Oh yea, I forgot about this...
...after moving up all my waves stuff to V9 and even getting a couple new plugs with my re-WUP vouchers I've got everything (except AudioTrack...which isn't ported to V9 yet) running hot straight and normal. But...of course, duh....now when I open up recent and older projects that contained any of my V7 and V8 waves plugs in them X1 can't find them as they no longer exist. And...sigh...since it doesn't automatically replace them with the new V9 plugs I have to delete them and reinsert the new ones and then tweak them all over again. This is a pain particularly on tracks that I had just about perfect with several plugs one of which was a WAVES. The upside is that when I retweak them I invariably find new chains I like better, optimist me.
