Ableton Live with Waves Plug-ins

Post by mattstan » Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:43 am

I currently use Live with Waves plugins. After I save a set, close live, then go to open it back up, none of my plug-ins are active. I have to manually go through each track, turn them off, then on again for them to work. It gets pretty cumbersome on a set with 50+ tracks to have to go in each track and click all the plugins on and off again.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thnaks!

I too, have a problem with Waves plugins in Ableton 9, but not the same problem as OP. Every time I move a knob or slider using Waves plugins AU, my mouse pointer automatically goes up to the top left of my screen next to the Apple menu icon. It works fine using the VST version, but not Audio Units. Does anyone else experience this? Any fix for this?

OP, I don't mean to hijack your thread, just adding on to the list of bugs using Waves with Live.

Can't help OP sorry, but for other poster: Waves doesn't support AU on Live, only VST

Dazzer - Are you saying that waves plug-ins in Live should be used only in VST format instead of AU for better performance/overall operation?
I ask because I currently use AU on all of my waves plugs in Live, and they all work fine, with the exception of having to turn them on and off every time I open a set.

There's also a page on waves.com which says they don't support AU in Live
