    I know nothing about MAC so my reply might be completely useless to you but:
    in Windows you find the individual plugins, devided into subfolders, in here: Computer/Local Disk/Programs(x86)/Waves/Plug-Ins V9.
    This is the default folder even if you have a x64 OS (like me).
    You can delete any plugin or dll you don't use without affecting everything else.
    I did exactly that. I've eliminated many plugins I didn't have need for.

    interesting. do you know if there were presets or other stuff in other places or was all contained in the dll?

    thanks

    in windows go to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins V9
    delete any you don't need

    If ALL your Waves plugs have a black GUI I would suggest running Ableton in Compatibility mode for Win 8 and as Administrator and also making sure your video card drivers are up to date.

    If only some plugins have the issue then it might just be a memory issue. Look at your RAM resources in Task Manager when this happens and see if it's caused by lack of memory. Load the plugin that isn't working on track by itself in an empty set to see if it works.

    How much RAM do you have installed?

    Yeah is quite a common issue with reported with a few.
    As for only keeping select plugins main bulk going to be in your main installation folder i.e on PC would be C\Program Files(86)\Waves & more specifically the Plug-Ins V9 folder.
    Not sure about specific version but some you can install only what you want etc if you look.
    As for Blank GUI is another common problem reported. :yes:
    Don't know about OSX etc but in the lots of problems reported with Nvidia\AMD s video card drivers, OpenGL etc.
    As written above updating drivers often solves.
    Some reported issue sometimes solved by turning of Hardware Acceleration etc.
    Try with a different DAW if possible to see if still an issue and then try above suggestions and check drivers etc.
    Best of luck :bow::yes:
