Read R2R.txt before everyone


NOTE 1: New V14 crack from VR .
does not have a solution for COSMOS
requiring a login. Users still need
to create a Waves account and login.
Offline installation is not possible.

NOTE 2: V13 application such as SuperRack allowing users to download unsupported
plugins throws an error. Crashes and won’t run again until you kill the problematic preset.
Clear %PUBLIC%\Waves Audio\ when this issue occurs

Waves Complete Release 2022.09.12

Delete / Clean


If this is your first installation of Waves, skip this step.

Run the included “R2R_Kill_Waves_Background_Process.cmd”.
Make sure COSMOS.exe, WavesLocalServer.exe, WavesPluginServer.exe are not running.
Delete the previous version.
Uninstall Wave Central.

Clean paths:
Your VST2, VST3, AAX plugin directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\
%PROGRAMFILES%\Waves Central\
%PROGRAMDATA%\Waves Audio\
%APPDATA%\SPACE\
%APPDATA%\Waves Audio\
% LOCALAPPDATA%\WavesAudio\
%PUBLIC%\Waves Audio\

=> If you think you have no experience, look for “WaveShell*” in your C drive and then delete everything.
=> We always see people having problems with old skins that should be removed sooner.

Clean Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Waves\

This is useful when a background process is doing something wrong.
When the background servers are not working properly, the following issue occurs.

  • Plugin scanning error (WaveShells returns 0 plugins)
  • Preinstalled browser not working
  • COSMOS (also in CR8 Sampler browser) won’t start or exits without license error

Run included “R2R_Kill_Waves_Background_Process.cmd”.
