Waves Plugins Vst 64 Bits

A few of these improvements are:

Vst
  • Improved performance and lighter on the CPU. It only applies processing when there is an audio signal present, freeing up resources
  • 64-bit processing.
  • The ability to create audio input busses to VST3 instruments. Audio signals can be routed to an VST3 instruments, unlike with the previous technology.
  • They can be surround-capable with true multi-channel processing, unlike the previous VST technology.
  • These plugins allow users to deactivate and reactivate busses.
  • VST3 has more capabilities than standard MIDI events. This is going to open the doors to some great new advances in plugin technology.
  • Multiple midi inputs. VST3 can allow multiple midi inputs, while VST 1.x & 2.x are limited to one.

First, What is VST?

V12 plugins require a graphics card that supports 'Metal' Windows: CPU: Intel Core i5 / i7 / i9 / Xeon / AMD Quad-Core: Memory: 8 GB RAM 8 GB free disk space on the system drive: Operating System: Windows 10 64 bit: Screen Resolution: Minimum: 1024x768 Recommended: 1280x1024 / 1600x1024: Supported Hosts: Note: TDM is no longer supported. Noizefield – Warrior – Free Wavetable VST Synth If you’re looking for a free synthesizer with specific sounds for Dubstep, Drum n Bass, Hardstyle, Rawstyle, Techno, Industrial then Warrior will be the right.

VST stands for “Virtual Studio Technology,” a technology for virtual instruments and plugins that Steinberg developed in 1996. It is an open-source technology that powers many of the plugins and instruments developed by major companies such as Arturia, Waves, and T-Racks.

ProTools has its own AAX plugins, but you can check whether your version will be able to support VST plugins by visiting this page.

Improved Performance and Lighter on the CPU

The biggest advance with VST3 is that it only applies processing if there is an audio signal present. This reduces that weight on the computer’s CPU, allowing greatly increased performance.

Let’s say that you have an acoustic guitar that comes in 1 minute and 30 seconds into the song. You’ve applied an eq, a compressor, and some light reverb to that channel. With VST, your computer would process the channel throughout the entire song. With VST3, it would only process it while the instrument is playing.

It also allows for 64-bit processing.

Route Audio Through VST3 Instruments

This is really cool. With VST3, you can route actual audio through your instruments, not just midi signals. Given the range of possibilities with the human voice, this opens up limitless possibilities now that actual audio can be processed by virtual instruments.

VST3 Plugins Are Surround-Capable

This is going to make life easier for sound engineers that often have to switch between 2.0 stereo and 5.1 surround sound, i.e. people that work in movies and television.

It Has Much Higher Capabilities for Event Handling

Steinberg explains:

VST3 has a dedicated interface for event handling that carries a much wider range of functionality than standard MIDI events would be able to provide. This opens up a big range of opportunities for musical use cases with very high potential for innovative product design. For example with VST3 some controller events (for example, pitch) can be referred to a note event (using a note unique ID). This offers the possibility to e.g. modulate only a single note which itself is part of a chord.

VST3 Allows For Multiple Midi Inputs

This should really open up the floodgates when it comes to the sounds that you can get out of this new generation of plugins.

I had a 15 hour struggle in the studio recently. All my Cubase 7 (64 Bit) projects refused to load without crashing. Even projects that I was working on the very day before.

I re-installed, searched, cleaned, refreshed preferences, you name it, I tried it…

15 hours later I was still unable to load any of my projects without Cubase disappearing into the dark depths where all dead project go.

The next morning I woke up and with a fresh head, found myself a cure within 30 minutes (based on the research I had done the day before). So I thought this would be worth sharing, as during my search I found many folks with similar trouble and no solution.

The first step was realising that if I removed the Waves plugins from my system the problem went away.

Symptoms:

  • Windows 64 Bit System
  • 64 Bit DAW Host
  • Usually Windows 8 but can be Windows 7 – Must be 64 Bit
  • Cubase crashes when loading a project that contains ANY Waves plugins
  • Cubase crashes when inserting ANY Waves plugin into a fresh project
  • I am using Cubase here but it could be any 64 Bit DAW host application

I found a post related to a different issue that suggested renaming the WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64 file. This file is found here and this put me on the right path:

C:Program FilesCommon FilesVST3

I renamed the file to WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64_BLAH.vst3

Wow! Success!

All my projects loaded again… But it is not over yet.

Waveshell crashes again and now the projects will not load again even with the renamed file, unless it was renamed yet again. Renaming it back to the original WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64.vst3 still causes crashes… What is going on?

I had already done a clean install of all related applications, Waves, Cubase etc., And also cleaned registry of everything that mentioned Waves before re-installing…

Finally I decided to search the registry for WaveShell-VST3… Low and behold the solution – A very odd registry key gets added if the Waveshell crashes. After which, any subsequent load of the Waveshell causes the host (Cubase) to crash.

Full Solution:
  • Windows 64 Bit is affected (although it mentioned 8 it can also be 7)
  • Waves (shell) crashes once
  • Waveshell gets added to the reg key with “IgnoreFreeLibraries” with reference to Cubase (or whatever caused the crash).
  • Waveshell will now crash every time it is loaded / used (unless the shell is renamed)
  • Solution – DELETE the registry DATA contained in this key (as highlighted in my screenshot) that relates to your DAW host

How to find the key: Search registry for “WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64” and you will find the odd key with IgnoreFreeLibrary associated.

Do not search for AppCompatFlags as it will bring up tons of irrelevant stuff.

Here is my reg key area:

This may of course be different for another machine so it probably better to use the search method as mentioned above. Notice in my screenshot that Wavelab also had the same problem.

Bookmark this key and if you suffer this problem go back and DELETE the registry DATA contained in this key that relates to your DAW host.

Back It up first if you are concerned.

So anyone on Win 64 experiencing Waves crashes – And I mean total Waves crashes – ie. Nothing VST3 works. It may be worth checking.

I have contacted Waves and they are working on a solution.

OK that is all. Thank you and goodnight.
