FAQ

Common questions

Quick answers about installing, activating, and using CodWaves plugins.

How do I install CodWaves plugins?

Download the installer for your OS, run it, and open the plugin in your DAW. The plugin will prompt you to sign in the first time.

Are CodWaves plugins compatible with Apple Silicon?

Yes. The macOS builds ship as universal binaries that run natively on Apple Silicon and Intel systems.

Can I use the plugin on multiple computers?

Each license allows up to three active activations at a time. If you need to free up a slot, you can revoke an activation from the customer panel in your account and then activate on a new machine.

Note: if you chose offline activation when first opening the plugin, your license is permanently tied to that device and cannot be transferred to another computer.

Where can I learn how to gain stage my tracks?

We keep a full guide on gain staging and how to automate it with WaveBalance in our auto gain staging guide. It covers vocals, stems, and full mixes, plus which levels to aim for.
