Hello, i registered and activated the Waves Kramer Master Tape MPX, but it is not showing up in Sonar's fx list. I rescanned the folders, but still don't see it. Is anybody familiar with Waves Version9 plugin installs? Thanks.

Waves defaults to Program Files/Steinberg/Vstplugins... or....  Program Files(x86)/Steinberg/Vstplugin    So..  You may have accidentally installed them in there, while I am quite sure your Vstplugins folder is most likely Program Files/Cakewalk/Vstplugins...

I suggest:  Searching your hard disk, for Vstplugin folders you might not realize you have, and confirming Sonar is aware of all possible Vstplugin folders.

Cheers

Hi M@B,

I'm also having the same issue with some Waves plugs. I finally got one of them to show up in Sonar but am still having issues with others.

I sent in a support request but probably won't hear back until Monday. I'm just guessing but there may be a problem with the installers downloading correctly due to the high traffic. I couldn't even log in to my account or the license server tonight.

Kind regards,
Rick

Hopefully things will slow down and the issues will clear themselves up.

Thanks Linear Phase. Still getting the hang of the plugin folder/.dll housekeeping thing. Found it in C:/prog files (x86)/waves/ plugins. Added that to the scan list and it's there now. Thanks again.

I ran into problems with my black Friday purchases. I had a corrupted download that wouldn't install anything but indicated it had.

I deleted everything from the machine and ran the V9 downloader again. This time everything worked and the plugs were installed. I ran the plug in manager from sonar and re-scanned, but the waves plugs wouldn't show up. I find that in X2 I have to scan my plug ins and then exit sonar completely. When I returned to sonar the waves plugs were now viewable in the browser. I ran into the same issue with plug ins from two other companies so I think it may be a bug in the way new plug ins are handled. Seems to need a restart to register them.

The waves site was scrambled last night and I suspect people were pulling all nighters to keep up. I got a response from tech support at 7:30 this morning. Pretty good service in my opinion.

Hi rtucker55, sorry for late reply, we both posted at the same time last night. i didnt know you posted. Yeah, Waves' website traffic was making things difficult all day. -- Ampfixer, I did similar things as you did, reinstall Version9 and restarts, but i think my issue was caused by incorrect path for plugin scan. Strange thing is, i had another Waves bundle in the same folder that had been working for months, so apparently that folder was being scanned. So, i dont kno for sure. Like i said above, still getting the hang of this .dll housekeeping. I know i have stuff scattered around and not efficiently kept, but don't want to create a mess trying to clean it up. Have left well enough alone. Learn a little more each time i install a new plug, which isn't very often.

I was able to get mine to show up thanks to this thread, thanks guys. I added x86 folder to my vst list and bam. However, I'm having trouble getting the sidechain to work. I set up a seperate bus for the music but can't find the sidechain input on the Vocal Rider.

 However, I'm having trouble getting the sidechain to work. I set up a seperate bus for the music but can't find the sidechain input on the Vocal Rider. 

Right, set up a new bus, and route a send from a track, to the input on the rider...    Have you tried the next step?   I don't have the V Rider, here is an image with the Sonitus Comp




If its not as simple as that, you have some error, or troubleshooting that must be done with the manual...

VR needs vst3 for that to work.
You can use write automation though.

Thanks for the suggestion Linear. I tried that but the side chain from the vocal rider doesn't show up as an option. The compressor sidechain does. Strange.
