Waves has just released version 3.5 of thier plugins, and they promise *much* less processor drain, and more instances of each plug. This is a free upgrade for users of version 3.0 or above. Also included are the final release versions of the Waveshell-VST plugs for Windows (finally!).

{Note on the Waveshell-VST plugs: I have been part of the Public Beta on these, and when they work, they are great...unfortunately, I have been resorting back to the Direct-X versions since the VST ones seem to disappear when I close down Cubase, and come back later...hopefully this is now fixed in this final release...the VST versions are much faster loading, and are obviously easier to automate from within Cubase.}
