Hi.
I think this may have been asked before, but searching the forum I can't find an answer. Is there any way of using Waves plugins in Realband?

Grateful for any help

Regards

Spig

Try MiniHost http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=394808#Post394808

or split it to separate dll's
www.xlutop.com/buzz/zip/shell2vst.zip

1 - Download Shell2vst.exe here... http://www.xlutop.com/buzz/zip/shell2vst.zip
2 - Copy Shell2vst.exe to C:\Program Files (86)\Waves\Waveshells
3 - Drag and drop each "WaveShell-VST x.x.x.dll" onto the shell2vst.exe (But not WaveShell-Direct X...dll or the WaveShell-Direct X...dll) If prompted to overwrite, choose "no"
4 - A new "Waves" folder will be created that contains all the waves plugins as individual .dll fils
5 - Copy the newly created "Waves" folder into your shared Vstplugins folder (Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins)
6 - Remove the WaveShells from your shared Vstplugins folder

A thousand thanks.

It worked.

I am always bowled over by how knowledgeable and helpful the people on this forum are to people like me who don't understand computers in depth!

Best regards

Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated.

I updated the guide below for others who may be trying to find the solution for themselves too.

1. Download and extract Shell2vst64.exe from http://www.xlutop.com/buzz/zip/shell2vst.zip.
2. Copy Shell2vst64.exe to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\WaveShells V11 folder.
3. Drag all WaveShell(x)-VST 11.0_x64.dll files [where (x) is a number] onto Shell2vst64.exe. This will create the VST DLLs onto a subfolder called "Waves".
4. Copy all the DLLs that were created to C:\Program Files\VstPlugins.
5. Reinstall jBridge.
Note for users (who may have skipped this info): RealBand at this time is still 32bit so jBridge is necessary for 64bit VSTs can run inside a 32bit DAW.

This has worked for me.

Best regards

Julian
