Ventura 13.7.6 + Logic Pro 10.7.9

I tried the installation method I mentioned before, and this time, almost all the plugins I needed started up and worked without any issues.
However, for some reason, the 'Intel Only Patch' didn’t work this time, so I used 'Waves Ultimate' instead. That’s the only change.

Waves Must Not Be Very Proud Of This Update Because There Are Hardly No YouTube Videos On This Update Usually They Have a Sh.t Ton Of Videos On Their Stuff The Only One i Have Seen Is On COSMOS Thanks

not much to talk about: we fixed bugs of out faulty code, and now you can resize the interface. That's it, video done.

All waves plugins are opening in Demo Mode in Logic Pro
I guess that is because I switch Logic Pro to Rosetta after I run the Patch for the first time, because SyncVx ARA was not working and Rosetta could be the solution
I'm wondering if running the patch again will compromise what is working so far, that is everything else in Ableton Live 12 but Logic Pro?
Any hit will be greatly appreciated

Thanks a lot, mate. It is a very useful comment for all of those Pro Tools users who still run their DAW under Rosetta.

Guiseppe patch 15.2 patches nicely this Waves Ultimate 16 v25.06.23 U2B macOS release, meanwhile the included Guiseppe 15.9 patch (neither the included "Intel only" patch) doesn't.

Also, I personally needed to change the privilege of the Waves folder in Applications to "read and write" for every instance, otherwise Pro Tools didn't find the waves 16 plugins at all after clean install.

Thanks again!

With the VR patch all I am getting is an error message on installation

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.

Works for me in Cubase 14, but plugins show DEMO in Cubase 13.
Patched with "Waves Patcher 15.9 U2B - GUISEPPE" in MacOS Ventura 13.7.6 (M1 Ultra).

Any help? Thx

quote by mister BEEin this Package "The soundgrid Stuff and Drivers not longer pop up in insatller"
So if you need this, it it seems its be gone in WU16
for me in WU15 and before: I deselect all drivers and all SoundGrid Stuff, because i dont use it


Yeah they excluded it in the offline installer, but still available in online installer section!
