From analogue hardware emulations to one-of-a-kind processors, audio professionals and enthusiasts use hundreds of Waves plugins to shape their mixes. Today, Waves is one of the top plugin manufacturers in the industry. All of these VSTs are located in the following folder hierarchy in the Ableton plugin menu: Waves / WaveShells V9 / WaveShell-VST 9.Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Mixing in the Box using Waves Plugins – Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro () Doubler2 Mono vst, Doubler2 Mono vst/Stereo vst, Doubler2 stereo vst. The problem is that I now see 120 separate VSTs listed inside the Live plugin Wave folder and many appear to be variations of the same plugin eg. I couldn't work out a way to get Live to see the Wave folder so in frustration, I copied the entire Wave folder containing the above mentioned 5 folders from the C: drive and simply pasted it into the Ableton VST folder located on the M: drive.Īll of the VST Wave plugins now appear in Live and as far as I have tested, they all are working correctly including the various preset library settings. Unfortunately, my VST plugin folder for Live is on a separate drive (M: drive) and Live will scan that nominated M: drive folder on startup - not the Wave folder in the C: drive. The Plug-Ins folder contained 35 bundles plus associated documents eg Audio Track bundle, C1 bundle, C4 bundle, DeEsser bundle etc. It contained 5 folders: Applications, Data, Plug-Ins V9, ReWire and Waveshells V9. As it was, the Waves plugin folder automatically installed in the C: drive Program Files (x86) directory. the software downloaded OK but I wasn't given a choice as to where the plugins were finally installed. Installation of the bundle was via the Easy Install and Activate menu on the Waves Central page.

I have a silly question regarding installation of the various components as I don't think they have installed correctly or they may have installed in the wrong place.

Just a quick question for those of you who are using the Waves Gold bundle plugins with Live.
