I understand that I can save presets in many plug-ins using that plug-in’s built-in preset manager. But it would be cool if the Wavelab VST Plug-In Preset Manager would also be an option.
I had this issue for awhile with certain plugins and it wasn’t the final folder, it was a folder upstream that was locked. I think the issue came from manually copying my /Users/user/Library/Audio/Presets folder from my previous Mac.
Did you happen to do that too or was a totally natural install?
Hi PG.
I wish it was that easy. I’ve done that many times but a random code keeps appearing in the ISRC field. It’s stopping me from making a DDP image as the software keeps saying invalid ISRC code. It’s really got me puzzled.
Sorry for all these beginner questions but I’m migrating from Sonic after 25 years so I haven’t quite got my head around all the Wavelab details.
I know the issue and for some reason it’s really finicky. To clear an ISRC code in the CD Tab, I have to double click the code to highlight it, quickly press the DELETE key (the one two rows above the RETURN key), and then press the RETURN key.
This should clear it but again, it’s more picky than it should be. I think I’ve just gotten used to it.
Thanks for the tip JP. I will definitely try this once I’m back in the studio on Monday.
If I can ask one last question? Overall I’ve had a great transition going from soundblade to Wavelab. Never going back. One thing that scares me a little is the ‘crashing’ on start up. This has happened to me twice over the last few months where Wavelab simply crashed 50 times in a row upon trying to start up. This can be emabarrasing when clients are in the same room. Is there are list of remedies you can list to fix this issue? Trashing preferences seems to help, but I was wondering if there were other fixes for this. Is it possible that clocking can cause this crashing? If the system is clocked to 44k but I’m trying to open a 48k project, could this cause a crash upon booting up? Thanks for letting me chew your ear on these issues.
This definitely shouldn’t happen and doesn’t ever happen here. If it’s crashing that much, there should be a crash report that you can share here (probably in a new thread) for PG to analyze.
Crash reports can be found here:
/Users/username/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/
You should see some WaveLab ones in there after it crashes. If the crash report isn’t helpful, PG can tell you how to open the Diagnostics Tab in the Preferences to hone in on the issue.
Deleting the Preferences can usually help but is certainly not ideal, especially for somebody like myself who has tons of custom presets, settings, etc.
All I can think of is maybe you have a plugin in the global master section that remains when you quit WaveLab and causes a crash on startup. For more than a few reasons, I never use the global master section for anything.
I’ve not experienced WaveLab crashing if the montage or audio file that is open doesn’t match the clock sample rate so I’d lean towards it being something else like a plugin left in the master section if you’re using that.
Many thanks gentlemen. I generally have the Adptr ‘A/B’ plugin left on in the master section, so from now on I will colse this at the end of a session. You’ve both been super helpful.
