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

Hi @Frederick-Hicklin, are you downloading the MP3 to your PC and then opening the file in Sound Forge? Does the same behavior happen with PCM (wave) files?You could try enabling 'Always proxy compressed formats'. in the "Options> Preferences>

RE: Waves L3 Multi- & Ultramaximizer V16 can't be added, but visible

@NickHarvey That seems a bit odd. I thought ACID 9 supported VST3 plugins, and WaveShell 16 is only available as a VST3 - 64 bit plugin I understand (this loads all the Waves plugins in v16). I only have WaveShell1-VST3 16.0_x64.vst3 in the

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: SF Pro 14 is erroneously looking for ARA Waves plug-ins

@joe-patti Waves will probably answer you that they don't support Sound Forge. They have a list of supported software on their website. I think it's caused by a problem with the way Sound Forge handled ARA plugins in the past. I've tested the Sound

RE: MP3 conversion glitches

This leads me to believe it has something to do with the PCM (wave) files since glitching occurs outside of SF. Are both of your PCs using the same Tascam interface?Did you say the issue occurs only when encoding @ 192 kps?
