10 – 228 Master Section
Bypass, Mute and Preset
As you can see in the figure above, the three buttons above the actual
panel are common to both kinds of control panel windows. They have the
following functionality:
Clicking the Bypass button will temporarily bypass the effect.
Unlike turning off the On button for the slot, the bypass function does not free up any pro-
cessing power. Note that you can bypass all effects except one by using the Solo button for
a slot. It’s also possible to bypass all effects by using the global bypass button in the Effects
pane. Also note that bypassing effects is for playback only, and does not affect rendering.
To deactivate an effect when rendering, use the On/Off buttons in the Master Section ef-
fect pane.
The Mute button turns off the signal output from the effect.
This means that you will no longer hear your signal because it won’t even reach the next
stage (either another slot or the master faders).
The Preset button allows you to select and edit presets for the effect.
This is described in the section “Working with effect processor presets on page 229.
Standard panels
A standard panel shows parameter names and values in the display to the
left. To make settings, use the slider beside the corresponding parameter.
Custom panels
An effect plug-in can actually have any control panel that the plug-in de-
signer desires. There are several examples of custom panel plug-ins in-
cluded with WaveLab.
For information about the panels for additional plug-ins, see the docu-
mentation for each plug-in.
