Hi, this may be a silly question but can you definitely use Waves plugins with Live6? I'm thinking of buying the Native Powerpack. A friend runs Waves Native on ProTools LE but told me he wasn't subsequently able to open the Waves plugins in Live6 - perhaps this is something to do with the ilok ...
