Waves Audio Ventura

[Silke Kawaiaea]

New M2 MBP.. Ventura 13.2.1.. Logic 10.7.9.

I'm getting these crashes a lot, even on a project in which there were no plugins loaded. So, my question is, can audio units cause this crash even if they're not used in the project?

I've tried various fixes I have found on various forums; deleting preferences, reinstalling seemed to stop the issue for a week or so, now it's happening again, a lot. I've not lost any work but it's super annoying.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Of course, you're absolutely right.. I was working on a project from a friend, I thought it didn't have any plugins but I checked and there was a Waves H-Delay.. I'm still using V12 under Rosetta (no spare cash to upgrade rn), I'm guessing that my Waves plugins could well be the culprit then right?

I would have thought the Waves stuff would be reasonably solid though - I guess check the compatibility of V12 Waves with whatever macOS version you're running, perhaps? You might need to upgrade to run them on Ventura, as V12 is quite old now - that would be my guess.

I've been encountering this too, and although it seems like it'd be easy to do so, I haven't been able to narrow it down to a single plugin (and all the plugins I'm using are compatible and check out otherwise). I'm using Rosetta in the meantime, but I haven't solved the issue yet.

There may be be gui/interface issues indeed - one of the more noticeable one is controls that "stick" for a second or two when controlling them. Let's hope things improve over the next few updates etc...

Thanks for all the responses..

I checked and - I should have suspected - Waves v.12 is not supported in Ventura. I got rid of all the waves plugins and things seemed to become stable, I thought I'd solved the problem.

Now however, I'm getting the same problem with even more frequency! I have no idea what's causing it. I wish the developers would make it easy to determine which AU is causing the crash.

One thing that is different though.. I'm using varispeed (practicing a difficult guitar part slowed down before recording at normal speed). Is it possible that that is contributing?

Sines is a sensational and innovative original polyphonic synthesizer. Employing four sine-wave oscillators, Sines utilizes diverse waveshaping methods to bend these pure waveforms into infinitely variable and complex shapes. When combined with its wide-ranging modulation capabilities and effects, users can create a distinctive array of unique timbres ranging from the sublime to sizzling.

The state-of-the-art Sines interface provides immediate hands-on access to all sound parameters. It comes alive with illuminated indicators, color, and mini oscilloscopes, providing instant visual feedback. The primary sound design controls are grouped horizontally in bands emphasizing its "four of everything" nature: four LFOs, four oscillators, and four envelope generators. At the core of each section are the unique sine-wave oscillator waveshaping controls: feedback, phase, width, shape, wavefold, and drive, along with a sub (octave-down) oscillator and a super (octave-up) oscillator. Phase modulation and ratio dials allow the oscillators to be configured in a modulator/carrier arrangement for four-op DX/FM-style synthesis.

But these dangerous curves are just the beginning. Sines features Cherry Audio's most extensive multimode filter to date, four LFOs with 14 wave shapes, four envelope generators, an arpeggio, a "best of" selection of Cherry Audio's finest acclaimed effects, a drift function, and an integrated eight-band graphic EQ. Many controls include an adjacent mod source button, and an outrageously comprehensive four-slot mod matrix provides considerable modulation options for nearly every Sines parameter.

Mastering Sines may seem like rocket science, but we've made it easy to get started. Sines includes over 700 presets, both practical and cutting-edge, as well as a comprehensive user guide that's fun to read. Moreover, the aural and visual immediacy of Sines encourages experimentation and provides a deeper understanding of how the elements interact. In little time, users can design individualized sounds ranging from glorious evolving pads, bright FM plucks, distinctive leads, crisp percussive tones, and much more.

Sines lends itself well to three more direct approaches to sound design: standard subtractive synthesis, where sine waves are wave-shaped into other familiar waveforms, then processed through an analog-style filter. Alternately, an additive synthesis approach stacks sine waves at different pitches and amplitudes, like a supercharged Hammond tonewheel organ. Finally, oscillators can modulate each other in multiple configurations, mimicking the classic DX-style FM carrier and modulator architecture with much less effort than original 80s instruments.

Last but not least, Sines boasts all of the exceptional touches Cherry Audio is known for, including polyphonic aftertouch, MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), flexible MIDI mapping, and its industry-leading preset browser. Also included are Cherry Audio's studio-quality effects such as distortion, chorus, phaser, delay, and reverb, all fully modulatable through the mod matrix. Altogether, Sines is the complete package for new frontiers in sound design and performance.

Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V is the reincarnation of the legendary PPG Wave Synthesizer, which no doubt is considered one of the most respected high-end synthesizers of the 80s. Developed by Wolfgang Palm, this instrument is featured on countless records, and it inspired a whole generation of producers, composers and listeners. While back then it was your choice to spent your money either for a vehicle or the PPG, the new PPG Wave 3.V renders this breathtaking sonic character very affordable, comfortably to use for every VST or AU Host.

PPG Wave 2 was the very first digital Wavetable synthesizer with analog filters that allowed completely new worlds of sound and endless sonic possibilities. Shortly afterwards, the successor PPG Wave 2.2 came out and was born to make history. With a gigantic arsenal of waveshapes, it could not only reproduce known analog sounds, but also brilliant choirs, bells and whistles. The digital sounds of wavetables had been unheard until then and offered sensational sonic evolutions by smoothly going through 64 waves back and forth.

But the technical possibilities also produced harsh artifacts such as aliasing and others, which could not be omitted back then. Today, although technology is some steps further, Waldorf engineers even managed to get the harshness back in order to recreate the character of the beast.

The combination of digital waveshapes and analog filters of the PPG was responsible for an unparalleled fat and thrust boosting character. This has been very accurately recreated in PPG 3.v up to the smallest resolution of detail. With PPG 3.V, it is actually possible to switch between several version of the original. Besides PPG Wave 2.2 and PPG Wave 2.3, PPG Wave 2.V and their subtle differences in aliasing and other sources of harshness are adjustable.

Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V is capable of delivering up to 256 voices of polyphony, depending on the host computer. Each voice offers two Wavetable oscillators with optional sample playback with either 8, 12, or 32 bits of resolution. Samples can easily be loaded by Drag & Drop. An 8 part multimode allows multisamples to be used with the same charme and ease of use that the original offered.
