Hey everyone,

I couldn’t really decide where to open this topic, but I think it’s a serious issue.

With the new Waves update, Waves plugins no longer appear inside Pro Tools 12.5.

(I installed and tested this on another PC as well.)

Unfortunately, it seems like this might be the end of the road for PT 12.5. I really hope we see a new one take the stage.

If anyone has updated Waves and experienced this issue on PT 12.5 and managed to solve it, I’m open to any kind of feedback. However, from what I’ve read, it looks like it’s no longer supported…

The strange thing is that, for example, the new Magma Stress Box does appear. But only that one.

Just so you know…

 

Downgrade Waves plugins:
If you have perpetual licenses, use Waves Central to install an older version (e.g., V12, V13, or V14) that was still compatible with PT 12.5.

 

Meh. That’s a choice too, of course… Still, it would have been nice to see a new PT on the scene. It’s clearly heading toward a point where it’s both old and no longer usable.
Changing a DAW can sometimes be really difficult. That’s why I think saying “just change your DAW” comes across as a bit arrogant.

 

He didn't actually say change DAW's, just downgrade the waves version to one that works. I'm running waves 15 with 12.5HD and it all works fine. I do agree that a new PT version needs cracking. Been too long now.

 

Oh of course. I meant that for comments that might come in the future. Sorry about that.
I’m happy for you! And definitely don’t update Waves. lol
