I know how to set up vst effects in Paris on my Mac system, but the Wondows version is baffling me. Mike audet coached me on the wrapper thing for UAD plugins, which I haven't tried yet, but how do I get my Waves plugins running? Need a VST folder to put the waveshell into. Do I just create that in the Paris folder?

Thanks!

Don't waves have DX versions anymore?

My old Platinum setup had them...of course that was like 4 versions ago

Hi Gantt,

VST plugins on the PC are very simple.

A VST plugin exists in a .dll file. PARIS has a setting to select what folder it will look in for VST dll files. Any VST dll file in the PARIS VST folder will be available in PARIS. Anything you have on the system that you don't want PARIS to load, you juts put in another folder.

DX plugins are COM objects. The PARIS app (or the FFX4 vst plugin) finds them by searching for specific attributes in the Windows registry. Once a DX plugin is installed in the system, all DX hosts should find it no matter what folder the actual dll file is in.

I hope this helps!

Mike

To load latest Waves plugins in Paris you need to run
waveshell.dll into waves shell2vst utility.
And then it shall create .dll for every plugin.

Yes this worked for me fine under XP, but I haven't tried it with Paris Win 7...
