I'm sorry to be so dense and so persistent, but I'm still trying to figure out how to make my Waves plugins work in Paris on my new Windows 7 machine. I've been using old Waves - v.3.2 - on my vintage G4 running OS 9.2.2 and I have ongoing projects using the waves Gold Bundle fx - mostly the Rennaisance compressor and 4 band EQ, occasionally the MondoMod chorus or a de-esser. The EQ and comp are the most important, since I have many mixes running them. I've been told to use "shell2vst.exe", which I have, have tried, but I don't see that it's doing anything. It wants me to drag "shell.DLL" onto it's icon and says it'll then turn all the plugins into DX. Or VST. Or something useful. But nothing good has happened yet. I tried with Waves v7, which I have been told can work with Paris (NOT by the Waves guys - they say that 3.2 was the last to sorta work...) to no avail.

Any suggestions are welcome!!!

Thanks,

Gantt

Hi Gantt,

I just got the ren-comp working using the FFX4 wrapper.

I just installed the DX version of the plugin and pointed the VST path to the ffx4 folder.

I hope this helps.

Mike

Hi Mike,

I installed the ffx4, can't figure out what to do to get Paris to see it or the Waves plugs. And I have Waves v.9 installed, but also tried - possibly unsuccessfully - to install v.7 too. I'm out all day, hopefully I can find a time when you're available to talk.

Thanks!

Gantt
