lost plugins??

[jmorris]

I have an mbox 2. Loaded some plugins into it. Waves. Everything cool. Went bak to computer, fired it up, opened protools..no more plugins? Any clues? windows xp.protools 7.3.1

Checked the unused plugins folder?

Sorry to ask, but are these legitimate plugins?

[jmorris]

yes they are. The other funny thing is,I reinstalled them,now they are there,dont go away. The first time installing them I just put them in the protools folder I use for projects.Second time, I used the default install location. However, after second install,the plugins are not "sorted",meaning eq. delay,reverbs are all over the place.You have the dropdown list of plugins..they are just where ever they feel like being and in duplicate. Example, if I go to eq., there will be compressors,delays,eq.

No idea with that, but they should go into the correct menus.

Contact Waves.

another question is. I have the mbox 2 with ignition pack .It also has ilock. Now, the activation process is ...uh..man a pain. Or is that what the ilock does? I mean you have to go to every vendor it looks like,give codes, receive codes/authorizations.Unless Im missing something...which very well could be!

The ignition pack itself shouldn't require an iLok. It's the factory pack that does, and that should be already on the iLok.

The ignition pack is a collection of third party plugins, it shouldn't take long to activate them, but they're not all that anyway...
