Anyone else having repeatable issues with Waves plug-ins crashing Sonar? I know Cakewalk has seen the crash reports, but I have no way of knowing if they've identified what the issue is. Waves says that there could be an instance of 32-Bit WaveShell found by Sonar (a typical cause), but in my case, there are no 32-Bit WaveShell installs.

When Waves updated the Shell from 9.0 to 9.2, and I added the API bundle, Sonar held the version 9.0 hostage to all my sessions, since it was looking for VERY specific plug-in versions (sees 9.0 and 9.2 WaveShell as different plug-ins), so the complete disaster that was the upgrade sought some extra procedures from Waves to clean up - Followed by many, many hours of manual Sonar session recovery has be suspect that there's still something wrong with either one.  All of this because Sonar didn't see the higher version of Waves plug-ins as the same plug-ins. 

Maybe it's how they treat competition...

I've had similar problems when adding new plugins in that I get the "waveshell 9.0 or 9.2" etc. can't be found message when starting Sonar. I recently bought Waves Tune and only installed that from the previous full download (using the computer offline method) and Sonar started loading all the Waves plugs as 32bit instead of 64 and would not save or close Sonar. I finally figured out that I needed to get the latest download from waves because that is the version the license is (I guess that's why) on the flash drive. Once I reinstalled all plugs and everything is working as it should for now. I would try reinstalling everything fresh if you haven't yet and then going to preferences and rescanning all plugs.
