Supported Hosts

This page lists all DAWs officially supported for each version of Waves plugins.

The DAW versions listed below are the latest we tested and officially qualified, for each version of our products.
Waves’ latest version works on newer sub-versions of these DAWs, unless stated otherwise.
Waves plugins comply with the major audio plugin formats (VST3, AU, AAX).
If your DAW is not listed below, but supports VST3, AU or AAX, it should work fine with our software.
Check your DAW’s website to see whether it has qualified Waves plugins, and demo the Waves product to ensure it works to your satisfaction before purchase.
Your DAW must be running on an operating system that supports it in order for plugins to work properly. To confirm that your DAW version is supported on your operating system, please refer to your DAW’s website.

General:

These specs are for software version 12.7
Waves V12.7 may cause graphic corruptions when ‘HiDPI’ is enabled in Cubase 10.5 and Nuendo 10.3.
Logic 10.5.1, Luna 1.0.6 and Pyramix 12 are officially supported with software version 12.0, not 12.7
V12 supports 64-bit only.
Logic 10.5.1: On macOS 10.13.6 and 10.14.6, plugins that have an expand/collapse function may cause a graphic glitch when expanded or collapsed. We are working on a fix for this behavior. This does not occur on macOS 10.15.5.
Multiple versions of Waves plugins (for example v13 and v14) should be able to work on the same system (as long the system supports each of those versions)—but please note that we no longer test or officially support this scenario.

Ableton Live:

As of Waves V12 – Waves plugins are supported only in the VST3 format.
Users are hereon advised to load plugins in the VST3 format only for future session compatibility.
Clicking the ‘About’ box in the plugin will display if plugin is loaded in the VST3 or VST (2.4) formats.
If you encounter issues with VST (2.4) plugins in current or older sessions, or wish to ‘future-proof’ your sessions, load VST3 instance/s of the plugin alongside the existing VST (2.4) ones, then use the WaveSystem toolbar to copy the preset/s from VST (2.4) and paste in the VST3.
The ‘MIDI Learn’ function of controls on the plugin GUI is currently disabled in Ableton Live/VST3. Workaround: Assign MIDI via device parameters.
Ableton Live sessions created with previous versions (V10/V11) of the plugin components listed below, will not load in the sessions after the plugin version is updated:
