Feature Requests

Not even an answer from you guys at waves?

Please bring this up and running!

Enabling Central on Linux is not the issue. The main request is for a plugins version that supports Linux, right?

Hi there, now, when Presonus offering Studio One on Linux (beta for now, but it seems very good!), maybe itā€™s another reason to go to be Linux ready?

25

As soon as Studio One is stable on Linux I would change to it and let the Mac behind. It would be nice if Waves also make this stept (otherwise I must sadly say goobye to my many Waves plugins)

I fully agree. Itā€™s daft to have to use MacOS or Windows 11 box for just running LV1

And Waves Audio please donā€™t come up with the excuse of we donā€™t know how to program on Linuxā€¦ your DSP servers running it!!!

So get your propeller head on and start making LV1 and others to work native on Linux (just pick any of the distroā€™s)

Thank you

+1 here, keeping the hope alive that Waves listens to its clients.

Upvoting, too! @Waves: Even if you donā€™t want to maintain Linux versions of your massive library of plugins, could you at least come up with a licensing tool that isnā€™t so locked into Windows? I just switched to Linux and you guys are the odd man out. All of my other Windows VSTs ā€“ you know, ones with a NORMAL installer ā€“ work great on Linux. But since Waves Central does whatever black voodoo it does, Iā€™m out of luckā€¦. More precisely, youā€™re out of luck because I will never be paying for newer versions of anything.

I think you underestimate how pissed off people are with Microsoft. It sucks losing my Waves plugins, but not enough to coerce me into continuing to use Windows.

Iā€™ve been using Reaper on Linux for quite a while now and, while I would love to use my Waves plugins, I havenā€™t been ā€“ and wonā€™t be ā€“ booting back into Windows to do it. Iā€™d prefer that Waves come around to supporting Linux. If they donā€™t, the are plenty of other companies that do.
