I have contacted Waves and they are working on a solution.Subreddit Info and Rules Pro Tools Shortcuts Production & Engineering Subreddits FAQ Guides and Tutorials PlugIns r/ProTools on Discord About r/ProTools So anyone on Win 64 experiencing Waves crashes – And I mean total Waves crashes – ie.
Notice in my screenshot that Wavelab also had the same problem.īookmark this key and if you suffer this problem go back and DELETE the registry DATA contained in this key that relates to your DAW host. This may of course be different for another machine so it probably better to use the search method as mentioned above.
How to find the key: Search registry for “WaveShell-VST3 9.2_圆4” and you will find the odd key with IgnoreFreeLibrary associated.ĭo not search for AppCompatFlags as it will bring up tons of irrelevant stuff. Solution – DELETE the registry DATA contained in this key (as highlighted in my screenshot) that relates to your DAW host.Waveshell will now crash every time it is loaded / used (unless the shell is renamed).Waveshell gets added to the reg key with “IgnoreFreeLibraries” with reference to Cubase (or whatever caused the crash).
I had already done a clean install of all related applications, Waves, Cubase etc., And also cleaned registry of everything that mentioned Waves before re-installing…įinally I decided to search the registry for WaveShell-VST3… Low and behold the solution – A very odd registry key gets added if the Waveshell crashes. Renaming it back to the original WaveShell-VST3 9.2_圆4.vst3 still causes crashes… What is going on? Waveshell crashes again and now the projects will not load again even with the renamed file, unless it was renamed yet again. I renamed the file to WaveShell-VST3 9.2_圆4_BLAH.vst3 Wow! Success!Īll my projects loaded again… But it is not over yet. This file is found here and this put me on the right path: I found a post related to a different issue that suggested renaming the WaveShell-VST3 9.2_圆4 file. I am using Cubase here but it could be any 64 Bit DAW host application.Cubase crashes when inserting ANY Waves plugin into a fresh project.Cubase crashes when loading a project that contains ANY Waves plugins.
