Waves AU Reg Utility 12.8.0
Waves AU Reg Utility is a companion application that comes with Waves audio plugins and software bundles. It's used by music producers, audio engineers, and musicians to register and manage Audio Unit (AU) versions of Waves plugins within macOS. The utility scans for installed Waves AU plugins and ensures they are properly registered with the system so they can be recognized by Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) like Logic Pro, GarageBand, and other AU-compatible software. It's an essential tool for anyone using Waves plugins in their audio production workflow on Mac.
