**Waves plugins problem realized, but now this!

UG. I just worked on a mix for a long time, had about 5 tracks with waves plugins. when i went to render, it all just rendered as silence (nothing was muted, master channel was up) I said "hmm let me save and just restart my computer, that fixes stuff sometimes" So I did.

When i started live up again, it said it couldnt load the plugins because it couldnt find them. I checked the plugin prefs and it said it was pointing to the waveshell folder in the custom folder option. Why won't it load? when i try to put a new waves plugin on a different track, it loads up just fine. what the heck.

Thanks for pointing that out. The search function on these forums really suck. I can never find what I'm looking for by searching, so i appreciate the patience. Maybe a tip on using the search function too?

Anyway, now that I've dealt with that reality, I'm trying to rewire Live to protools, so i can mix and do my effects in there. I've rewired reason to protools before, and reason to live before, but now I can't successfully get sound recorded from Live into protools! I have each track in live set to an individual bus. In protools i have many tracks set up, all with the propper bus selected in the input setting 3 slots above the little panning fader. when I just hit play in protools, it plays back the live audio channels through the assigned tracks in protools, no problem. When i go to record, it starts recording, but when i stop recording, i see that no audio has been recorded, just a flat line where the waveform should be. What am I doing wrong!? I searched google for this, and this forum and came back with nothing, so perhaps someone here can see the flaw in my process. Thank you for checking this out

woo. never mind, i got it. i needed to set the bus input on the pt track to the same channel as the regular input down below is on. GOT IT. now, I track.
