Default Waves as DSP plugins on Ultimate 2018.04 HDX

Hi,

We just upgraded from HD to HDX running PT ultimate 2018.04.
We are trying to undestrand, suddenly after the upgrade we cannot run Waves AAX plugins as DSP plugins, they are available only as native plugins...?
And, we cannot add native plugins during record enabled, only after inserting a DSP plugin in the chain.. why is that?

Thanks in advance

Waves never made AAX DSP plug-ins.

Did you upgrade from a TDM system?

Yes we had the Pro Tools HD with Avid HD io's..

Is there a way to insert native plugins on a track while being on record mode? It bypassed .

It was that way with TDM as well. Trying to use native in record mode automatically goes into bypass. Like you mentioned, using a DSP plugin first 'fixes' that.....

You can run Waves plugins as AAX DSP if you have a DigiGrid DLS. It uses an AAX DSP shell plugin to talk to the SoundGrid server that is actually running the plugin.

So what is the point if you can insert native plugin , but only after inserting a DSP plug?

It was a horrible thing when Waves didn't support AAX-DSP. I have moved on from waves products for that reason. I do use maybe 2 or 3 of their plugins still but for the most part i don't use most of what i own.

These are really good guys that do support AAX-DSP plugins. not all of their plugins are AAX-DSP but the channel strips, eq's and comps are for sure.

these guys are awesome as well. I believe almost 100% of their lineup is AAX-DSP. Great prices too, couldn't say that about Waves TDM.

I had an HD system with Waves TDM plugins and Waves stated publicly that they would write for AAX-DSP. So I upgraded to HDX only to find that Waves changed their minds.

I too have now moved on from Waves. Honestly, I'm still angry about it. I'm never giving them money for their own DSP. Never.

BTW- I invested in a lot of SoftTube plugins because of their AAX-DSP support and they have also recently announced that they will not be doing any more AAX-DSP, so I'm phasing them out as well.

McDSP, Sonnox, Metric Halo, PluginAlliance, SKNote all make great plugins.
