WaveLab’s Plug-in manager (Preferences > Plug-ins > Organize) forces users to specify one - and only one - folder for each plugin. This is limiting and unusual for a DAW. Typically, users organize plug-ins by function and/or application so that de-essers, for example, are found in a Dynamics folder and perhaps a Vocals folder. Likewise, a vocal harmonizer or doubler would not be out of place in a Vocals folder, a Pitch Shift folder, and even a Modulation folder. Regardless of your own preference, the point is this: There is often no one best category for a particular plug-in and the easiest solution is to put the plug-in in multiple folders, so they’re always easy to find.
And if you frequently jump between DAWs, it’s jarring to find a plug-in missing from a folder you’re used to finding it in. “Oh, cripes, where do I keep the bit-crushing, filter-modulated, pitch-shifters, again?”
Even Steinberg’s own Cubase allows this, so why not WaveLab?
Thank you, Steinberg, for your consideration.
