“Waves Central reported 'no internet connection' and failed to log in, despite a working connection.”
Hi Paul. I need help with Waves Central 15.3.2. It won’t log me in and I don’t know why. Tyson
Answered by Paul Andrews, Audio Support.
I received the above message from Tyson and we arranged to connect for a remote support session the following day.
Once Tyson and I were speaking on the phone and I was looking at his screen, he showed me the error that was appearing whenever he tried to launch Waves Central:
Sorry, we could not log you in: Make sure you have an internet connection
Solution
Waves Central uses a browser-based log-in system. Once launched the app opens a separate browser window (Chrome, Edge, Firefox etc) for the user to enter their username and password. On PC, the user can select which browser is used to launch web links in Settings – Default Apps.
The problem was that Tyson didn’t have any browser assigned as the default app for web links. I set Chrome as the default for all web content.
The next time we tried to launch Waves Central, it launched Chrome and took us to the Waves’ website.
Tyson entered his Username and Password and when he closed the browser, Waves Central was now logged in.
Tyson thanked me for my help, and I let him know I was around for any similar problems in the future.
If you need help with Waves Central or any other music application on your Mac or PC, please Get in Touch.

Paul reinstalled all my lost sample libraries, streamlined the storage on my computer so it works faster and fixed my corrupted disk. it took us a couple of sessions and he was friendly and patient throughout. He never made me feel stupid and never over-explained stuff I already knew - in fact he boosted my confidence. Would highly recommend. I've put him on speed dial!

Paul was brilliant, listened to the issues I had on Cubase and my home studio, worked methodically through potential problems and sorted everything. Amazing service, down to earth and explained everything so I
could understand. I am a very happy song writer once again thanks to Paul! Will be using Paul again in the future and highly recommend. Thanks Paul.

Honestly, if you're in any way stuck in a creative block because of the gear you have, you've more questions than answers about what the best setup should be for your flow, or even if you have very nuanced problems in your DAW/with your gear, the service Paul provides is second to none. Besides being an extremely nice guy, he knows his stuff and takes the time to understand what you want to get out of each session and makes sure all is good to go! Can't recommend him enough!

Paul provided as stellar service, worth every penny. I came to him with a genuine issue that was affecting my Logic Pro 11 album project regarding drums and midi maps and he solved my problem most efficiently. He was patient, courteous, quick thinking and highly knowledgeable. I will certainly consider using the service again and thoroughly recommend Audio Support -
Thank you Paul - you are a star :)

Working in Reaper.
Super knowledgeable, friendly, speaks in easy to understand terms.
Paul is helping us DAW newbies get in the game. Paul got my lost plugin files working again as well as showed me how to find missing wave files for projects that were loading incorrectly. Keep this man on speed dial.

Paul fixed in around half an hour some midi keyboard/controller problems I have been trying to solve but have had to live with for around two years! He is very knowledgeable and patient and the Any Desk link worked perfectly. I wish I had found his website sooner and wouldn't hesitate to call on his services again.
