How to Use Waves Plugins with Waveshell VST 9.3

Waves plugins are popular audio effects that can enhance your music production and mixing. However, if you are using a custom VST or VST3 folder, you may encounter some issues with loading and using Waves plugins. This is because Waves plugins use a software gateway called WaveShell to connect to your host application.

In this article, we will show you how to use Waves plugins with Waveshell VST 9.3, which is an older version of the WaveShell that may be compatible with some legacy plugins. We will also explain how to update your WaveShell to the latest version and why you should use VST3 plugins instead of VST2.

What is WaveShell

WaveShell is a software component that acts as a bridge between Waves plugins and your host application. It allows you to access and manage all your Waves plugins from one interface, without having to install each plugin individually.

WaveShell also enables you to use multiple versions of Waves plugins in the same project, as long as they are compatible with the same WaveShell version. For example, if you have WaveShell VST 9.3 installed, you can use Waves plugins from version 9.0 to 9.3.

However, WaveShell also has some limitations and drawbacks. For instance, it may not be recognized by some host applications or plugin scanners, especially if you are using a custom VST or VST3 folder. It may also cause conflicts or errors with other plugins or software components.

How to Use Waves Plugins with Waveshell VST 9.3

If you are using Waveshell VST 9.3, you need to make sure that it is located in the same folder as your other VST plugins. You also need to make sure that your host application or plugin scanner can find and verify the WaveShell file.

Here are the steps to use Waves plugins with Waveshell VST 9.3:

Locate the WaveShell-VST 9.3_x64.dll file on your computer. It should be in one of these folders: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Waves\\Plug-Ins V9 or C:\\Program Files\\Waves\\Plug-Ins V9.

Copy the WaveShell-VST 9.3_x64.dll file and paste it in your custom VST or VST3 folder.

Launch your host application or plugin scanner and rescan your plugins.

If you are prompted to select the WaveShell file, navigate to your custom VST or VST3 folder and choose the WaveShell-VST 9.3_x64.dll file.

You should now be able to load and use Waves plugins from version 9.0 to 9.3 in your project.
