Okay I give up - where DO you find Waves plugins?
I have been trying for half an hour now going through re-scanning and resetting VSTs but two demo plugins from Waves (Soundshifter and Real-Time Tuner) just refuse to be seen. I have tried manually placing the folder with the .dlls tried auto install tried pretty much everything but they simply refuse to be found.
Any ideas??

you need to have the waveshells scanned not all the plug ins.

I've never had to do anything special to get them to show up. I run the Waves Installer and make sure to point it to my regular VST directory. They just show up automatically in Sonar (well they are automatically scanned/checked when I start Sonar I guess). Are you sure you've run the installer correctly?

yeah ran the installer via the defaults - I do as you do, nothing special...run the installer, do a fresh VST scan an off we go. That worked for a vocals bundle they have on special at the moment and UltraShift but these two refuse to run.
I even tried them in VSTHost which opens pretty much everything (even faulty VSTs) and they didn't open there either. Unfortunately with the way the WAVES thing works now (for demos) I cannot simply uninstall and re-install...I ahve to go through the process of asking them to re-authorise a demo download...maybe I should go for the offline install instead??

They (WAVES) made no mention of that? Can you expand on that? Thanks

Have you moved over to using Waves Central? I used to have the occasional problem getting SONAR to scan the Waveshell correctly but since I've been using Waves Central to install and authorise my plug-ins everything has been pretty much plain sailing. Download it HERE.

Yep, did it all about an hour and a half ago - never used it before so it must be the latest one. I ahve since learned that if the VST2 and VST 3 are there Sonar will not see the plugin. So I just removed all references to the VST2 and ensured the two were moved to the COMMON folder where Sonar supposedly looks for VST3 files, but again they still do nto show up. BTW how DO you insert a VST3 effect? There is no separate drop down box for them?

okay after going back to Waves tech support, they were both re-authorised and THIS time installed correctly. After all that they are not what I am after at all hahaha!
I'm actually looking for a decent "real-time" vocal harmonser plugin!

The waveshell is located under C:\program files\vstplugins. Make sure that is a selected path under VST Scan Paths Under Properties in Sonar
Hit the letter P on your keyboard and look under heading "File", VST Settings. If it's not listed at the top of the screen, click Add and navigate to it and select the VST folder.

I seem to have a lot of trouble with waves being seen also. I re scan a couple of times, remove the folder in "preferences" to scan that has waves in it, then add it back in. Once I think I re scanned my whole C drive.
It can be scary to have a project with a deadline come back up missing tons of plugins. So you buy a plugin and are dying to see how it does, scan for plugins and instead of having a new plugin....you are missing all your wave plugins. Makes for quite the moment.

for other than sonar, i setup the waveshell2vst output vst into a separate directory call "vstwave" so i can scan it separately for ozone and sound forge, and let sonar scan the waveshell in my regular vstplugins folder...

I ahve since learned that if the VST2 and VST 3 are there Sonar will not see the plugin.
Is this something that everyone knows except me? Can you (meaning anyone) elaborate please?

Maybe it depends on the licensing used? I have mine on my USB stick and they're always found.

Sonar has an option to replace VST2 with VST3, so maybe that is what joden is referring to. I have both installed, Sonar sees both. However, on my "custom" plug in menu, I don't display the VST2 versions.

You misunderstood. What the article says is NOT to mix waves VST2 and VST3 versions of their plugins in the same project since it causes crashes.
You can have both VST2 and VST3 installed and SONAR will show only the VST3 if the "hide vst2 plugins..." option is selected.
