Handling VST plug-ins
If you have VST plug-ins installed on your computer that you don’t need in
WaveLab, you can tell the program to ignore these on launch. This is
done in the Preferences–VST dialog. It is possible to exclude single VST
plug-ins, entire folders and subfolders containing VST plug-ins, and the
“Shared VST Plug-ins” folder (if present on your system). The methods for
doing this are all described below.
Note that unlike deactivating a plug-in in the Plug-in Manager (as described
in the section “Activating and deactivating plug-ins and groups” on page
754) which will only remove it from the plug-in menu in the Master Section,
“ignoring” a VST plug-in as described below will remove it from the whole
program, including the Montage.
Proceed as follows to set up which
VST plug-ins to use in WaveLab:
• Open the Preferences dialog from the Options menu, and select the VST
tab.
This contains the following items:
Item Description
Use VST plugin
shared folder
If you have Cubase installed on your computer, the effects
that
were included with Cubase can also be available in WaveLab, pro-
vided that they are installed in the “Shared VST Plug-ins” folder and
this checkbox is activated. Next time WaveLab is launched the plug-
ins in this folder will be available.
Optional extra VST
plugin folder
(WaveLab specific)
Here you can set a path to an “extra” VST plugin folder. As many Cu-
base plug-ins are not usable in WaveLab, you can set up a specific
folder containing all the VST plug-ins you wish to use in WaveLab.
Ignore plugins located
in the following folders
In this text field, you can type in the name of a folder or subfolder con-
taining VST plug-ins that you want to exclude.
If you want to exclude several folders, type in all their names, but sepa-
rate each name with a semicolon.
Do not load the
following plugins
In this list you can exclude individual plug-ins from being loaded by
adding them to the list. Common VST instrument plug-ins (which
cannot be used in WaveLab) are already added to the list.
Faster graphics refresh-
ing (consumes more
computer power)
This can be useful for plug-ins that display e.g. meters. If changed,
this option takes effect after closing and reopening the VST plug-in
window(s).
Force plugin detection
at next launch
Clicking this button lets WaveLab re-scan and build a new list of all
plug-ins next time it is launched.
