> Installing Waves on Venue Consoles
I am starting to see a lot more Digidesign consoles this year as we perform across the US on fly dates. I own Mercury TDM with the Studio Classics Collection in my studio and would love to use some of the plugins for live sound. I have some questions people on this forum may easily know the answers to:
1. Is the Mercury TDM w/ SCC ilok licenses valid for use on the Digidesign Venue Console, once the $35 Waves DShow enabler has been purchased? 2. Is it legit to install the Waves plugin bundle on each Digidesign console I come across in my travels? 3. How big a deal is it for me to install the plugin bundle on each console? Is there a simple method, where I can just put the appropriate files in place in the right folders, and remove the files when I am done (so they do not cause problems for the next user once my iLok is gone)? or must I run a specific installer/deinstaller for the Digidesign Venue Consoles? Any comments to the above and your general insights on how to make this practical with tight time-lines would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think you can install the plugins whenever and wherever you want as long as the sound co is fine. The authorizations on your iLok are what matter most in terms of legitimacy. Waves V7 can be directly installed from the Plugins tab on the Options page. In playing around, though, it can take a while for the plug-in rack to initialize following installation, but other than that it was pretty painless for me. I keep a USB drive with me that has all my plugin installers and I customized the Waves install a bit for the stuff I've been trying out so I don't install every single plugin they have for the Venue.

Re: > Installing Waves on Venue Consoles
Further on your questions:
Is your studio "Mercury TDM with the Studio Classics Collection" -WIN TDM or MAC TDM? I thought only WIN TDM would work on Venue. I'd love to be able to go back and forth from MAC based PT TDM to VENUE. Possible? Also, is it at all possible for FOH and Monitors on same Venue stage rack to share iLOk or plug-ins? I assume we would have to purchase 2 separate Waves bundles. ??? |

Re: > Installing Waves on Venue Consoles
I havent personally run V9 on Venue yet, but it should be pretty straight froward I believe, you transfer your licenses using Waves License Center to an USB stick and then when connecting that stick to the console they will run, much like using an Ilok. Couple of basic guestions to check:
Did the USB stick actually got the licenses? Can you run the plugins on a computer with this USB stick? If so, is the stick FAT32? Did you install from Venue installer or perhaps Waves installer for Windows? |
