The title says it all. My Waves plugins are available in a session. I use them, save the song. Try to load the song and get a message about can't load the plugin (H-Comp) and again, can't load the plugin (Studio Rack). They worked when I saved but won't load. I'm not a big fan of do-overs, particularly when, at the moment, it's an exercise in futility.
Any ideas?
@Phil-Huston Does it make a difference if you run Music Maker as administrator by right clicking on the program icon?
Have you tried re-scanning the VST paths?
Thanks for the suggestions but I have tried both. MMM 2023 P knows the plugins are there, and can be inserted in track, aux and across the master. And they obviously save with the project because they get aborted on project load. It's strange as I have quite a few plugins that require iLok and have their own "phone home" installers/maintenance programs that all load on recall elsewhere. And Waves are the only ones that don't load on recall in MMM. I would think that one of the picky ones, UVI, Eventide, NI, iZotope, Arturia etc would fold if the DAW had an issue. One workaround is don't use the Waves plugs, which I can do, but that Magna channel strip is magic. The other is to export the tracks and run them in another program. Neither are all that much trouble, but it would be nice if MMM and Waves played well together.
Thanks again. I'll keep trying different things and if I find something that works, I'll post it. It would also be interesting to know if anyone else has encountered this issue.

@Phil-Huston I read somewhere, maybe the KVR forum or VI-Control, that Waves plugins may not follow the VST standard 100%, which will make compatibility hit and miss depending on the DAW you use.
If you have different versions of the plugins, for example VST2 or VST3, you might want to try to load the VST2 plugins instead.
I have both, but they all load and function properly, simply will not recall on reload. I even changed the security settings on all of them to no avail. I thought at first it was that I had several revisions of Waves (11, 12, 14) but when I checked Waves central it was a few I never use/Plugin Boutique freebies that were older. I would also agree that Waves and some DAWS don't play well together. There're YouTubes out there where the FL people have to jump through hoops. I bounce between Cakewalk (which has gotten really weird lately) and StudioOne which is pretty stable, but PreSonus is so snotty about their clock it can't be synced externally. I haven't tried Acid Next yet, but that's just for slamming loops and I don;t expect it to be too smart.
Hi
Have you updated or added some new Wave plugins?
If so then check if all the Waves licenses are all the same version, or if you have a mixture.

- this issue is not limited to just Music Maker, the same has been happening with other DAWS and appears to have been going for a very long while.
