Waves Ultimate 15 v25.04.07 U2B macOS screenshot
macOS (Incl. Team Guseppe / V.R Patch) | 7 April 2025 | 9.6 GB
Waves is the world’s leading developer of audio plugins and signal processors for the professional and consumer electronics audio markets.



April 7, 2025

- New Plugin: [Curves AQ](https://www.waves.com/plugins/curves-aq): the world's first autonomous EQ. AQ is cognitive -- click 'Learn' and it does the rest. It learns your audio, decides what sound it should have and creates 5 unique EQ profiles. Then, you can personalize the sound with 5 reimagined EQ controls.

This is the second release of Waves' Curves Spectral Series, with a third to be released later in 2025. Curves AQ is available as a single plugin, in the [Mercury](https://www.waves.com/bundles/mercury) bundle, or in the [Waves Ultimate](https://www.waves.com/subscriptions/ultimate) subscription.

quote by NONI"Guiseppe patch"

there is no "Guiseppe patch" patch that came with it and instructions clearly say create an account and be online while you reveal your email and computer id attempting to signal this offline image which mankes no sense unless the copy I got was tampered with

So far no luck on my side, all plugins in Demo Mode
Try it on my second Mac (2015 Macbook Pro, Sonoma 14.7.2, Ableton Live 12.1.1) that had no Waves previously installed

I've tried both patches but none seems to work
I've also tried sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Waves/WavesLocalServer but it didn't worked either

Any further info will be apreciated

works on ableton mac m1 no problem. just installed off waves central and ran the patch.

but when i switch ableton to rosetta mode, all the waves plugins enter demo mode. i need to go back and forth between native and rosetta so is there any ideas how to fix this? :))

When I Run under Rosetta, "Demo Mode" appears, and I get the same results as Gus66...But when run natively [Apple Silicon] Demo mode goes away and the plugins work!

I have weird unique problem, and I can't find the answer anywhere: anytime I try to run Curves AQ or Studio Verse I get this message - "Waves Plugins Server Is Unavailable". I installed and reinstall all of the waves multiple times. I used the Patcher. Seems like noone else is having the same issue. Could you anyone please help?

After hours and hours of nearly going crazy, I found the solution:

1 - DEEP Waves uninstall and cleanup:

Launch Waves Central .
Go to the Settings page in the bottom left corner.
Under Maintenance, look for Uninstall and click the drop-down menu.
Checkmark all the available version entries and click Uninstall .
Once done, go to Applications and remove the Waves folder and the Waves Central application.
In Finder, click on the Go menu while holding down [Alt/Option], click on Library > Preferences and send the Waves Preferences to the trash.
In the same Library folder go to Caches and send the Waves folder to the trash.
Go to Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support and send the Waves folder to the trash.
Delete any WaveShell files you find in the following locations (if exist):
Mac HD > Library > Audio > Plugins > Components
Mac HD > Library > Audio > Plugins > VST
Mac HD > Library > Audio > Plugins > VST3
Mac HD > Library > Application Support > Digidesign > Plugins
Mac HD > Library > Application Support > Avid > Audio > Plug-Ins
Mac HD > Library > Audio > Plugins > WPAPI

2 - DON'T USE WAVES CENTRAL NOR OFFLINE INSTALLATION files from this distribution.
Download Waves Central from the official Waves website. Log in with any account and select, download, and install all the plugins you want. Yes, they're demo versions, but that's okay.
THEN close Waves Central and use Giuseppe Waves Patcher v15.9

3 - Restart your Mac, and run Waves AU Reg Utility 15.app
MAGIC! Now IT DOES FIND the plugins.

My guess is Waves Central AND Install.CEN from this distribution are corrupted somehow.
Everyone who managed to install it without issues probably just did the same thing.

I PROMISE: IT'LL WORK!

Guiseppe is fantastic !
I did the waves central update (just opened waves central while connected to the internet), then installed curves eq from waves central, then patched with Guiseppe, while eating a pizza.
Voila…
Mac osx Sonoma, M1 Pro using Luna and Logic
This curves eq is really handy, most of the time, but it’s not a one for all solution, it’s not always doing good results. But the built in sidechain between the instances seems to work quiet well
À nice addition

Im having the same problem, with the patch 15.2 Sync VX worked in Logic in rosetta, with every waves plugin, after i installed this last patch 15.9, it stopped working completely in rosetta, asks for activation, and every other plugin shows demo mode. I already try to apply the old patch, no luck, same issue. If i run natively every other plugin works, just no luck with sync vx (it need roseta to run)

When I try to install the V.R Patch I get this pop up message in my Mac (sequoia):

There has been an error.
Error changing ownership of /Applications/Waves Central.app/Contents/Resources/res/external/bin/WavesLicenseEngine.bundle to 0
The application will exit now.

What should I do?
And the Giuseppe fix won't work for me, Plugins are in demo mode.
---------
Update of a few minutes later: now the Giuseppe trick works, all of a sudden the demo message is not there anymore... It looks like it's working. Thanks.

I just went to the waves website installed waves central Installed plugins I wanted and after that I run Guiseppe V15.9 Patcher and EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECT.

I'm glad to say that it's fully working (M1 Studio Max Sonoma 14.7.2, Ableton Live 12.1.1) including Curves AQ

Just keep in mind for those running your DAW in Rosetta, Waves won't work until you unchecked that option. As long as Rosetta is engaged all Waves Plugins open in Demo Mode

Also for those having some legit waves plugins these are the steps I take to have them both Pached and Legits, running smoothly (in my case Cosmos and IDX Intelligent Dynamics):
1- INSTALL YOUR LEGIT PLUGIN FROM YOUR ACCOUNT WITH WAVES CENTER
2- INSTALL THE CRACK
3- PATCHING AND REBOOTING (USE GUISEPPE PATCH)
4- Run AU Reg Utility FROM APPLICATIONS/WAVES/WAVESHELLS V15

Thanks for all the great work and sharing with this community

Hello there. I'm facing some issues. The plugins work in Logic and Pro Tools, but when I try to use them in FL, the Waves Shell shows an error. Everything is ARM and running natively (I own FL). How can I fix this issue in FL?

got an info from the tracker "Found a way out, it worked for me. So: I downloaded the patch from this Waves Audio distribution - Waves V15 {Patch Only} [11.2024] here on ru tracker, then deleted "WavesLicenseEngine" from /Library/Application Support/Waves/Modules and patched it with the patch from this distribution Waves Audio - Waves V15 {Patch Only} [11.20241, everything started working for me" for those who's got a demo access in rosetta

I have tried the patch by Team V.R but now my Mac is starting very slow. It takes about 5 minutes to boot my Mac. Is there a way to undo the patch or any terminal command to make my Mac boot normal again?
