Master Section Plug-in Window

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

  • To show a plug-in window, click the effect slot.

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.

Bypass Processing

If this option is activated, this plug-in is bypassed during playback, and optionally for a rendering operation. To deactivate an effect when rendering, right-click an effect slot, and deactivate Active in the Effects pane of the Master Section.

Bypass Modes

Right-click Bypass Processing to open the Bypass Modes pop-up menu. Here, you can select Bypass Effect or Bypass Source 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.

Presets
