I don’t use the external gear plugin, but the input plugin. Wavelab is amazing, but you are correct in these things… I’m really liking Wavelab but these are some serious obstacles in the way of switching for me… Really nice option but pretty much useless this way if it only works on the master section… I kinda like smart bypass (make it work with LUFS instead of RMS though, feature request!) but is there no way to actually hear the original unaltered audio? It says original audio but actually includes clip effects (and perhaps track, haven’t tested that). I don’t just want to bypass the plugin I want it to disable. When the external gear plugin is on the master section and I bypass the entire master section, it still sends audio out to my analog chain… I don’t want that, I mean, come on at least give me an option to choose. I’ve tried mapping to plugin custom parameters in the preferences but to no avail… How does this work? The manual basically says it should just work.

I set a remote device (MIDI controller) in the preferences but it still says ‘This plug-in is not associated with a remote control’ and it won’t map controls. I can’t figure out how to make plugins receive midi. Also iZotope Insight, I can drag the window and more grey area will appear but the plugin UI stays the same size. For example the newer Fabfilter plugins, they are normally freely resizable.

I cannot seem to resize plugins like I can in other DAWs. I run into a few problems though, maybe someone can help me: Considering switching to it in my mastering studio. I’m trialing Wavelab Pro 9.5 and love most things about it.
