Troubleshooting Waves Plug-Ins in WaveLab 10

If you're experiencing issues with Waves plug-ins not showing up in your WaveLab 10 installation, you're not alone. Despite trying various troubleshooting steps, it's possible that the issue persists. Here are some additional steps you can take to resolve this problem.

Firstly, it's worth noting that Cubase has its own settings for detecting and loading plug-ins, which may be different from those in WaveLab. If you've already tried installing Waves plug-ins in Cubase 10.5 without any issues, it suggests that the problem lies with WaveLab itself rather than the plug-ins.

One potential solution is to clear out any cached settings in WaveLab. You can do this by deleting the WaveLab Preferences folder located at C:\Users\\AppData\Wavelab Pro 9.5. This may reset any saved settings and allow WaveLab to re-scan for plug-ins.

Another approach is to uninstall and reinstall WaveLab 9.5.15, as well as delete the entire Cache folder located in Steinberg/Wavelab/9.5. This will ensure that all cached data is cleared out and WaveLab starts from a clean slate.

It's also worth trying to force WaveLab to re-scan for plug-ins by holding down the control key while launching the application, then selecting 'Force Plug-in Detection at next launch' from the preferences menu.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to explore further troubleshooting options. For instance, checking for any residual files or settings that could be causing the problem. Steinberg support has forwarded a System Information File to their development team, which suggests that they are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it.

In conclusion, if you're experiencing issues with Waves plug-ins not showing up in WaveLab 10, try clearing out cached settings, uninstalling and reinstalling WaveLab, or forcing WaveLab to re-scan for plug-ins. If none of these steps work, you may need to explore further troubleshooting options or seek assistance from Steinberg support.
