Ok...got it to work in X3e....

Had to click Skip on the first time the "No License" message came up
and then it loaded after that...did the same in Cubase...

Something still not right there...

I've had no luck with it and the instructions from Waves are dismal. I hope my Waves install is still good after all this nonsense.

John, I have to say you are correct.  There are virtually NO instructions whatsoever.
I had to dig to find the installer...

I guess they want to see if you want it bad enough...LOL

I loaded several plugins in and the CPU hit seemed to be less then just a plugin by itself...
which seems odd to me...not that it's a bad thing...

Well, we'll see if it's of any benefit...at least the price was right...LOL

Yep, totally trashed my Waves set up for nothing. What a huge pain in the asset. Maybe Bit was right all along.

Well, that was a PITA. 
 
After running the StudioRack installer, I dutifully ran WOLI to upgrade my plugs to v9r19 just as I was told.  What I didn't expect was that it would take the better part of an hour to run the update ... usually it takes less than five minutes. 
 
After that I noticed the same licensing bug in Studio One that Larry reported in X3, but once you click "Skip" it seems to work OK.  Nifty variation of the Sonar FX chain thing, even though I'm not sure how to get other vendors' plugs in there ... the video implies that this might be possible.
 
Anyway, I then opened a project in Harrison Mixbus.  Hey, what happened to all my Waves plugs?  Nowhere to be found, and could no longer find them in the plugin menu.  
 
Re-ran WOLI with the "repair" option (took about ten minutes that time) and Mixbus was back to normal, but I had to recover the project from backup since Mixbus had decided to save the Waveless version of the project for me. 
 
Couldn't find StudioRack in Mixbus, though.  Sure would be nice to have it, since Mixbus doesn't have an FX chain function AFAIK.  But despite several attempts, I never could get it to pass the VST scan -- always got the "Cannot get VST information from blah blah blah" error. 
 
Oh well, at least I'm no worse off now than I was before all this ... but if anyone has managed to get StudioRack to work in Mixbus, please chime in!
 
Cheers,
Eddie
 
 

John,
 
Just reinstall the V 9.2 plugins and all should be well...

I'm sure they're going to get an earful on this....

Think I'll wait a bit longer ;-)

BTW..after I installed all my licenses were gone...
I had to do a recovery, then reinstall.

Ol Pal, that's a good plan...most wouldn't know where to turn...
so everyone be advised....it's a tricky install....

I don't get the hype of Studio Rack. It seems to me all your doing is adding extra CPU usage due to having to run plugins inside a shell. I never liked plugin chains so I don't see the appeal. I think the new Digigrid is cool though.
 
Hope you all get it sorted.

If it werks......
