ezyoke Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi, I recently switched from Pro Tools LE to Logic 9 but had one question. Well, I have many but here goes. I purchased Waves plug-ins for RTAS when I was in PT and I have the iLok key that has all the registrations, etc. Can I not use those with Logic? They don't see to show up or am I just not looking in the right place. Can you buy additional plugs for Logic? Sorry for the ignorance. And, thanks for the help in advance.

fader8 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Run the Waves installer. There should be an option to install the Audio Unit versions. If not, contact Waves. Knowing them they'll want to charge you for it. Logic supports virtually all available Audio Unit format plug-ins. It does not natively support VST plug-ins.

ezyoke Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Thanks. Yeah, they charge for everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezyoke Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 They still don't show up in Logic under the AU plugs. Hmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 First, check for proper installation of the ".component" Waves files: they should be in one of those two locations: YOUR-HOME-FOLDER/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ OR Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to install the Audio Unit version of those plug-ins as fader8 indicated. Logic only supports AU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezyoke Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 This was WAVES reply. And, they are where he suggested they would be. Please notice that after installation, you will have the file; WaveshellAU7.0.component in the following location; System Hard-Drive>Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>Components If you are experiencing any problems with loading your plugins in Logic or Digital Performer - please reply this Email and provide us with specific details regarding the problem which you are experiencing.

ezyoke Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 The thing is, WAVES does NOT have that option when installing. It just does an "auto" install with no options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezyoke Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 BTW David. I bought your book and am getting ready to go through it. It's frustrating for me going from PT to Logic but I needed to make that move. Just going to have to get used to it but I like it so far.

David Nahmani Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 BTW David. I bought your book and am getting ready to go through it. It's frustrating for me going from PT to Logic but I needed to make that move. Just going to have to get used to it but I like it so far. Always a bit frustrating at first. Keep at it, you'll get to love it. I switched from PT as well, albeit years ago. As for your issue, the next step would be to open Logic, then choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio Units Manager, and in there see what "compatibility" is listed for your Waves plug-ins?

ezyoke Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 It says that they could not be opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 So now you should report that to Waves tech suppt and continue your conversation with them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezyoke Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Okay, success! I had to go in and trash a bunch of stuff from the library folder. Why is WAVES always so difficult? Any other plug-ins that I should look at instead? Thanks all for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am3king Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 ezyoke: im having the same issues with waves how did you get it to function in logic? i noticed you said you had to trash a bunch of stuff! like what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezyoke Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 @am3king. This is what I had to do to get things right. 1) Quit Logic 2) Go to System Hard-Drive>Users>Current User>Library>Preferences and trash the folder; Waves Preferences 3) System Hard-Drive>Users>Current User>Library>Caches and trash the folder; Waves 4) Go to System Hard-Drive>Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>Components and remove any V5/6 WaveShell files (if they're there) named; WaveShellAU5.0.x.component/ WaveShellAU6.0.x.component 5) Go to System Hard-Drive>Users>Current User>Library>Caches and trash the file com.apple.audio-unit.cache 6) Empty the Trash Can 7) Go to System Hard-Drive>Applications>Waves>WaveShells and launch the Waves AU Reg Utility 7.0 (hit Let's go and Done) 8) When the application (AU REG Util) prompts you to locate the Waves Plugins folder - navigate to; System Hard-Drive>Applications>Waves and select the Waves Plug-Ins folder and hit Choose. 9) Launch Logic, Waves Preferences window will show up - check only the last checkbox ("Don't ask me again") 10) In Logic go to the Audio Unit Manager (Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio Unit Manager) and verify that all Waves Plugins checkboxes are checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezyoke Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 @am3king So glad I could help. I've never been able to actually help someone else so it feels pretty good! Anyway, hope things go well for you. I hope you become as happy as I am with Logic Pro. It has been a wonderful transition and I wish I would have done it long ago. Happy tracking! Cheers!!

VicDiesel Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 First, check for proper installation of the ".component" Waves files: they should be in one of those two locations: What am I supposed to find there? I bought the Audiotrack plug (audiomidi "no-brainer" deal) and told the W8 installer to install just that thing. It wound up installing a whole buncha crap, and in my Components folder I'm only finding a "WaveShell-AU 8.0.component". Should there be anything more? Victor.

VicDiesel Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 5) Go to System Hard-Drive>Users>Current User>Library>Caches and trash the file com.apple.audio-unit.cache Ouch. I'd rather not. 9) Launch Logic, Waves Preferences window will show up - check only the last checkbox ("Don't ask me again") but then this doesn't happen. 10) In Logic go to the Audio Unit Manager (Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio Unit Manager) and verify that all Waves Plugins checkboxes are checked Instead you tell the AU Manager to rescan the waves plugs, and Bob's your uncle! Thanks for posting that. Victor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
