Waves old and new plugins and VST3

Javier-Lorenzo wrote on 2/21/2021, 2:00 PM

My Acid Pro 10 is bombing as I start using plugins for vocals such as H Delay, The Waves Q8 and CLA Stereo vocals. It is like it is having issues with not only the third party but VST3. The literature on the promo of Acid 10, it says you can even use 32 to 64 bit third parties but everytime I bring the program up and my project is what I did last, it bombs and it closes. I have to try up to 3 times to bring the 10.0 up. Please advise.

Use VST2 wherever possible.

If ACID is the main/only DAW, then test any plug-ins that don’t ship VST2 thoroughly - before purchase. Including virtual instruments.

Otherwise, bounce stems and mix/master elsewhere, where the plugins are supported.

Last resort, you can just ignore the third party stuff and try to get it done with chains of ACID/MAGIX stock plug-ins. Won’t work with virtual instruments, though.
