Hey everyone, I know you might think "why the hell would you want that..." but I have some old projects I want to rework on my old 32 bit DAW and the current Waves version is 64 bit only and even in the most recent 32 bit version some of the plugins that I used back then are not compatible. My DAW opens the projects with plugins showing missing even if at least 1-2 of the respective plugins are there in their more recent versions. I´d like to solve that as I need the old settings and if I just replace the missing ones with newer versions the settings are not preserved.

Maybe it´s just the plugin file name that changed from back then (back then there was the word "Waves" in the name of the plugins, nowadays it´s not anymore), but since it´s shell based I can not easily rename single plugins and check (also tried shell2vst already, didn´t work).
So I´d love to install an old (about late 2000s) 32 bit gold/diamond etc bundle parallel to the current 64 bit one I use in my 64 bit DAW, in the hope they don´t conflict with each other and my old 32 bit DAW can see the right names again. Unfortunately a bundle like that can be found nowhere. If anyone has a hint, can you pm me please? Thanks a lot!

 

Thanks a lot! It´s a great community here with a lot of great helping people, thank you, and you all!

 

You're welcome, you're too kind... oh, wait...

Seriously now, yeah there's cool people here indeed.

 

In case anyone´s interested in the further story: I was able to install a Waves 5 bundle now thanks to the help of No Avenger and indeed that is the solution for the compatibility problem, because back then Waves was still installing the Directx versions of its plugins and those had been the ones I had been using in the old DAW projects from that time.

 

Lotsa kool peaple here, huh? Yoo talkin ta me?

 

i might still have most of the classic k' instaler for osx tiger in case.

 

I was one of the cool people too. Seriously, I was.

 

Anybody has the working Copylefter patch for waves v9r21 for MAC? Please help! I'm trying to activate Waves on my Pro Tools 10.3.10 on OSX 10.9 Mavericks!

 

i still have working link of "Waves Complete v9.6 MacOSX Incl. Patch DVDR" wich should work on maverick

 

@No Avenger
Kann ich auch bitte einen link haben? Mein altes 32bit Waves R*R ist kaputt in Win 7 (32b)
Vielen dank!

 

Jepp. +1 für Höflichkeit.

 

Es ist ein langer Weg!

 

Für wen? Wohin?
