In the Audio Editor section, when saving a Project the Help popup says that the Master Section is saved as well but that is not happening.
Project is saved and i can reopen it but Master Section is not reconfigured to what it was when i saved the Project.
Is it a bug, did i do something wrong, am i missing a setting somewhere or is the Help info wrong?
The master section plugins are recalled on opening of project; you can check if you are opening the exact project file.
Saving project option is in the project menu and has a different shortcut.
Also, a project has to be closed, if you are working on other audio files (not related to your project file) and there is a menu item to close project.
While closing project there is option to save
Hi!
From what I can tell it works with Project and plugins in the Master Section
they are saved with the Project and load back when open again!
macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 and WaveLab 12.0.51
regards S-EH
It works, but there is maybe a misunderstanding.
Indeed, the master section, from WaveLab 12, is divided in two logical parts:
the playback section and all the rest.
The playback section is not part of the project (neither the so-called Master Section presets), because it is meant to be stable across projects.
But you can make it persistent by right-clicking on a speaker button at the very bottom of the master section and selecting this option:
Thankyou everyone for all the input.
Still i have some doubts.
The plugin that is not being saved with the Project was in this section:
I had one Limiter loaded in the Effects “rack” and upon reopening the saved Project, it isn’t there anymore.
It was not in a “Preset”, it was just there, being used.
Interestingly the Project reopens in exactly the same view as it was when saved: Spectrogram, Insert tab.
@Marker : all correct. Saved the right way, created a .wpr file and couldn’t have done an error when reopening as this is the only Project i have saved in the computer. Plugin in Effects “rack” is missing when reopening.
@S-EHansson : Hi! I must be doing something wrong. Using Windows 10 but same version of Wavelab as you.
@PG1 : thanks for the detailed info (stuff i didn’t know about!)
Is the “Effects” section part of the Project? I would expect so.
The single Plugin i was using in this editing session never gave me any trouble: Softube Weiss MM1 Mastering Maximizer.
The Effects setting with this single Plugin was not saved as a Preset and it’s not even hard to insert and configure it again but i was just surprised it disappeared when reopening the Project.
Maybe user error? Something must be wrong…
yes for sure
Can you try with other plugins?
This does not matter. The Master Section settings stored along the project, store the settings of each individual plugins.
But I forgot to mention. You need to have the following option enabled. Actually, the label is misleading and I need to change it: it should be “Restore Last Configuration at Next Start-Up or Project Loading”
That was it!!!
Solved!
I wasn’t closing WaveLab, only the Project.
Well remembered Mr. @PG1 !
May i suggest that instead of changing the label you simply add an option for “Restoring Configuration in Project Recall”.
I personally don’t need or want the Master Section to be restored after a Start-Up. I always open a session with a “blank slate”. Even in analog gear, no button is turned before any session.
But, it’s just a suggestion.
Most importantly, my “difficult encounter” with Projects is solved.
Thankyou!
