No tool is without friction. On some hosts, initial plugin scanning took longer than native VST3s, and older session templates required a short period of re-validation. GUI scaling on very high-DPI displays showed minor inconsistencies across some plugin windows, a quibble in 2026, but one that can disrupt a perfectionist’s workflow. Support and updates are the usual tradeoff: rely on Waves’ cadence for fixes and expect occasional maintenance windows.
