I got the two new EZXs and the SDX.

Which are the two new EZX's Bapu? Thanks

Yes those are the old presets and I remember trying to add them manually before.

I linked to a PDF of the 1400 new presets in my previous post.

If you look at the name of the PDF in my link it is  "V11-presets-automatically-added-to-plugins.pdf" which implies that they should have been added automatically.
As soon as Waves get back to me I will raise it with them.

Add me to that list please!

Or iZotope Nectar 3?

Always forget about that option, Fleer. I never liked Nectar V2 for harmonies but I must give the new version a try now that I have MPS 3.

It gives no options or controls, just removes everything (or claims to, looks like it left a few files behind though).

Usually with Wave's the only way to uninstall one plugin was to either by hand delete things or uninstall everything and then reinstall the things you actually want.  Doesn't look like they have changed that at all.

 

Thanks Matthew. Shame they didn't add a "single uninstall option" 👎🏻 

I managed to get Codex standalone working - the desktop shortcut was pointing to an old version so I updated it to point it v10 and it starts OK now.

@Frank, I also got GTR standalone to work.  I updated the desktop shortcut to point to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Applications V11

then when it opens I pointed it to 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins V11\GTR       - NO JOY don't use this

- it just continues to ask for the plugins folder.

Then I noticed that there were also bundle files in the folder above that one so selected that one and voilà it worked. So the correct folder to point it at is 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins V11

N.B. As you are on V10 you might need to use the v10 equivalent folders.

Is it just me, but I don't think Quadravox sounds very good.   I've tried it on varying sources and the harmonizing algorithm they use does not impress me.   It just strikes me as a quick way to create a harmony, but that quickness comes at the cost of quality.  The best use I could find was to dial back the harmonies so they could be heard very (very!) softly.  I appreciate that they offer it as a freebie, but I can't see a use for it.

Very true and I never use it for creating harmonies, only for creating weird effects. There are much better options for creating harmonies e.g. Harmony Evo or Melodyne.

Thank for your help Matthew. So I am not the only one with this problem.

I cannot uninstall my v10 plugins as I have some of them not upgraded.

Hope Waves will fix this error.

 

Edit: Support Ticket created.

Frank, that sounds like the same issue I have with Codex see above. I have now just tried GTR standalone and that does the same as yours, not that I ever use it any more but that's beside the point. My GTR is actually on v11 as part of my Gold/RenMaxx upgrade.

I raised a support ticket on Wednesday morning (UK time) about the "missing engine" error popup I get when Waveshell5 is scanned and still haven't heard back (it's Friday afternoon here now). I might wait until I hear back and try to cover all of these issues once I have their support person's attention.

Matthew, when you select the uninstall V10 applications option in Waves Central does the next step allow you to choose which applications to uninstall or does it just do all of them? Thanks 

Thanks for your help Matthew!

One thing I noticed with Codex (which is v10 for me) is that it asks for the sample folder when running standalone and no matter what I point it to it just keeps asking for the folder. However, if I run it in CbB then it works fine and finds the sample folder! I guess there will be a few bug fixes in the works.

I guess there's an overhead in each file when they are downloaded separately. 

Apart from the download file which was a single 1.1Gb download for me I was referring to the installed file size in the vstplugins/Soundtoys folder. 

Updated with screenshot.

Nice one, thanks Larry!

Egad! These installers are HUGE!  My 9 plugins are over 2GB!! 

Not sure what you mean Mibby?  I have the full SoundToys bundle and it weighed in at 650Mb before the 5.3.1 update and 766Mb afterwards. The update file is 1.1Gb.

Does anyone know how to get the new presets?

For the plugins I own which are now on v11 I checked against the Waves list of new presets and I don't see any of them in my presets.

e.g. for Trueverb the Waves website lists

 ⁃ TrueVerb Andrew Thornton Collection.xps
⁃ TrueVerb Dave Darlington Collection.xps
⁃ TrueVerb Leon Rothenberg Distant On Ocean.xps
⁃ TrueVerb Stanley Soares Live Vocal Plate.xps

Electric Grand 80 Piano come with Gold.  When you upgraded it WUPed your Gold and so you got the full current version of Gold, which (if yours was older) would add the Electric Grand 80 (and most likely a few other things).

You can go through the release notes to see what was added to Gold in the past

https://www.waves.com/downloads/release-notes#v10

 

Makes sense, thanks Matthew. 

Weird but since updating with Gold/RenMaxx I now seem to have a license for Electric Grand 80. I already own Grand Rhapsody, Element and Codex so maybe some kind of freebie addon because of those?

Don't forget that the 31OFF Halloween Code works on that price
(if that doesn't already include it)

It didn't include the Halloween code which worked fine to bring it down to around 29 USD, thanks Larry 👍🏻

I just checked my Waves account and to renew my WUP would cost $240, so that's not going to happen. 

However, there's an option to upgrade Gold to Gold + RenMaxx for $42.  I am assuming that this will renew the WUP for all of my Gold products as well as adding the Renaissance plugins that are missing from Gold.

That's tempting but I always check Everyplugin and they don't seem to list Gold + RenMaxx so maybe it's only available through Waves direct. Anyway, I will email Koby to check.

Thanks Fleer!

2Gb of samples. Sounds great for a freebie. 👻

Thanks Larry!

Only a 55Mb download and certainly sounds very spooky 👻 Will add it to my Halloween track for sure.
Certain notes almost sound like a human scream 😱

Based on all of the above plaudits I am trying the demo and liking it alot!

Insert here --> DAW User's Mantra

Same here Grem. 

I used to get the same issue as Wibbles and Paulo but it was fixed for me many versions ago.
I guess it's a tricky one to fix for every scenario.

I like the new Waves Central. That's about all I can say as my Gold products are v9 with no WUP left so I am not able to upgrade the GUI of R products.

I have 30 Waves products out of which 9 are version 9 (including Gold), and the remainder version 10 with only 4 of those upgradeable to v11.

I did the upgrades so I now have 9 which are v9, 17 are v10 and 4 are v11. I also cleared the cache (2.5 Gb recovered) and ran the version organiser.

All my Waves plugins (v9, 10 and 11) still work fine after this. 

The only issue I have is when Waveshell5 is scanned I get a "missing licence engine" popup. I press "skip" and the scan completes fine.
I have a support ticket with Waves for this.

Should be a good Christmas gift for my daughter! Cheers Larry 

I just visited their website to check that I was on the latest version of Vocalign Project (I wasn't - there's a new VST3 ARA2 version 3.6.0.5).

It then popped up a message stating that if I subscribe to their newsletter I will receive a Free Groove3 30 Days All Access Pass.

Sure enough I just received the code by email almost immediately and added it to my Groove3 account.
I got the 1 Year Groove3 deal recently with iZotope MPS3 upgrade so this just extended the end date by 30 days.

I've just been playing with it and it is absolutely fantastic. As good as nearly everybody says and musically inspiring. For $70 with 30 jampoints it is a complete no-brainer.

Agree with everything you say! Wait 'til you try the slide bass. One of the best sounding slides in a bass plugin imho. Used it in a track recently. There's actually two ways of doing it but I just used the pitch wheel method.

I’m thinking SPL Twin Tube this time. 

Looks nice Fleer.

I'm tempted by their EQ Ranger Plus; could be a time saver.

Good deal on MODO Bass which is my goto Bass plugin.

A similar deal on MODO Drums and I'd be all over it.
