9 out of 10 plugins missing in mix

[rogerm83111000]

I have been opening mixers recorded over the last few years and have been getting messages like this one ""Warning 9 out of 10 effects referenced by the file could not be found"" when the waves plugins stopped working under VST  I did speak to someone about it, I guess it was waves, at the time they said they did not make VST Plugins only VST 3 they certainly worked in Audition under VST, now I have many mixers with this issue it's a complete mess they will all have to be remixed with the same plugin under VST 3... does anyone one have a solution. (this doesn't happen with tape recorders) !

"this doesn't happen with tape recorders" 

Nor with wax cylinders either I suspect 😉

You haven't told us what version of Audition you are running or what version of waves plugins you are running or even if you are on a PC or Mac or pretty much anything at all that might help.

However , I'm going to take a stab and suggest that either the plugins aren't where Audition expects them to be or they are 32bit which are no longer supported in later versions of Audition

You Right they arn't where they use to be because I used them as VST not VST3 AND vst STOPPED WORKING IN AUDITION SOME TIME AGO, THAT's WHAT THE ISSUE IS the plugins are fine if I use them as VST3

As I stated in the initial post Waves stated that they never released VST plugins only VST 3's but they showed up as

VST and I used them as such untill an update some years ago and they stop appearing under VST, they use to be available as both VST AND VST3  AND I ALWAYS USED THE AS VST now when I open old mixes, Audition can't find them, that's the problem , there is no easy answer to the problem, I can't explain why all this happed but that's ther story. All they Plugins are 64 bit and only a few years old it's only happening in 2 year old mixes.
