Hey guys,
I’m scared here.
WAVELAB 11.0.30 (build 114)
MAC OS Big Sur 11.6.5
After rendering, the final track sounds different than it was supposed to.
Not only in frequency response but also there’s a difference in Loudness happening.
I made some tests, like render in real-time, etc, and still the same problem.
I thought it was a plugin (which may also be), so I took them out and rendered the track. The resulting file sounded about the same BUT there was a huge DIFFERENCE IN LUFS from the original.
In this case, the original file was -23LUFS and rendered version -18.6.
With the plugins ON in the clipFX, the result was QUIETER (+1.4LU)
EDITED: **I’ve tried it out and I’m getting the same problem in any Montage FX section and also in the Master Section. it’s everywhere. Very bad behavior. ** (clip, track or output).
The scenario above suggests to me that maybe I’m getting two signals of the track summed when rendering, so when it’s the very same it gets louder, when it has plugins the introduced phase changes are probably subtracting parts of the signal.
BUT I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO LOOK FOR THIS PROBLEM
I already tried to change my interface setup, channels, and everything else in this field but I lack knowledge about internal copy-busses and things like that in Wavelab.
I might be pressed some keystroke I don’t know about that messed up some configuration. But couldn’t find anything wrong here as far as my experience goes.
(my experience, BTW is very small in Wavelab still. I came from Pro Tools by the end of the year)
PS: I wasn’t using any other processing chain. only ClipFX, the master monitor section, and the final FX only for a Dither.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks!
