 Working well here ....until V9 , waves were excluded (automaticlly by sonar) by the XrayExclude file (with a list of vendors you can choose to exclude plugins from )

The thing is that i decided to autorise now waves to soncider x ray and it's working great ....

Check GPU hardware acceleration and be sure to get certified gpu drivers (i think waves still uses openGL)

Hi!

I've started to use some Waves plugins lately. Kramer Master Tape, HLS, HNS etc...

All plugins have problems in Sonar where pulling knobs and sliders gets stuck and act in weird ways. The plugs themselves works fine audiowise but their GUI works like crap. Any way around this? I've seen that I'm not the only one to experience these problems. When looking at Waves compability-page it says that the plugs work fine. Obviously they aren't 100% compatible with Sonar so I feel a bit cheated actually.

Is there a way to fix this problem? Who is to blame? Cake or Waves? Who's doing it wrong?

/M

I've had funky GUI / Preset Scrolling issues with Soundtoys plugins. I've been told JBridge fixes these issues. I will report back.

Hi; My name is Dave From Waves Tech Support. We are not aware of a general graphic related issue with Sonar X1 and Waves. A common issue our users experience when using Waves on Windows based systems are graphic related. The cause of this is frequently related to incompatible graphic adapters or relatively old drivers. We suggest installing the latest driver for your display adapter. Latest and certified Drivers are available on all manufacturers’ websites. If you still experience issues we would need to look at this case by case. Feel free to contact us by clicking on the “Contact Us” action within your Waves account. Thanks

Hello Dave, Blogman here, I've personally called in repeatedly about this Graphical waves issue. I even did a remote connect via CrossLoop Connect and was able to demonstrate the problem myself as did the waves technician. I'm on a Rain Livebook Studio i7, NVidia GeForce GTS 250M latest updates. Thanks for your help here.

BTW- I installed CrossLoop connect on 5/25/2012 JUST for this Tech support issue. Hope that helps!

Thought I'd update this thread.

I had this exact issue with Waves and resolved it in one go.  I changed my Graphics card from an NVIDIA Geforce 7300 (which also would give me BSOD when I tried its latest Win7 64bit drivers, so had to use older version) to a RADEON HD5450.  €40 and seems to be most popular in DAWS according to SOS.

Now perfect and that was the only changed made.

Hope its useful to someone...
