Пробую сейчас поставить на чистую систему (Win7 64бит), глючная софтина всё ещё. Решил попробовать создать оффлайн инсталлер, выбрал сингл-продукт, уазал папку куда сохранить — вроде запомнило. Чтото скачивало-скачивало, выдало комплит. В итоге в указанной папке ничего не обнаружил, исчу вот куда оно чего скинуло.. И это явно системный раздел, т.к. места там поуменьшилось. И не в основной папке вейвсов (C:Program Files (x86)Waves), а фиг знает где.
Вообще плохо то что теперь уже изначально (при установке етого централа) всё валится на системный раздел.
Блин, раньше всё было просто, оффлайн инсталлер и клиент для регистрации. Сейчас я так понимаю такой возможности уже непредвидется (чтоб для последних версий плагинов).
Гемор какойто вейвсы придумали.

Waves плагины. Проблемы с установкой.

I finally got everything installed and running. DRM and obfuscation is truly a wonderful thing for users (NOT). I’ll note that you now have no choice as to where the Waves plugs are installed. You think I would have learned my lesson, but I got another Waves plug during their Cyber Monday sale today, used Waves Central to install & authorize it — and it did not show up in REAPER! «Rescan» — nothing. >:-( After some thrashing, I found out (on Windows x64) that if you delete all the «WavesShell_VST_9.6. » lines from reaper-vstplugins64.ini and restart REAPER the new plugs appear. I suspect that just removing the «WaveShell_VST_9.6_x64.dll=123456789,0, » line would do it. My theory is that now that everything runs through WavesShell, you have to ‘touch’ WavesShell so REAPER calls it’s init routine, which I suspect is the only time WS looks for new plugs. Hope this helps others who find themselves in the same situation. I’m fairly sure (for the masochists) «Delete VST cache and re-scan» would also work.

it seems that users have trouble to install Waves plugins. A few explanations may be helpful.
This is how it works:

On Windows, the Waves installer copies all required files (DLL and others) into an installation directory
named «c:Program FilesWaves» (32 bit OS) or «c:Program Files(x86)Waves» (64 bit OS).

The Waves installation folder contains a subfolder named «Waveshells».

The Waveshell gives you access to all Waves plugins. It is like a single DLL file that contains all Waves plugins.
Several versions are available:

• WaveShell-VST 9.6.dll . VST2 plugins for 32 bit DAW
• WaveShell-VST 9.6_x64.dll . VST2 plugins for 64 bit DAW
• WaveShell-VST3 9.6.vst3 . VST3 plugins for 32 bit DAW
• WaveShell-VST3 9.6_x64.vst3 . VST3 plugins for 64 bit DAW

In short, you must copy the required WaveShell file to your plugins folder.

Proceed as follows in order to use Waves VST2 plugins:

1. Locate your VST plugins folder (e.g. c:VstPlugins)

2. In this folder, create a subfolder named «Waves»

3. Copy the required Waveshell DLL file into this subfolder

Certain Waves VST2 plugins offer sidechain functionality. These plugins
feature an [SC] icon in the upper left corner, next to the Waves logo.

Examples: C1 comp, C1 gate, RCompressor, InPhase.

Click the [SC] icon in the upper left corner of the plugin to switch from internal
to external gain reduction detection.
[SC] black = internal detection; [SC] orange = sidechain inputs used for detection.

Proceed as follows in order to use Waves VST3 plugins:

1. Locate the VST3 folder
«c:Program FilesCommon FilesVST3» (normal case)
«c:Program Files(x86)Common FilesVST3» (special case: 64 bit OS with 32 bit DAW)

2. In this folder, create a subfolder named «Waves»

3. Copy the required Waveshell VST3 file into this subfolder

Certain Waves VST3 plugins offer sidechain funtionality.

Examples: C1 comp, C1 gate, RCompressor, InPhase, VocalRider

The «plug-in pin connector» window is used to switch from internal to
external gain reduction detection. Sidechain inputs are used for detection
if they are connected in the connector window. Otherwise the normal input
signal determines gain reduction.

Make sure that the VST plugins folder (and optionally also the VST3 plugins folder) is specified in the Reaper VST preferences. After [Clear cache/re-scan], Reaper will show all installed Waves plugins although only the related Waveshell has been scanned.

That sort of confirms what I was thinking. However, from my experiences so far REAPER will not «see» new plugins added unless you get it to call the WaveShell initialization routine (by removing the WaveShell from the appropriate plugin INI file or doing a full clear cache + rescan)

Edit: I just retested this and confirmed new WaveShell plugs don’t show up in REAPER until you remove the «WaveShell_VST_9.6_x64.dll=0123456789,0, » line from the reaper-vstplugins64.ini file. I haven’t tested the ‘clear cache and rescan’ theory yet (and hope not to!)

Also I find I often get weird errors in Waves Central unless I start it using ‘Run as Administrator.’

it seems that users have trouble to install Waves plugins. A few explanations may be helpful.
This is how it works:

I assume you are from Waves?

well, your explanations are another reason why I dont use Waves and will not use Waves plugins.

is there another way thinkable to install plugins without all that hassle? how do other developers do it? is it really wise, to force an installation path on the user?? there are so many reasons to have the plugins NOT on C:

but you professional developers (with that prices for plugins) are not able to develop an installer that lets the user choose? or are you not willing to do so? ok, then its your problem. you will loose customer after customer, because Waves is since some time not the top of the cream anymore, if it anytime was the top at all, what I really doubt.

this whole thing is ridiculous. I wanted to jump on the black friday plugin, saw that I would have to install Waves central, read a little bit about it and thought to myself: well, f*** Waves reverb, there are other that are at least equally good.

time will come and time will tell. but that thread and especially that post is telling that everyone should be think about Waves twice and if in doubt, leave it out. Waves is for me of no interest, and I think, that many others feel the same.

maybe you at Waves rethink what you are doing. hope it for you.

Here is some person that may have been from waves, from what I see what he or she was trying to do was give help and advice.

When the hell are we going to start entreating people instead of dissing people.

Not every one has had a bad experience with waves and they that have had a bad experience are still using waves plugins.

many do use waves and many dont, but its not only waves that some have bad experiences there are many plugins that people have bad experiences with.

I for one have not had that many bad experiences with waves and even now with waves central am finding it very quick and easy to install and use plugins, when i here of some of the problems people have i am baffled, because I just dont get them,

truth is you really dont need waves central to install your plugins, only there newly made plugins you will need waves central.

From what I am being told waves is soon going to be supporting reaper just like they started supporting FL.

But one thing must be said if we are representing a reaper forum then we must make people welcome, and if there trying to help then except it, it may not have helped you but it would have helped some one else.

The cyber world is huge it would be quite impossible not to have a bad experience with plugins and vsts instruments,

If you were working for waves and you were told to distribute a product a certain way thats what you need to do.

Alot of this difficulty in dongles and licenses, and it only can be installed here or there came because of thieves people who steal software and crack software and share it with all there friends,

Yes it can still be cracked but it makes it a little more difficult.

So lets give the guys from waves a little brake, they have really contributed to the musical needs of thousands of music producers, given great quality of plugins and have pushed the boundary of plugin creation, and emulation, lets stop bad mouthing these company’s on this reaper forum it does not look right and it does not represent me and many more people who are involved in this forum.

Если у вас есть проблемы с запуском плагинов от Waves в FL Studio, то есть несколько методов для их решения.

Метод 1: Переустановка плагинов Waves

Первым шагом для решения этой проблемы может быть переустановка плагинов Waves. Важно убедиться, что вы используете последнюю версию плагина, доступную для вашей операционной системы. Чтобы переустановить плагины Waves:

1. Закройте все приложения, включая FL Studio.
2. Откройте менеджер плагинов Waves.
3. Удалите все плагины Waves.
4. Загрузите последнюю версию плагинов Waves на официальном сайте.
5. Установите новые плагины Waves и перезапустите FL Studio.

Метод 2: Проверка наличия файлов DLL

Если переустановка плагинов Waves не помогает, то может быть необходимо проверить наличие файлов DLL. Некоторые плагины Waves используют дополнительные файлы DLL для своей работы. Если эти файлы были удалены, перемещены или повреждены, плагины могут не запускаться в FL Studio.

Чтобы проверить наличие файлов DLL:

1. Откройте папку, где хранятся плагины Waves.
2. Проверьте наличие всех необходимых файлов DLL.
3. Если какого-либо файла нет, попробуйте переустановить плагин или скачать отдельно файл DLL из официальных источников.

Метод 3: Проверка наличия нескольких версий плагина

Еще одним фактором, который может вызывать проблемы с запуском плагинов от Waves в FL Studio, является наличие нескольких версий одного и того же плагина. Наличие нескольких версий может приводить к конфликтам, из-за которых плагин не будет запускаться.

Чтобы устранить эту проблему:

1. Откройте папку, где хранятся плагины Waves.
2. Удалите все старые версии плагинов (если они есть).
3. Переустановите последнюю версию плагина.

Заключение

Проблемы с неоткрывающимися плагинами Waves в FL Studio могут быть вызваны различными факторами. Некоторые из них можно решить путем переустановки плагинов, проверки наличия файлов DLL или устранения конфликтов. Если ни один из этих методов не работает, вам могут потребоваться дополнительные меры, такие как обращение в службу поддержки FL Studio или Waves.

this whole thing is ridiculous. I wanted to jump on the black friday plugin, saw that I would have to install Waves central, read a little bit about it and thought to myself: well, f*** Waves reverb, there are other that are at least equally good.

time will come and time will tell. but that thread and especially that post is telling that everyone should be think about Waves twice and if in doubt, leave it out. Waves is for me of no interest, and I think, that many others feel the same.

maybe you at Waves rethink what you are doing. hope it for you.

I assume you are from Waves?

well, your explanations are another reason why I dont use Waves and will not use Waves plugins.

Here is some person that may have been from waves, from what I see what he or she was trying to do was give help and advice.

When the hell are we going to start entreating people instead of dissing people.

Not every one has had a bad experience with waves and they that have had a bad experience are still using waves plugins.

many do use waves and many dont, but its not only waves that some have bad experiences there are many plugins that people have bad experiences with.

I for one have not had that many bad experiences with waves and even now with waves central am finding it very quick and easy to install and use plugins, when i here of some of the problems people have i am baffled, because I just dont get them,

truth is you really dont need waves central to install your plugins, only there newly made plugins you will need waves central.

From what I am being told waves is soon going to be supporting reaper just like they started supporting FL.

But one thing must be said if we are representing a reaper forum then we must make people welcome, and if there trying to help then except it, it may not have helped you but it would have helped some one else.

The cyber world is huge it would be quite impossible not to have a bad experience with plugins and vsts instruments,

If you were working for waves and you were told to distribute a product a certain way thats what you need to do.

Alot of this difficulty in dongles and licenses, and it only can be installed here or there came because of thieves people who steal software and crack software and share it with all there friends,

Yes it can still be cracked but it makes it a little more difficult.

So lets give the guys from waves a little brake, they have really contributed to the musical needs of thousands of music producers, given great quality of plugins and have pushed the boundary of plugin creation, and emulation, lets stop bad mouthing these company’s on this reaper forum it does not look right and it does not represent me and many more people who are involved in this forum.
