Default Where are my plugins [solved]

Sorry guys I think this is DOH! question.

I've just downloaded 3 waves bundles, activated them etc. However they don't show up in my plug ins list.

I downloaded them to the same drive as PT12 and used the default folder suggested by waves.

What have I done wrong and how do I put it right.

If you contact Waves, they will quickly be able to identify your specific problem.

Their customer service is great and they are fast. It will likely be faster than having to explain your situation on here.

Did you download the correct version?
Some for older systems and some for new systems.

Hi Albee

Sorry, the download hadn't placed them in the correct plugin folder. Looking through the various folder structures of Avid within windows it not really surprising as there are many plugin folders in lots of different location.

Correct path: C:\Program Files(x86)\common Files\Avid\Audio\Plugins

Waves tech support were very prompt and very helpful.

That's the path for 32 bit AAX.

The path for 64 bit AAX is C:\Program Files\common Files\Avid\Audio\Plugins\

For your waves plugins show up, the "WaveShell-AAX 9.3.aaxplugin" needs to be in there (and "WaveShell-AAX 9.7.aaxplugin" if you use StudioRack)
