My recommended plugin companies to forever replace Waves and other high priced and dongled companies: And I personally refuse to deal with dongles of any sort again. I have never understood the huge price on Waves stuff compared to other good plugins. But I have tested so many good plugins and have found that there are some very serious, high quality, yet affordable plugins out there. So my summary: stay away from Waves plugins.Įveryone has a valid opinion, of course. I know that Reaper is not in the list of supported DAWs, but I really didn't expect those problems, because Reaper is not the biggest player on the market so it happens quite often that you can't find it on any compatibility lists. Holy shit, are those Waves plugins worth all the effort and trouble and grey hairs? Most likely NO. But I'm not sure if there is something running in the background. I repeated all the steps I mentioned above with the same crappy result.īUT THEN, I don't know when and why, suddenly all Waves plugins appeared and I can load and use them, without using any obscure Waves shell. Then I also downloaded Waves V7, knowing that both versions can run concurrently on the same system. I repeated all the steps a few times, but no luck whatsoever. Okay, I loaded it, clicked on a drop-down menu and thought that I can select any of my Wave plugins now, but the drop down list was empty. After a few attempts there was a waveshell v8 plugin in Reapers plugin list. I started Reaper again, but no Waves plugins found. Okay, I did that, started the scanning process once more and Reaper crashed.

Somewhere on the Reaper forum I read that I should disable a feature that enables Reaper to recognize the name of any scanned VST and that I should use the 32 bit Release of Reaper.

After installing the plugins using Waves V8r6, Reaper 64 bit was not able to find the plugs. Downloading the plugins and register them using the iLok license system was no problem, even with Firefox4 (on the iLok website you can read that they work on FF4 compatibility, in fact the Internet Explorer 8 didn't work at all because the website can't recognize my iLok with this browser). I just want to share some experiences I recently made with Waves plugins.
