FX Teleport and missing Waves GUI's

I'm trying to use a few Waves plugs via FX Teleport however the GUI fails to load. Instead all I see is a blue FX Teleport wrapper window with a slider and 0db on it.

If I open another plug such as a FabFilter for example, the GUI works like a charm.

I did think it was a VST3 issue so I have removed all trace of anything but VST2.4.

Any thoughts?

Guess that might have something to do with the Waves shell.
An assumed 99% of today's plugins are unshelled, so 1 .DLL is 1 plugin.
Except Waves plugins.
With Waves, you're basically not loading "the plugin .DLL" but a "generic .DLL" that loads the actual plugin, a kind-of wrapper, at least that's how I understand it.
I don't work here, I just feed the trolls.

If it's indeed to do with the waveshell you could try with shell2vst, this makes separate dll's out of the shelled ones.

No idea if it could work though...

Hmmmm perhaps one of the many plugin chainers could work.

Indeed it does. BlueCat's PatchWork works an absolute treat.

Very very happy now 8)

Oh boy, this thing is even better than I could ever have imagined.

On my £50 slave PC (Core 2 Duo Dell w/ 2GB RAM) I'm running 3x Waves H-Reverb, 1x dbx160, 1x Kramer Tape & 1x API2500. The CPU usage is only 40%! Oh and the 5x Patchwork's.

And on the DAW the CPU usage has dropped from >100% to around 50%.

I don't know about Waves, but when I tried FX Teleport it worked good for about 8 or so VSTi's, when nearing 12 it totally caved, while my audio/midi sound card networking far outperformed FXT by 3X's the amount of VSTi's I could run. Besides that, my authorizations were constantly getting kicked off. After both my XP machines crashed from attempting too many VSTi's I stopped using it & began experimenting with Cubase's VST System Link, which took a long time to figure out, but that's what works best for me. I have it running on 3 XP machines, which is far more resources than I actually need.
