Disable loading plugins?

Hi!

Is there a way to start Wavelab without it loading plugins?

Thanks!

If you are speaking about loading an Audio Montage without this plug-in, yes this is possible:

No. I’m talking about loading Wavelab without any plug-ins/vst’s etc.

I have not been able to get Wavelab to run beyond the first splash screen since version 11. I am wondering if one of my plug-ins or vst is causing the crash after the splash screen.

There is no way to do that. But you could try to activate some diagnostics temporarily.
Add these lines to the Startup.ini file:

logExternal=true
logging=true
diagExtreme=true
LogRules=@ByteArray(Log.PluginScanning)

On macOS, this file is located
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/WaveLab Pro 13/Startup.ini

and in Windows:
C:\Users[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\WaveLab Pro 13\Startup.ini

Then while WaveLab scans the plugins, small text files, named as plugin names, will be created there:
WaveLab Pro 13\Cache\PluginLogs\

By checking the latest created file, you might find the plugin that causes a problem.
