The only WAVES item you will see in the Digidesign Plug-Ins folder is the WaveShell. The actual WAVES plug-ins are located at /Applications/WAVES/.

My registry asks me to locate Waves 8.0 Plug-Ins folder but I cant find it. Then when I hit cancel it says please re install waveshell-AU and try again.

It's in /Macintosh HD/Applications/WAVES/. If you can't find it there, then it's not installed properly.

Look in /root/library/application support/digidesign/plugins

Should be there.. (root being your main drive)

Does anyone remember which key to hold down when starting Pro Tools that will open the Waves prefs for versions to use? The OP probably failed to specify using RTAS/AS in the prefs.
