Plug-in Windows for Audio Montages

In plug-in windows for audio montages, you can display the effect plug-ins that are used for clips, tracks, track groups, or the montage output. You can display all effects in one plug-in window or have separate windows for each effect, for all track effects, all track group effects, all clip effects, or all montage output effects.

When you add a new effect plug-in to a track, a track group, a clip, or the montage output, the plug-in window opens automatically. In the plug-in window, the effects are displayed in a plug-in chain by default. To change the processing order of the effects, you can drag each effect to a new position in the chain.

You can adjust the handling of the effects in the plug-in window in the Plug-in Window Handling dialog.

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 an operation, you can use the shortcut Alt/Opt-Z and to redo it, 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 the 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 A/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.

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
