Default Waves plugins GUI freeze

For a while - since last major waves upgrade I think, I've had this occational problem with my waves (Mercury TDM/RTAS) plugs...

When I open a waves plug (like the SSL-G strip) and try to do something like turning a knob - the GUI doesn't show it. The audio does reach, and if I inactivate the plugin, and active it again the change I did is shown...

Odd...

I have a support issue going with Waves on this, and they're not sure what it is...

Anybody seen this?

Boe

Bob,

I experienced this a while ago and after weeks of pulling my hair out, I got lucky and discovered that the behavior was linked to a virtual KVM app that I was using called Teleport. Are you by any chance running that?

Hi Boe,

Sounds like a conflict with another plugin.

Have you tried removing all plugins except the stereo.mixer.dpm and the waveshell. You will also need to trash prefs to clear the plugin cache to truly check this!!

Just wondering whether anyone ever discovered a reason for this? I just moved to PT HD 8 (8.0.5) on the MacPro (10.6.8) and all Waves 8 plugins appear inactive when launched. PT otherwise seems quite happy. The plugins are actually working but the GUI does not respond. I can get a plugin to respond visually by converting to RTAS and back to TDM. Clumsy though!

Waves support doesn't appear to have any idea.

Any updates or thoughts on this would be very welcome.

Lion 10.7.2, PT10HD, Mercury 8.x

Everything still works for me, however, I get red or yellow outlines to knobs and buttons whenever I open a Waves plug on this system.

Strange, but they still work fine.

I've been seeing this for years on my Mercury bundle, currently on HD10. It "probably" means that one of my ilok'd plug ins is out of date, DUY, RND, IK Multimedia SVX ver.1, URS? Maybe some system extension? I dunno.

But while it's annoying I just "Command Control" click the plug off & on and this nearly always 'brings the GUI back to life.' Occasionally makes a pop sound for extra fun. But really, just a small nuisance.

Best :) Walt
