So I'm trying to set up some multiband compression on my output (so I can still hear the bass and not just nuke it with the HPF/EQ). I know you can do this through channel routing and I'm working on getting that setup going, but I have a license for some Waves plugins and it'd be much easier just to use a single instance of one instead of multiple instances of D16's frontier, channel routing, and EQ witchcraft.
The problem I'm having is that waveshell (v9) does not want to load. My guess is that the VST host doesn't go through whatever loading procedures it's expecting (typically, it opens a dialog when something such as cubase launches it for the first time, and scans through all of its available waves plugins) and directly copying the plugin DLLs doesn't work either (they only want to run in the shell; I think it's related to their current licensing scheme).
Is there any way around this, or does anyone know a freebie VST wrapper that I could use as an inbetween for those waves plugins?
P.S. I'm on windows so the linux/wine VST wrapper is out
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If EqualizerAPO does not load the WaveShell then probably the only way to go is use VAC to route output (VAC as default system playback device) through some software which is able to load the WaveShell and has I/O to take the VAC cable in and send the stream to sound card.

I'm having the same issue, but using WaveShell V10. Did you solve it?

If you don't have say DAW software there, you could try these freebies (dunno which of these supports WaveShell):

Hi, late to the party, I recently also being tripped by waves shell v9. Check if my code can help.

Use Fabfilter Pro-MB (multiband) it works natively with EQ-APO
