If you don't have WUP, I'd say any change has a risk factor. I personally did the uninstall for all WAVES shells (in the command center application) and got rid of everything not v14 as I found I was willing to get rid of all waves plugins other than ClarityVx. The others were simply a liablity and time waster on scans. But I only took that risk knowing that CalarityVx was under support coverage and if the others stopped working I wouldn't flip out or even consider buying WUP to resolve it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point I got rid of everything except the Waveshells 12, 13, & 14, and all is well. It looks like right now my Waves plugins are all either 12 or 14, so I probably could delete 13.

Don’t get wuped out of. getting a great plug-in free. I just watched this used by one of the major pros last night. This and pie are not replaceable by any plugins that sound similar. How do you reckon? I will probably figure it out once I install it. Do the NLS Non-Linear Summer work as a saturation plugin too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip the noise switch to low Turn up the mids+1 or more Set send to this bus - It will move a track to the front. It is great on things like drums,lead vocals, and any guitar solo ithat you want to jump out front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumbquestions Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) 16 hours ago, husker said: What did you do, just delete the files? (Mac/Logic guy here) FWIW I’m still running version 11 plugins bc of WUP, and waves central sometimes adds in extra versions (that I don’t need) of a plugin when I install a new one. i routinely clear out waveshell versions I don’t use from my components, vst & vst3 folders by deleting them straight from their respective folders (or drag them to the trash, whatever is easier). For example the V10 & v14 waveshells sometimes get installed and I’ll just delete those but leave the v11 shells. Works fine for me. I also keep my vst folders completely cleared out of all unintentionally installed plugins to save space since I don’t need any of those. No issues here running my v11’s doing it this way Edited January 31, 2023 by dumbquestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mac handles this much differently than Windows. Using vendor supplied maintenance and uninstall utilities is still the best practice for Windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hardcore Mac heads hang out here in the Deals forum, so all are welcome! I don't personally use a Mac, but other than it's too pricey for me and cannot run Cakewalk, it has some advantages, as you pointed out. I set one up for my Dad, and have a few friends that are graphic artists that use Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve admittedly been lurking this forum just for the deals & freebies the last few months and it’s become my favorite one over kvr, vi control, bpb, rekkerd, etc. so thank you all for the consistent contributions. i figured it was time to join the conversation lol, albeit a mac user I’m by no means here to hold it as a higher standard since windows has plenty of its own great advantages, cakewalk being one of them! I only have a macbook as it was the required hardware for school/work. All that said, Waves still just as frustrating no matter the hardware/OS ? Though i am grateful for these little youtube influencer freebies every now and then Edited February 1, 2023 by dumbquestions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Waveshell thingy and the WUP woop drives a lot of folks crazy! Some good plugins, but those shells are a real drag on plugin scanners! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
