can i use wave plugins ? in my plugins option i just see the waveshell, and i cant use no one.
what can i do ?

thanks

Unfortunately, there are problems with getting Waves to work correctly in Live. There have are several threads on the Ableton boards about this and it is still unresolved.

I love the Waves plug-ins but the only reliable way of using them with Live is to Rewire Live into Logic, Nuendo, Cubase etc. and apply the Waves plug-ins within the Rewire master.

Or you can render out your tracks from Live and bring the audio files into a DAW for further processing with Waves. This is what I do.

Try out the excellent freeware "fishfillets" vst plug-ins, as well as the PSP line of plug-ins. They work rock solid with Live.

Hope this helps.

on pc, ffx-4 works fine to get waves and directx into Live, and is free, but is heavy on the cpu, and not recommendable to have many instances going for a live performance.

Hi,

the problems with the waveshell should be solved within the upcoming Live 3. Feel free to test the current public beta: www.ableton.com/beta

sorry for being slightly OT:

i'm using ffx4 to get waves plugins running in live. Curiously this works without problems on my desktop (athlon winXP pro) but when i try the same procedure on my laptop (athlon M winXP home) i get a 'Plug-in error' dialogue when i select a waves plug to drop into the ffx rack. Anyone have any ideas why this might be?
