Installation:
Uninstalling/Cleaning:
If you are installing Waves for the first time, skip this step.
• Run the attached file "R2R_Kill_Waves_Background_Process.cmd".
• Make sure that the processes COSMOS.exe, WavesLocalServer.exe, WavesPluginServer.exe are not running.
• Uninstall the previous version.
• Uninstall Waves Central.
Clean paths:
directory with your VST2, VST3, AAX plugins
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\
• %PROGRAMFILES%\Waves Central\
• %PROGRAMDATA%\Waves Audio\
• %APPDATA%\COSMOS\
• %APPDATA%\Waves Audio\
• %LOCALAPPDATA%\Waves Audio\
• %PUBLIC%\Waves Audio\
=> If you feel you don't have enough experience, search for "WaveShell*" on your C drive and then delete all the files found.
=> We often encounter users having issues with old shells that need to be removed.
Clean the registry:
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Waves\
Installing Runtimes:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2026 x64 Redistributable
Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime(used by recent web plugins)
Installing Waves:
• Unzip our installer, run it and install.
• Scan or rescan the plugins in your DAW. If you have updated your plugins, a full rescan is recommended.
• If you are using sample-based instruments, find the path to the instruments in the application launcher or GUI.
Sample libraries (most of them can be downloaded from the official Waves website):
• Waves.Bass.Fingers.Library.HD.v1.0-R2R

Restarting Waves background servers:
This is useful if background processes are not working correctly.
Incorrect background servers can cause various problems (with licensing, scanning, presets, etc.).
• Run the attached file “R2R_Kill_Waves_Background_Process.cmd”.
• Delete the cache files in the "%APPDATA%\Waves Audio\" and "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Waves Audio\" folders.
• Run these EXE files manually.
"%PROGRAMDATA%\Waves Audio\WavesLocalServer\WavesLocalServer.bundle\Contents\Win64\WavesLocalServer.exe"
"%PROGRAMDATA%\Waves Audio\WavesPluginServer\WavesPluginServerV17.1.bundle\Contents\Win64\WavesPluginServer.exe"
• After this, rescan your plugins.
