WinterMute Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I've never had fun with waves, I've ditched the bundle I used and I have literally 2 plug-ins now, the Abbey Road Plates and an analog EQ model thats very funky, I bought perpetual licenses for both so I don't have to deal with the subscription service... If they're hooky, you're going to have even more problems, I've had to strip whole systems down to get rid of pirated Waves plug-ins. There are better sounding plug-ins by the bucketload, Sound Toys, UAD2, Sonnox etc. Edited March 12, 2022 by WinterMute typo 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 ... but you're right, they're a pain in the wotsit. I think I may have kept one or two (checks... Yes, the Abbey Road bundle stuff...), but I wouldn't fight hard to keep it all for the faff it entails. Ignore Waves for now, and get the thing up and running first. Come back to it after a decade or so... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come back to it after a decade or so... I don’t feel so bad now having read that the brand is a proper pain in the arris ! the b1tch is that they were pretty much my go to FX and splashed all over this months entry , which I haven’t rendered to wav yet. now I know that the tutorials are utter bollox and I might have lost them , I will try some random approaches and see what happens. If I have less expectation, the disappointment and anger will probably be tamed a touch ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I’ve got the old machine back up , by the same process I might get the new one running with any luck. download the offline ‘downloaded’ and install each vst ...individually 🤦♂️ ed to add entry now rendered 😂 Edited March 12, 2022 by lurksalot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Weighed in , weighed in ...waves products are now loaded and working on the new machine . That was hard work but I am a novice at this stuff , and hopefully will last another 10 years or so before I have to do it again ! now for the izotope, kontact, and all the other bits and pieces of random software that I occasionally use 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 As a complete contrast , the izotope and eventide products installed as sweet as a nut , not that quick to actually do it all , but much less of a faff. this might be that I got into the swing of it , or more like the instructions actually worked . game on now, on the super fast new toy 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Well, the machine turned itself off last night , the chord from the external power pack barely reaches between the floor and the machine and thus strains the connection. it’s going back. I’ll have to start over again . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
