It seems that for quite some time SONAR has been reporting that I had over 2100 plugins installed. I had been doubting that number even though that has what I have claimed I had on this and the Mixbus forum.
 
Well, for an entirely different reason I decided it was time to do a clean install of all my Waves stuff.
 
After that I have 1704 plugins reported by SONAR. That seems more reasonable. And based on the numbers it would appear that somehow I was getting double the count on Waves plugins. FYI: I did not change anything about the way or where I install my Waves plugs. I simply did a full uninstall and then installed them all as if I never had them before.
 
AFAIK SONAR is the only DAW I own that reports the number of plugins it found so I do not know what my other DAWs were doing when scanning.
 
I'm not blaming SONAR but I'm also not sure what caused the screw up.

I get that as well.  It seems that the waveshell gets scanned twice...probably in two different locations...VST and VST3.  

I am seriously disappointed now.  You have stepped onto a lower pedestal.  However, I have regained hope for catching you some day, only 1,445 left to go.   

I may move one closer, if I am ever recognized by IK as owning SVX, with seven registered installs left.  
 

Which means that I really only have about 1300 (also minus any other VST2/VST3 double installs, AVOX EVO for one).
 
I wish Mixbus would support VST3, then I would not have to do the double installs.

I gotta say I think it is way cool how hard you work mixbus.

As a mixing environment I love it.
 
As a DAW (record, edit, operate in MIDI) not so much.
