Waves V14 - Has anyone actually installed on Mojave?

[Bob L]

I read that there are some issues with V14 even on the "supported" macOSs. I also understand the Waves has not / will not test V14 on Mojave, and thus is "unsupported".

But "unsupported" does not = "won't work".

Has anyone on Mojave has been brave enough to try it? Any "gotcha's"? Not looking for opinions, looking for installed experience(s).

I'm currently on V13, have most eligible for upgrade, but I'm not in a position to be the canary in this coal mine at the moment.

My main rig is a 4,1 > 5,1 Cheesegrater on 10.14.6, Metal-capable GPU; PT 2021.12 (currently off Update and Support), 003R.

TIA for any help.

Nope. I'm waiting as well. I was a little more concerned that the original Xenon processors (as opposed to the Xenon-Ws in the 2019 Mac Pros) were dropped from the supported list. I'd really like to be able to use those new "Mix" control on the compressor tho. I had stopped using Waves dynamics because they didn't offer that. Still paying for the ******* WUP, tho.

Ditto. Waiting for Mojave 5,1 uses to pipe in on this update!

Canary in the coal mine reporting...

It's been a big day for me. Thanks to the indispensable Jeffro, my Reinstatement finally took.

I'm now co-installed with only half a dozen or so PT versions (I trimmed it down from 15!!!).

Emboldened by my success (thanks again, Jeffro!), I dipped a toe in V14 by trying only the CLA Compressors. Nothing puked. I ran PTS 2022.6 without incident. Further emboldenated, I went for it. I clicked all of My Waves plugs in Waves Central, crossed my fingers and installed. I don't have every plug they make, but I have quite a few.

I ran 2022.6 on the last two sessions on which I've been working. They are not littered with Waves comps, but all of the CLA comps, SSL Bus channel, Brauer Motion, Parallel Particles, Abbey Road Chambers and ADT are represented. I played both songs, looped, three times through with the "Hide Errors" selection off. Buffer at 1028, Cache on. No issues noted beyond a 6101 on the initial play, which is normal here.

I loaded both songs in 2021.12, looped as above without any issues beyond the initial halt; I think this one was a 9173. Again normal here.

Note that Ren Collection does not have a V14.

Truly emboldafied after all this, I briefly opened Studio One Pro 5.5.2. I haven't gotten cozy with it yet, so only some random "Test" things to try. Nothing died, but this is in no way conclusive.

My assessment is that despite all of the Waves "Are sure you want to shoot off your foot" warnings, all of the few plugs I tested seem to work. At least the install did not bring the machine down in flames. My fingers remain crossed.

Again, my rig is a 4,1 > 5,1 Cheesegrater, dual 3.33 6 core Xeons, 32 GB, Nvidia 960(?) GPU, Sammy 970 (?) 1 TB program drive on a sled, Seagate HDDs for sessions, etc.

Carry on.

Any issues now?



I am contemplating the same scenario w V14 Waves, Mojave 10.14.6, PT HDX 2022.9 upgrade w/ 4.1->5,1 Cheesegrater 2.93 ghz 12 core


Currently running PT 2021.6 with High Sierra (10.13.6)

That all works for me. Same machine. I went with a higher CPU and have HD-Native, but I imagine it won’t matter much.

I am running all V14 Waves plugins (including Mercury) on Mojave 10.14.6 on 2012 Mac cheesegrater without issues.

So far, so good.
