Don't even have a decently working computer to try this out right now, but big thanks for that my friend, big favour there...
if you don't know already, the waves '15th anniv artist presets' can be free if you click on the engineer/producers face at the bottom scrollable section. here's a link http://www.waves.com/Content.aspx?id=5242#presets. so far there's been three, pensado, wedges, and lilywhite. might be good for reference and as a starting point. pensado offers the most quantity wise while lilywhite utilizes the emu api, ssl, and v.
Jim... You may need to use the shell2vst utility to get it to work in FL. Waves has so many different Waveshells that sometimes Fruity and some other DAWS don't recognize the interface.
I posted the shell2vst somewhere on this board... can't find the thread...
Anyway here it is again.

Simply copy the shell2vst.exe to your VST plugin folder e.g. c:/program files/steinberg/vst
execute the shell2vst.exe by dragging the waveshell 5.9 (or whatever it is) file on it... it should generate a folder called 'waves'... within that, will include new files to support any DAW.
