I'm still using(4.0) isn't compatible with Cubase on Windows 7.

I really didn't want to have to "upgrade" anything else, especially since I don't use that many waves plugs in my projects.

Here we go again,..geez.

I've never been impressed with Steinberg support. It would not be the first time they give erroneous advice.

In my case, the Waves plug-in DOES show up in Cubase 5.5.3 but NOT in Cubase 6.5.2 so I seriously doubt a re-install would improve matters.

Waves doesn't even support v4 anymore I think. At some point you either need to update or leave your system as is.

In my case, the waves plugs "show up", so to speak. I can load them no problem, .. cubase just wont re load them after a save and re open. This is what's so frustrating.

Steinberg support just helped me figure out a digital out distortion issue I was having,..so I haven't had too many bad support experiences,.. but I did like it WAY better when I could just pick up the phone and actually speak with a human without any hassles.
