    | Attribute | Details | |------------------------|----------------------------------------------| | File Type | VST3 Audio Plugin (Virtual Studio Technology 3) | | File Name | Waveshell1-vst3 14.0-x64.vst3 | | Architecture | 64-bit (x64) | | Version | 14.0 (part of Waves V14 release) | | Vendor | Waves Audio Ltd. | | Typical Location | C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ (Windows) | | Purpose | Host/load multiple Waves plugins from one .vst3 file |

    Waves often distributes its plugins across multiple shells. Why? Because the total number of plugins in a massive bundle like Mercury exceeds the memory or indexing limits of some older DAWs.

    If you see "Waveshell1," you are looking at the primary container. If this file fails, your essential mixing tools vanish.
