Waves V13 plugins are now also fully supported in the just-released Microsoft Windows 11 operating system. Further, Waves V13 updates include HiDPI graphics for select plugins plus additional improvements. Here's more details direct from the company...

The latest V13 updates join the new features recently released in Waves V12 and V12.7 plugins, including resizable plugin GUIs, the new Waves Preset Browser with instant text search, the new Waves User Preset System, and more.

Updating your plugins to V13 helps you future-proof your sessions and ensure your Waves plugins will remain fully compatible with the latest operating system and DAW versions. This way you can stop worrying about technical details and focus your attention on what matters most – your creative workflow.

To update to V13, your Waves plugins need to be covered by the Waves Update Plan, the complete care and support plan for Waves products. The Waves Update Plan comes free for one year with every new Waves plugin or bundle purchase and is renewable at any time afterwards. Owners of products covered by the Waves Update Plan also get:
