Waves Plug-Ins Not To Be Found In Logic on new M1 iMac

Hello, I got the new M1 iMac and Opened up Logic Pro X to find that none of my Waves Plugins show up at all. I have my Plugins installed on my M1 Mac but they just don't show up in Plug-In Manager or anywhere else in Logic at all. I have some screenshots showing my software versions and screenshots of the problem where Waves doesn't appear anywhere. Please help me find a way to be able to use Waves plugins again on my M1 iMac.

Hello FabJoe, and welcome to Logic Pro Help!

 

Unfortunately, Waves plug-ins have yet to be updated to work with M1 Macs.

 

See:

 

• Apple Silicon (M1, M2) Compatibility: AU Plug-Ins, Software, Hardware

• Waves M1 Macs (Apple Silicon) Compatibility Update

Hi,

 

That is strange because I use Waves plugins on my M1 Mac and they show up and work fine.

 

Are you opening Logic with Rosetta checked off?

 

Yes indeed. I Have that box checked out.

I wish I knew what the reason was. All of my Waves plugins on my M1 Mac show up and work fine in Logic 10.6.3. Could it be that you are on an M1 iMac and I am on an M1 Mac Mini? I doubt it though because they are the same processor, right? The only difference I see is you are using version 12.0.0 for the Waves plugins whereas I am using 12.7.0. Here's a snapshot of my Plug-in Manager below...

 

Hi FabJoe, this issue occurred for me as well on both an M1 Mac and Intel iMac with 10.6.3.

 

The way I solved the issue of Waves plug-ins not showing up in Logic Pro was to follow this support doc from Waves. Specifically step #3:
