Working with groups
The Master Section plug-ins can be organized into groups. This is done
by adding subfolders to the Master Section folder and then dragging
Plug-in icons into these folders.
When you then select from plug-in menus or display lists of plug-ins, the
organization you have created will be reflected in the menu/list.
• To create a group, click the New Group button, enter a name and press
[Return].
The group will initially appear at the end of the list, but when you start using it, the list will be
resorted so that the groups are displayed in alphabetical order.
• To delete a group, select it and click Delete Group.
If the group contains any plug-ins, they will not be deleted. Instead, they will appear in the
Master Section section, outside all other groups.
• Moving plug-ins between groups is done by dragging and dropping, just
as when dragging files in the Windows Explorer.
• If you lose track of your changes and wish to return to the state that the
list was in when you first opened the dialog, click Undo Changes.
• If you want to restore everything to the default “factory settings”, click
“Set default”.
These settings are stored in the files “WaveLab/Presets/Plug-ins/PlugIn-
PrefAE.set” and “WaveLab/System/plugIns.set”. If you ever encounter prob-
lems with “lost” plug-ins, delete these files and the program will re-scan
and build a new list of plug-ins the next time you launch it. This can also be
achieved by clicking the “Force plugin dectection at next launch” button in
the Preferences–VST dialog (see below).
Here, a “Dynamics” group has
been created, which then
appears in the Master Section.
