An update for anyone else who has this problem, uninstalling all the v10 Waves plugins (via Waves Central), then reinstalling everything except Bass Slapper seems to have worked. Might just be a problem with the new Bass Slapper plugin, or maybe I had a corrupt install.
To rescan correctly, I had to delete the Renoise plugin cache:
- Go to Help -> Show The Preferences Folder menu
- Quit Renoise
- Delete the CachedVSTs_x64.db and CachedFailedVSTs_x64.db files in that preferences folder
- Relaunch Renoise.
If your Renoise isn’t set to rescan plugins automatically, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Plug/Misc and click the Rescan button. I had “Rescan previously failed plugins” and “Run all plugins in sandboxes” checked, but I’m not sure if that’s necessary.
The Gold + RenMaxx bundle takes so long to scan that Windows thinks Renoise has stopped responding, but if you keep clicking “wait for program to respond” it will get there. I can’t imagine what it’s like for anyone with the Mercury bundle…
