I just don't understand how this could be happening.
I'm really trying to be calm and not have a meltdown, but I've had issues now for two weeks after five years of flawless performance, and ten years of flawless performance on my previous system (which still works btw). The plugins are there - I can see them in explorer, but they will not load. Only one problem, Waves still won't load into PT even after restoring. So then I gave up and restored the computer to a couple of days ago thinking at least that I could continue to work on something at at least. I worked with it for a long time, rebooting the whole computer, starting and restarting PT, uninstalling and reinstalling Waves and nothing at all would work. Every single one of my sessions that has Waves plugins on it is just a bunch of blank slots. Everything seemed to have installed just fine, but when I opened PT it skipped loading Waves, and nothing loaded. So I uninstalled all the Waves plugs and Waves Central, and installed Waves Central 9.6 as suggested. But who wants to have to restart PT every time they go to another session? It said I didn't have a license but I do. I upgraded to 10.3.10, started getting intermittent instances where the Waves plugs wouldn't load. I'm just depressed about it now even if I have been using PT since 2002.
This last upgrade has had so many problems I don't know if I can do it any more. Guys, I swear this might be the last leg of my journey with Pro Tools.
