Waves plug-ins slow to load

[Will.]

Just installed three waves plugins and they seem to be loading three times longer in this version than in did in the previous version.

Some time ago I had problems with slow loading of Waves plugins and, if I remember correctly, I received a suggestion that for faster PACE should always be running.

I did that and it fixed the lag.

I don't know if that could be it. Perhaps a more updated version of PACE.

They load in less than a second in PT - on windows 10. 

Besides, I dont see how the load speed  can be related to PACE.

there are several plugin bits that need to load as services - such as the Wave Local Server. so, if you don't have those start up with the OS, then you can see a brief delay while they activate, but as noted, once those are services are loaded, the plugin loading is pretty fast. since my DAW uses iLok and Waves, i keep those related services set to automatically start. so my Slate, Waves, and other iLok depedent plugins load quickly.

Sorry, not PACE but ILOK as referred to by Glenn Stanton.

Waves don't use iLok and haven't for quite a few years. They load nearly instantly for me even in Native mode ie when not using my Waves Soundgrid Server.

Simply to say that it’s not a universal problem - rather more likely that it is something to do with your use case.
