Logic 8, Snow Leopard and Waves Plugins

Hi,

I am considering updating to Snow Leopard and I'm worried about my Waves plugins working correctly. I have contacted Waves support and they say:

"Waves does not support Snow Leopard yet, but we will in the next future (Waves 7). The Plug-Ins might work, but we haven't tested it, so I cannot tell for sure."

Having the plugins "might working" is not what I'm after and so I wanted to ask around if anybody has some Waves Bundles (Version 6) up and running on Logic 8 with Snow Leopard?

Thanks for any help

I haven't noticed any problems with my Waves 6 plugins on 10.6.1 yet, but I'm on Logic 9. I doubt that makes a difference, but to be safe you might want to wait for other confirmation.

Hmm, it really bothers me that the manufacturer hasn't tested the plugs yet. It really does... :-/

A studio fella working in the same premises has Snow Leopard installed and uses L3, obviously at least something works.

Thank you to both of you for your replies, it still makes me a little wary of updating to SL, you would expect a leading plugin company (Waves) to test a new OS as soon as possible, instead of waiting to see what happens - but I suppose it is less expensive to let the customer do the testing for you!!

If I do install SL and none of my Waves plugins work (it has been very stable with logic 8 and Leopard) I shall just hide away in a corner and whip myself with a cat o' nine tails.

I'm sure you saw this already, but just in case:

By the way, did you eventually upgrade to SL? If so, did you come across any functionality issues with the plugins?

Thanks in advance.

Hello! I have the same issue!

Got Waves 4.0 Diamond and the .component is in the Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Component folder but still Logic does not see plug-ins!

I have restarted Logic (8 Pro) many times and still no results.

Thank you!
