Best practice here: you can install our VST plug-ins in the default location and simply add the installation path in Cubase's preferences as shown in this article: Plug-in Administration in Cubase 9 (and higher) The following video explains in detail how to administer your VST plug-ins on Windows computers in general. Today we will learn how to add effects plugins in Cubase. Some people get confused about when use inserts or sends to add an effect to a track. Usually, when we want to process a signal, using an effect as a modifier, we insert it on a track. Start Cubase, open the Studio menu and select the entry VST Plug-in Manager. In the lower left corner of the VST Plug-in Manager window, open the Plug-in Manager Settings by clicking the cogwheel icon. In the Plug-in Manager Settings window, click on the Add Path button.

After I upgraded to Cubase 9 and went “totally 64bit” I had a problem with my DAW not finding the 54 Waves plugins. I also had the same problem with Maschine and Waves.

A quick search on the forums showed that this is a common issue but there is lots of disagreement about how to actually fix it.

The problem occurs because both 32bit and 64bit Waves plugins all sit in the same folder within Program Files (x86) – a location normally used for 32bit stuff! /radiodj-vst-plugins.html.

Try as you may by pointing your DAW to the right location, both Cubase and Maschine were not having it!

I tried lots suggestions before finally discovering a post on the Steinberg Forums by user KurtOzzthat did the trick – actually instructions from Waves support:
