Plug-in Windows for Master Section

In the plug-in windows of the Master Section, you can make settings for the effect plug-ins in the Master Section.

  • To show a plug-in window, click the effect slot in the Effects pane of the Master Section window.

Plug-in Chain

If Use Plug-in Chain Window is activated on the Settings pop-up menu of the Master Section, the effects of the active audio file are displayed in a plug-in chain at the top of the plug-in window.

You can right-click a plug-in tab or an empty tab to select a new plug-in for the slot.

Undo/Redo

Allows you to undo/redo the last operation. This undo/redo function is independent from the undo/redo function of WaveLab Pro. Each plug-in window has its independent undo/redo history. The undo/redo function is also independent for the A and B settings of the Switch between A/B Settings function.

Note

To undo, you can use the shortcut Alt/Opt-Z and to redo, you can use the shortcut Alt/Opt-Shift-Z. In order to use the shortcut, the plug-in window must be the active window. If the shortcut does not work, click the caption bar of a plug-in to make it the active window.

Switch between A/B Settings

Switches to setting B when setting A is active, and to setting A when setting B is active.

Note

To switch between A/B settings, you can use the shortcut Alt/Opt-T. In order to use the shortcut, the plug-in window must be the active window. If the shortcut does not work, click the caption bar of a plug-in to make it the active window.

Copy Settings to B

Copies the plug-in parameter setting A to plug-in parameter setting B, and vice versa.

Bypass Effect

If this option is activated, the plug-in is bypassed during playback and rendering. However, bypassing effects still consumes CPU power during playback. See also: Bypassing Effects vs. Switching Effects Off

Listen to Effect Signal Only

If this option is activated, the original signal is bypassed during playback to only hear the wet effect signal.

Channel Processing

Allows you to specify how a VST plug-in processes the stereo stream. You can process all channels or only the left, right, mid, or side channel. This allows any VST plug-in to become mid/side capable.

Solo (Bypass)

Soloes the plug-in.

Render in Place

Processes the audio in place. Bypassed plug-ins are excluded and the rendered audio is crossfaded at boundaries.

Monitoring Point

Lets other meters in WaveLab Pro, for example, Oscilloscope or Wavescope, monitor the signal directly after this plug-in.

If no monitoring point is specified, the monitoring point is after the Final Effects/Dithering section and before the Playback Processing section.

The Master Level meter of the Master Section always monitors the level after the faders.

Switch Effect On/Off

If you deactivate a plug-in, it is excluded from both playback and rendering. See also: Bypassing Effects vs. Switching Effects Off
