BB Tubes did not show up in DAW either in adding Mercury or individually
I have the same prob. NO BB Tubes incl.
I did notice that BB Tubes is listed in Windows at
c:\ program files (x86)\waves\plug -ins v14\bb tubes bundle
However, adding that path in my DAW for plugins still does not load.
If anyone else gets it to load please post your findings
