WaveLab-specific Plug-insWaveLab-specific plug-ins use the plug-in format of WaveLab, and cannot be used with other applications.
ResamplerThis plug-in is a professional sample rate converter providing exceptional transparency and preservation of the frequency content. It is only available in the Master Section.
DuckerThis plug-in lets you control (modulate) the volume of clips placed on a track with the signal of one or more clips placed on the next adjacent track below it. The Ducker plug-in can only be used as a clip effect in the audio montage.
LevelerThis plug-in is useful for correcting an imbalance or adjusting levels between stereo channels, or for mixing down to mono.
MasterRigMasterRig allows you to master audio material in an intuitive and creative way. It offers high-class sound quality, accuracy, flexibility, and control.
Peak MasterThis is a basic plug-in that minimizes peaks in your audio file, allowing a louder mix without clipping. It is useful in taming dynamic instruments.
RestoreRigRestoreRig allows you to remove noise from an audio recording with different restoration modules. The noise can be an impulsive noise (DeClicker), an ambient noise (DeNoiser), or a low tonal noise (DeBuzzer)
SilenceThis plug-in provides a simple way of inserting a precise period of silence at the start or at the end of an audio file. Use this plug-in to add silence at the end of a file, so that the tail of a reverb plug-in does not cut immediately at the end of the file.
Stereo ExpanderThis plug-in is a stereo width enhancer that makes a stereo signal sound wider. It gives better results from real stereo material, as opposed to mono channels panned to different positions in the stereo image.
Steinberg VST 3 Plug-insIn WaveLab there is no limitation to the use of VST plug-ins. They can be used wherever plug-ins can be inserted.
AutoPanThis auto-pan effect provides several parameters to modulate the left/right stereo position. You can use presets or create individual curves for the modulation waveform. AutoPan also allows for chopping effects by linking the modulation of left and right channel.
Brickwall LimiterBrickwall Limiter ensures that the output level never exceeds a set limit.
Channel ExtractorThis plug-in allows you to only keep the left or the right channel of a stereo stream.
ChorusThis plug-in is a single-stage chorus effect. It doubles the audio that is sent into it with a slightly detuned version.
CompressorCompressor reduces the dynamic range of the audio, making softer sounds louder or louder sounds softer, or both.
DistortionDistortion adds crunch to your tracks.
GateGating, or noise gating, silences audio signals below a set threshold. As soon as the signal level exceeds the threshold, the gate opens to let the signal through.
LimiterLimiter is designed to ensure that the output level never exceeds a set output level, to avoid clipping in following devices.
MonoDelayThis is a mono delay effect that can either be tempo-based or use freely specified delay time settings.
RoomWorks SERoomWorks SE is a smaller version of the RoomWorks plug-in. RoomWorks SE delivers high quality reverberation, but has fewer parameters and is less CPU demanding than the full version.
StereoDelayStereoDelay has two independent delay lines with freely specified delay time settings.
StereoEnhancerStereoEnhancer expands the stereo width of (stereo) audio material. It cannot be used with mono files.
StudioEQStudio EQ is a high-quality 4-band parametric stereo equalizer. All four bands can act as fully parametric peak filters. In addition, the low and high bands can act as either shelving filters (three types) or as cut filters (low-pass/high-pass).
Tube CompressorThis versatile compressor with integrated tube-simulation allows you to achieve smooth and warm compression effects. The VU meter shows the amount of gain reduction. Tube Compressor features an internal side-chain section that lets you filter the trigger signal.
VSTDynamicsVSTDynamics is an advanced dynamics processor. It combines three separate effects: Gate, Compressor, and Limiter, covering a variety of dynamic processing functions.
Legacy Plug-insUnder Windows, a set of plug-ins is provided for compatibility with audio projects that referenced these effects when using earlier versions of WaveLab. An audio montage which referenced these plug-ins would otherwise require cumbersome user intervention to open, for example.
Dithering Plug-insDithering plug-ins add small quantities of noise to a signal to reduce the audibility of low level distortion in a digital recording. A small amount of random noise is added to the analog signal before the sampling stage, reducing the effect of quantization errors.
Internal DitheringThis is a WaveLab-specific plug-in that provides a simple way of adding a small amount of noise to the rendered signal to improve the apparent signal-to-noise ratio of the output.
