I was just cleaning my plugin directories, had to clean all my Waves plugins from my Catalina OSX macMini. (Its hard having just 256GB of hard disk space.)
I had to re-install the ones that I use so I downloaded the offline installers.
I have lots that are still v10, just 2 v11, some that are v12 and v13 and some more v14.
Install didnt go well and Reaper would fail to load them or taking too long to load.
I "Repair"ed then from Waves Central and they seem to be ok now BUT i noticed that some of them appear only as VST2 and not VST3, for instance the CLA signature series.
They worked before this with the same OS on this computer. Now I only see the VST2 version of them.
The thing is I only use VST3 for the most part so recalling my projects is not possible at this moment.
In not ready to WUP them up to v14 yet.
What can I do right now to fix this?
PS: Dont know if there are other posts with the same problem. If there are, then I apoligize. Please be kind enough to post link of similar threads.
Thank you. Fortunately I got it to work. Not sure if this is a hack or if its an unortodox method.
I uninstalled everything and started installing again starting from v14 then all my v13 , moving to v12 then v11 and finally v10.
I had System Preferences >>> Security & Privacy open and at some point towards the end I had to Cancel whatever notification was showing and then giving permission from Security settings . This happened a few times then i chose OPEN on the final notification and giving permission again i think (i dont remember the order 100%) and it went through and everything worked. I can see the VST2 and VST3 plugins in Reaper and they all work.
I understand that v10 do not support OS 10.15 and Im looking forward to WUP up the ones that i will keep on using.
