Waves 6.0 Plug-ins and CD Architect 5.2d

I can't get Waves 6 VST plug-ins to show up in CD Architect 5.2d. I own Sound Forge 8. Is anybody else having that combination working together?

I would post this in the Sony Forums, but those forums are never visited and I heard that Waves forum is finished and taken down. I know lots of people here use CD Architect. Please help.

I thought CD Architect only supported DX plugins.

Nope DX only

-D

Just came here to post the same info Don.
I only use CDA to burn so I never even tried to use any plugs in it.

Wow! Sooo frustrating. Here is the perfect example of a business throwing money out the window. CD Architect is well known throughout the industry as one of the best CD red book burning software applications on the planet. They have a strong niche with CD-A. I own Sound Forge 8, but I never use it because DAW's now do everything that I ever wanted Sound Forge to do, and does it better in many instances. I figure less and less people will be reaching for applications like Sound Forge as DAW's continue to include those types of tools as standard. But DAW's have yet to touch CD authoring in the way that CD-A has. When I am on Pro Tools forums, there are many posts asking, "what is the Mac type CD-A type application." And the only decent ones that seem to exist are $500 or more dollars. Many people that are Mac users, keep their PC only so that they can use CD-A. In my opinion, if Sony had their head on straight, they would really focus on dominating the market with CD-A and treat this application as Gold. It would have been the first to have VST support, new features, a version on the Mac and etc. It just seems that Sony has no idea how great CD-A is. If they continue as they are, it won't be long until another software solution comes along and steals away their niche in this area.

---I think CD-Architect is their most professional application in the industry. What a pity that they treat it like an afterthought. ....okay...done with my rant.


In any case, I can't get these plug-ins to show up in Soundforge 8 either. Soundforge 8 is suppose to have VST support.

Also, they lost out by dropping the price of CD arch too, I think, as I remember originally I paid around $350 for it years back.


But I agree, why the plug in needs at all? Oddly enough I use the Sony stuff in Cake, but not the other way around.

Is Toast anygood on the Mac. I always thought that was the better Mac version.

And lastly, I agree, like Photoshop, there isn't anything that even competes with it. People that use something else don't either need the features, or don't know what they don't know!

Toast is the biggest joke of anything I have ever seen. Nothing even close to CD Architect. I bought it because some of the high end studios around town were using it. It is just a tad better than iTunes. But man, Toast 9 is on my list as the all time buggiest software I have ever owned (and I have owned my fair share of buggy software). 2 out of the 7 features I tried with it even worked. One of those two being able to burn a CD. Toast 10 is suppose to be even worse.

The main reason why I like to use plug-ins in CD-A is so that I can do my final limiting there. I like to use gentle limiting from my mastering process and leave the final limiting to CD-A so that I don't limit a track and then have to bring the volume down. I also find that some tracks usually need a little more limiting to match levels and etc. It is also nice to be able to add some EQ when you hear how the tracks sound side by side.

CD Architect is so good, that if they made it compatible for the Mac and added VST, I would gladly pay $350 for it.
