Waves V10 compatibility?

If that's the deal then no more Waves plugins for me.

Same here!

I would ask Waves themselves, you may be able to get v9 installers for their plug-ins.

$300.00 Canadian for us up here. Making me think a bit.

It's covered in their V10 FAQ. New plug-ins will be V10 with V9 installers of those that exist. V10 and V9 can run together as long as you don't have two versions of the same plug-in. V10 license covers V9 plug-ins as well in case you have to run v9 for Legacy OS reasons.

Seriously. Luckily I was covered under WUP.

BTW:

I've had V10 installed for a day now, running many sessions. No issues.

Waves 10 is running fine here, though it seems like the built-in undo button that all Waves plugins have at the top left is no longer active if you load a preset via the standard Pro Tools plugin menu (vs doing directly from within the Waves plugin menu). I think in v9, I could load a preset from the PT plugin menu and then click the Waves undo button to back out of it, but maybe I'm just mis-remembering that. The undo button still works if you make edits or load presets directly via the Waves plugin menu.

The installation was a bit confusing since I allowed it to uninstall the v9 plugs and couldn't figure out why it hadn't installed the v10 ones yet. When I reopened a session it complained that all of the Waves plugins were missing. It turned out that in addition to updating Waves Central, there is a separate step where you must go to their website and click a button to upgrade to v10. After this, you must go back to Waves Central and redownload and reinstall everything. Horizon and Mercury now include a CP-80 electric piano plugin, so the download may take awhile to grab the sample library, especially if you pick the HD versions.

Once it was all done, everything has been working fine. Of course, I couldn't tell you one thing that looks improved, so it's hard to recommend upgrading unless you have a WUP that is going to expire soon.

You can still get a full Installer of V9 but you have to cipher through all the plugins just to install the ones you have purchased, also you can no longer create an offline installer with Waves Central of only the plugins you own. You can only do that with V10 now. Waves Central will no longer give you any V9 plugins. You have to login to Waves.Com to download the V9 full Installer. The buck stops here! I'm no longer a heavy Waves user so I will not be Wuping. I haven't been for about for about 10 years now. I mostly use UAD and Softube.

Now when I open an existing Protools session (2018.4 on Windows), Protools gives me an error that says several of my Waves plugins including Q10 and C4 are not compatible with the session sample rate. And then Protools crashes. After I uninstalled all of my Waves plugins, and ran Protools again, it worked fine, except that now I don'w have any of my Waves plugins available.

I've downloaded the offline installer for V9 and am trying to reinstall them now, but it appears that I have to install each plugin individually. I have the Horizion bundle, along with Restoration, and about a dozen other individual plugins. Not happy at all.

Yikes. What sample rate is the project at?
