The waveshell.dll keeps freezing up hen I scan my VST's. Any ideas?

Can anyone pinpoint 3 waves plugins which are ... irreplaceable?

There is a bass exciter that's very cool. I forget what it's called - the Waves users will know what I'm talking about. It's got the word "bass" in it. I didn't commit it to memory because I never thought I'd consider the company's stuff. When it comes to Waves, I've only watched over others' shoulders, but this bass gooderizer stood out. 

You must be talking about MaxxBass. It's a patented low-frequency-harmonics-frobnobicator thingy. Supposed to work really well. Plus, as noted, it has the word "bass" in it, which you can never go wrong with, esp. when usd in conjunction with the non-word "maxx".

Bass Rider is kinda cool if you got a jumpy track. Vocal Rider does the same thing.

Neither of these are stellar on their own but since I got them as part of the fullboat Mercury package I can say they're nice.

Did you move it or any of the other dlls? 


If so, you're not supposed to move anything after install. It make Waves jittery. I know from experience.




My install went flawlessly.

No, I installed the V9 plugins that I wanted, opened X1 and I was getting a message that the waveshellvst.dll is not responding.....


I may try to re-install tomorrow 

BTW if you have the 64 bit versions you may want to exclude the old 32 bit path from the VST scan path to prevent SONAR scanning the 32 bit versions and bitbridging them. IIRC we handle having both the 32 and 64 bit versions in the same path and pick the highest bit depth, but it will definitely save the extra scan time at least.

Man, that Kramer TTT bundle - that's the sound some of my favorite albums on my own songs!!

I shouldn't have demo'ed that one. I almost wish they'd go back to iLock, it's way too hard to resist!

I LOVE the TTT. 
I would have bought my iLok for just that alone.

I suppose one should uninstall all previous versions of their WAVES first and delete all existing waveshell .dll files, no??

I did it to be safe. It installs new 32bit versions as well. And, as Noel says I organize my system so that 64bit SONAR does not see the same plugs I have in 64bit versions. IOW I have a c:/Program Files/vstplugins(x86) folder for plugs that only come in 32bit and point SONAR to that folder for bitbridged plugs. BTW it's getting smaller by the day, YAY!

OK everything in my account is now WUPed all the way out till feb 2014!  Don't know why it's that long...but I ain't complainin.  Naw sir.  Also recieved my thankee kindly from WAVES and a $200 voucher good thru May for up to 50% off any bundle or plug.  Trouble is there's really nothing I ain't already got that I truly want from em.  I guess I could pick up the Eddie Kramer Sig set for $100 as it's on sale now for $200...but I bet I have to use the voucher all at one time.  Them dang WAVES fellers.  They're a crafty bunch.  I guess now I got to get me a new USB flash drive for my V9 licenses.  Any reccomends as to reliability would be helpful.

Go where?  Naw, don't answer that;-)

I hit the limit.

I deleted my mono UAD plugs (who needs 'em?).

All is well.

WACKED??

I installed Gold V9. When I scan for VST plugs un Sonar X1d Producer it gets hung up when it gets to wave shell V9. It seems to be scanning just fine until it get to that dll. I had GTR solo prior to going to V9. I still have GTR solo installed ( I don't see a way to uninstall it in windows 7 )but I get a nag screen that states it's unregistered. I tried to update GTR solo but it's not active in my account.Any help would be appreciated as I'm looking forward to getting to work with V9. Thanks.

When you say GTR is not active in your account what exactly do you mean? Can you not see it...or is it greyed out...what?

Juan,  I put a ticket in with Waves tech support. It may help if you put one in also. I'm willing to bet we're not the only people having this issue. You're welcome to copy/ paste my text if you want to. I'm sure our issues will be resolved soon but it's a  p.i.t.a. in the mean time. Best of Luck.
