I’ve been reporting this to Weiss beta for a few months now and they are finally just starting to look at it. The problem is within the plugin so currently, there are only workarounds as suggested above.
Hopefully Softube releases a fix sooner than later. I didn’t have this problem with the DeEsser plugins but the EQ1 seems to have this problem but after months of knowing about it, they haven’t fixed it yet.
I don’t think this plug is worth any sort of work around as there are many other good digital EQs out there. FabFilter and DMG EQ among many others work well in WaveLab today.
Currently my workaround now is to bake the FX in ProTools prior to sequencing in Wavelab. I do hope that they fix the issue as I think the clip FX feature in Wavelab is highly intuitive and supports a good workflow.
FWIW… TDR plugs seem to work fine so far in WL10 too.
Yes. I tried telling Softube that before they release such an iconic mastering EQ that they should make sure it works in perhaps the largest cross-platform mastering DAW but here we are
I did get indication that they are finally looking into the bug so hopefully the next Softube update solves it.
And yes, Clip FX in the montage is what makes WaveLab unique and amazing. I’m in the habit of testing any new plugins that I introduce into my workflow because if you’re a new WaveLab user, you may find that some plugins are not well tested or supported in WaveLab and then you have to reach out to the plugin developer to see if they can test and support WaveLab to resolve any bugs such as this one.
Definitely a new WaveLab user. Is there a compiled list of plug-ins that are known to work well? Or a compiled list of plugs that have bugs would be useful too!
I never have problems with Weiss EQ/Weiss maximizer If I use ITB. ( Mac/Mojave)
I have problems using External Fx. and Plug ins. I need to insert 3 second silence before Audi.
I don’t know of a formal list exits but historically, IK plugins have rendering issues, McDSP just crashes, Melda can have GUI issues, and I’m sure I’ll think of more I’m forgetting now.
I agree that a list would be good to compile and have online to view.
I stick with FabFilter, DMG, Sonnox, Goodhertz, Plugin Alliance, Leapwing, Tokyo Dawn, Sonnox, UAD, Oeksound, and most Waves and iZotope are OK in WaveLab.
The Weiss DeEsser series from Softube never gave me troubles in WaveLab but as soon as I tested the EQ I noticed the rendering problem.
Have you tried rendering the Weiss EQ when there are tight heads and tails on the audio clip? It’s easy to miss if you have a second or more of dead air on a clip, or maybe if you are at a lower sample rate…
But my experience on Mac Mojave is that the Weiss EQ doesn’t render correctly in the first few hundred milliseconds or the last, and this can be worsened by working at 96k and/or having a number of other plugins involved in the processing chain. I know another user reporting the same thing.
I was excited to finally use this classic EQ but in my experience, it’s not quite stable in WaveLab.
Thanks for this list! Super appreciate it. And BTW… super grateful for that tutorial you posted on YouTube. Saved me hours of time getting up and running. finger’s crossed on the EQ1 that it’s fixed at some point. It really is an incredible EQ… made me rethink my position on plug-ins in general.
I just received word that Softube has fixed the problem with the EQ-1 in WaveLab. Now I suppose we just wait for the public update of the plugin, hopefully soon.

Yes. They contacted me (indirectly), and then they were told how to do things correctly for the VST latency handling.
This is how communication should work with VST manufacturers, rather than accusing WaveLab of all evils
+1 for the eq1 being nothing to write home about as well. It causes very noticeable unwanted clipping if pushed. Kinda regret buying it and Il have a hard time selling it because I upgraded to the bundle, so my only licence for it covers everything in the weiss. However, im loving their germanium compressor
Hi, you deleted your post and i don’t remember exactly what your response was…i read it though.
The problem in my system is somewhere else i think. Right now even wihtout any plugins i get pops and clicks on a file. And weirdly this starts if i add a second track to the project, even though its muted the unmuted previously normal sounding file/channel starts adding noises as if crossfades are missing or so (its 1 event but just to describe the issue)
Files are on a external harddrive (usb 3)…maybe wavelab is not able to pull the file from harddrive fast enough when playing back…i will try some other stuff but i need to send an entire album in 10 hours or so and…this is a major pita
I deleted it because for some reason, I thought you were taking about the GUI bug that seems to be fixed.
I just did my basic rendering test using Weiss EQ1 and DS1-Mk3 and everything seems to be OK with the rendering, at least when these plugins are on their own and no other plugins are involved.
There doesn’t appear to be any troubles at the start, end, or middle of the files, or in general. Everything is rendering correctly here.
Thx, i will give it a shot. right now i am bumping into another issue, it just happened now and i can’t solve it.
I am doing stem mastering with multiple tracks. listening back in the montage all sounds tight. after the export there is milisecond misallignment of tracks i can hear. its more than loosing the groove, sounds pretty untight. whats causing this? did not happen earlier today with other projects.
i am using fabilter, softube and UAD plugins on tracks in montage, also on groups and master out. on mastersection there is only lin diether.
