I have been able to reproduce the issue on different macs with macOS Sierra. I don’t know if this problem also occurs with previous version of OS X.
Increasing ‘logger-startup-timeout’ from 5 seconds to 10 seconds in reference.conf seems to solve the problem.

[mikeolteanu]

if you want to modify the reference.conf file, you need to unpack the jar file, edit the config and rebuild the jar, this way:

cd ~/waves (or the folder where waves-0.3.6.jar is located)
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
jar xf ../waves-0.3.6.jar

edit reference.conf and increase logger-startup-timeout to 10s

jar cfM ../waves-0.3.6.jar .
cd ..
rm -rf tmp
