We had to do a deep cleaning of our Windows 10. As a result, many doubled files had to be deleted. So we had to reinstall new DAW's and VST's, and even Printing drivers... uhg. Sorry for the dramatics... Anyhow, we are unable to find our WAVES

RE: How to Change Hand to Cursor

Hi, Yes I have the red line and I can move it to mark and cut. I don't have the grey bar, so I have to scroll the wave file back and forth sometimes to find the red line. Thank you.

I am applying a plug-in chain, and the first 60 seconds of the file become blank (no signal) and then the signal picks up after. I've never had this issue before. Plugins involved are REQ 6 (Waves), LA-2A Silver comp (UA), Capitol Chambers (UA),

RE: Purchased a New Waves Plugin now no Waves Plugins Work in Acid 11

@Eric-Penington Yeah, for some reason, Waves seem to not correctly adhere to the VST standard, so they only guarantee that their plugins can be loaded in the programs listed on their website. There might be a somewhat hacky workaround. For this,

RE: WAVES VST Plug-in inssue

@raquii Inside the Acid program folder there are multiple audio_plugin_scan_server exe files. These are responsible for the plugin scan. Acid hasn't been updated for many years so there are compatibility issues with newer plugins. Some users found

How to Change Hand to Cursor

Sorry for being a complete idiot. I have Music Maker 26 and haven’t had a new version in 20 years. All I’m trying to do is a simple cut out of blank space and noise in a recorded wav file. After I load the wave I only get the hand which allows me to
