Waves CLA plugins constantly crashing

Post by jodboy23 »

Hello,
I purchased the Waves CLA plugin bundle from Waves Audio a month ago or so, and the plugins were working great in Mixcraft until recently. Now, almost every time I go to play a track with the CLA Vocals plugin applied, the plugin immediately crashes. When it doesn't crash upon playback, it often crashes upon mixdown. It seems to take 6 or 7 mixdowns to get it to behave enough to work. Is there any workaround or solution for this? Thanks in advance.

I've had problems with my Waves plugins (GTR, GTRSolo) which turned out to be entirely graphics related - maybe investigate that possibility? As far as I'm aware Waves doesn't officially support Mixcraft so no good going to them for help...

Forgot to mention, if my memory serves me right, the general consensus here is to avoid the vst3 versions of the plugins.

That's test #1, try the vst2. Fortunately my Waves vst3 work but I had some issues early with MC9. After checking vst2 make sure you have latest build of MC.

I was having the same problem with the CLA plugins, and reinstalling seems to have fixed them. It might also be I closed the Video window in MC. I'm using VST3's on Win 10 latest MC9, 64GB memory, i7-11700, nVidia 2070 Super.
