AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWaves Nx received native Apple Silicon support as part of Waves V13, released in late 2021. If you are still running an older Intel-only build of Waves Nx under Rosetta 2, you can update to the native version through Waves' standard update mechanism. Visit the Waves website, log in to your account, and check for available updates to V13 or later — your existing licenses will carry over. The update path depends on your Waves subscription: if your Update Plan is current, the upgrade to V13 is free; otherwise you will need to renew your Update Plan first before updating. Once installed, the native build will run noticeably faster and with lower CPU load on M-series Macs during mixing and monitoring sessions.
