After I upgraded to Cubase 9 and went “totally 64bit” I had a problem with my DAW not finding the 54 Waves plugins. I also had the same problem with Maschine and Waves.
Install your favorite audio software on your computer. You can use anything from a full suite like. Waves plugins use what's called a VST Shell. It is a single DLL file (or.VST3 file) that points the host to all the individual plugins. As long as Reaper can find the VST Shell and the actual plugin files can be reached by the VST Shell, Reaper should be able to find the plugins.
A quick search on the forums showed that this is a common issue but there is lots of disagreement about how to actually fix it.
The problem occurs because both 32bit and 64bit Waves plugins all sit in the same folder within Program Files (x86) – a location normally used for 32bit stuff!
Try as you may by pointing your DAW to the right location, both Cubase and Maschine were not having it!
I tried lots suggestions before finally discovering a post on the Steinberg Forums by user KurtOzzthat did the trick – actually instructions from Waves support:
Uninstall All Products via Waves Central:
In Waves Central go to Install->Uninstall Products (at the top).
Choose all the products click ‘Uninstall’.
Once uninstall is finished – quit Waves Central.
Uninstall Waves Central :
Uninstall Waves Central itself using Control Panel->Programs and Features
Remove Various files:
Click on Winkey+R and enter the text %appdata% – click Enter. Delete the Waves folder inside ‘Roaming’.
Click on Winkey+R and enter the text %programdata% – click Enter. Delete the ‘Waves Audio’ folder.
Conduct a file search on your system for the term :”WaveShell” and delete any “WaveShell” file that you find.
Re-Install:
