Maserati Bundle not working with X2

Okay, I downloaded the Maserati pack......even though it shows up in  Explorer     program files (86) waves / plugins...with this location X2 could not find it.......I added the path waves shell and it showed up in X2....I click on one of the Maserati plugs and X2 states that it was inproperly installed. Help!
 
Thanks
 
PS: Ironically I bought Waves NLS some time ago and had no install issues, go figure

Thanks! geez, I've wasted half the day on this

Oh no, it gets better....my cpu has NEVER crashed because of a software issue or vst plug.....and now, although Maserati loads and works (I'm auditioning the acoustic guitar presets right now)......X2 keeps telling me it has to close.....I'm surprised there's an issue with Waves......what is your path with Maserati?

Thanks Dave........I called Waves tech support....no help there, lol

Calling Waves again...............oy

It's okay...the tech (he sounded French, I wonder if he secretely works for Slate, lol)...was a huge help...he did a remote look through and openend a new template in X2......the Waves plugs were installed correctly and it worked with a new template.....I then went back into X1 which is still installed....no issues, great....I then openend X2 on a pre existing tune and so far so good.......Au Revois!

Any explanation why that was necessary?

I'm thinking about future installs. I've never had any issue with Waves until this install.

Thanks for the info.

I haven't had a chance to really play with anything yet. I didn't have enough time today but I did decide to back everything up. Go figure. :)

Guys,

I just posted this upstairs and you might find it interesting and helpful.  
It worked for me!

Cheers!

I finally have mine working but I had to completely uninstall, search and destroy folders left behind, then reinstall.

Thanks for that post....I believe you hit the nail on the head...I would like the Bakers to chime in as to why it's happening on their end

I agree Gaffpro...


I'm curious as to why, when you open a project created in X1 that is isn't automatically "OK".
As I said, I just tried it out of curiosity because I know I had been using my Waves Plugins
perfectly fine in X2.  And my X1 projects that had Waves plugins also would playback just fine.
I never thought to even "insert" anything into X1 projects because they were already complete.
It wasn't until I inserted Vocal Rider into the effects bin to "check it out" that X2 "crashed and burned".

So I decided to save it under a new name, just to preserve the original, close it out, and re-open it, and low and behold...
ALL ISSUES WITH VR went away. 

I find that kind of odd, so there must be some "translation" going on bringing in a project created in 
X1, that doesn't play well with Waves plugins until it has been "ported over" to X2, and then all is well.

@jimusic,

Thank you so much for that info. I will be talking with them soon as my installation is still hit-or-miss.

Works most of the time but sometimes crashes. I really don't think I should need to uninstall, remove folders left behind, and reinstall every time I add a new waves plug...

In my case it does not matter if it was a project created in X1 or a new project with just one audio track created in X2.

This happens on two separate machines both with separate licenses. I really think there was something left behind in the registry from when I was trying to use a usb key on both machines. I'll bet their tech support can get me straightened right up.

I worked with a tech today for over an hour on 2 separate remote connections and the phone, Still not fixed.

He was able to get it working intermittently but was in a hurry and left me with a "Try this for awhile and if you still have problems contact me via email"  All he really did was turn off Windows UAC, update my video drivers, and pull the waveshell file from the cakewalk vst folder and put it in another folder? Actually, I don't see that we really did anything but turn off UAC and I don't really want UAC turned off... It doesn't work any better or worse than it did before I called him.

I emailed back that Waves plugs are still crashing Sonar and they requested I send them screenshots of the crash error msg., the Sonar minidump files, system info report, Sonar build #, etc. The tech is going to consult with the QA team.

So now I have a few hundred dollars in some plugs I can't currently use and no idea when I will get to use them. But I got them on SALE, and it's WAVES, so I still got a really good deal.

Unfortunately, Waves is a one for two type plug for me. I buy one plug but need to buy two licenses... I'm sure I would be more happy if it was working but since it isn't, I needed to vent.

Sorry for the rant.

Just curious if anyone else has to turn off UAC in order for Waves plugs to work.

Kind regards,
Rick

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the data point on running with UAC off. I do always run as administrator but I've always felt that UAC was a last ditch safety net.

Glad to hear you've had no issues and Thanks for the well wishes.

Kind regards,
Rick
