  Finally figured out the problem. After installing and uninstalling several legacy versions, it turned out version 13 of the Waves plugins included the vst 3s and the others didn't for some reason. Everything is working as usual finally! Stinkin

  Thanks! Now I'm not entirely sure it's ACID 11 that's the issue. I opened Reaper and couldn't find any of the Waves plugins. I contacted Waves too so I'll try to figure this out. I'm not great at tech stuff at all and I'm not sure if I can revert

  SF Pro 14 is erroneously looking for ARA Waves plug-ins
  I use SF Pro 14 with Waves VST (v15) plug-ins. For some reason, SFP14 is now showing Waves ARA plug-ins under FX Favorites>Waves. Of course, since I have VST the plug-ins, selecting the ARA entries results in an error. I can't seem to fix this. I

  I have a request in to Waves about this, also a query on the BorisFX forum, but I thought I'd check here as well to see if anyone has any ideas on this issue. I've been using SFP 18 b21 since Oct 2025. I use Waves v16 plug-ins with the program.

  RE: Waves L3 Multi- & Ultramaximizer V16 can't be added, but visible
  @NickHarvey My guess is, that Acid 11 is simply incompatible. It wasn't updated for years and Waves plugins have the odd peculiarity that they are only officially compatible with DAWs listed on the Waves website. They can work with other DAWs, but

  RE: Waves 15 Plugins not seen in Pro 11 Suite latest build
  Ok. In all seriousness. Rolling back to a previous version is not a solution. This is Acid's latest release and Waves VST is the ONLY problem. The latest Waves update has a larger number of new plugins and Waves programming is not the problem. Other

  Indeed, Waves doesn't support SF any longer. They used to, but no longer. That said, they did provide some things to try. But nothing worked. I did send a message to Magix support, but have yet to hear back from a real person. Only an AI bot with a
