how do we permanently get rid of this auto-filled “Audio Montage” that gets inserted into the destination path when rendering? it’s easy to manually delete, but i’d rather it not show up at all as i don’t want WL to dictate where my files should be rendered.
Click once on “Audio Montage”
and X Delete Contextual Folder

yes, i know you can delete it manually… but i would like for it not to show up at all. it is an extra step we didn’t have to do in previous versions. would prefer a setting to permanently remove this feature.
i would imagine engineers who have been using WL for many years and have a system of working don’t now want WL to automatically define where they render their files.
Somehow I’ve developed a way to never see this button.
I always use Render Presets for rendering so I’m guessing in that case, this new button gets removed.
Try restart WL and see…

i use render presets as well, and the button inserts itself into my path!
Hmm. I’ll take a closer look to see how I’ve been able to permanently remove that button unless for some reason I want it to be enabled.
It is possible.
thanks, and i’ll keep an eye on the behavior as i work and report any findings.
Hopefully PG will know the answer. I just looked again and I can only trigger that Audio Montage button to appear when I intentionally enable it, which is basically never.
Otherwise, it stays off as it should.
There must be something else going on to trigger it to keep coming back but I currently can’t guess what that might be.
To make a story short, do the following to have the WaveLab 11 behavior:
- Set the folder you like
- disable the option “Keep Independent Folder for Each Source File”
More explanations now. WaveLab 12 offers more rendering options for the locations.
- Option “Keep Independent Folder for Each Source File”
When a montage is created, by default the rendering location is the contextual folder (what you don’t want; but see further also).
- contextual folders
This is actually a useful feature for those who render audio relatively to the montage root (or project root). One interest is that such contextual folders are saved/restored with render presets.
See the manual
thanks, PG…
yes, that folder would show up every time after i quit and rebooted WL… i have tried the above of unchecking “keep independent…” and we’ll see if it gets rid of it next time i quit and reopen…
