Rendered audio doesn't sound the same as real time preview!

Man, that’s a bummer! This is a new computer I just built and for every plugin I’ve been skipping the VST2 installations thinking that surely all the latest software will handle VST3. Plus I didn’t want to see 2 versions of the same plugin listed just for reasons of tidiness in the list, and to reduce the amount of data used on my SSD drive.

Looks like I’ll be spending some time reinstalling…

Thanks again for your help!!!

I know what you mean. I had originally hidden all VST2 plugins from the plugin list in Wavelab so it’s less of a mess to look at but I’ve had to unhide a few VST2 versions to use until the VST3 version is stable.

FabFilter, Waves, Brainworx/Plugin Allaince, and NUGEN all seem to be okay regarding VST3. UAD and Sonnox are of course VST2 only right now so that solves that.

I’ve been hearing a difference in the rendered file as well.
I tested all used plugins one by one and they all worked individually. But when I render the whole thing it doesn’t sound the same… (if it matter it sounds baser with less details up top and less separation)
Is it possible that once they’re all active the render doesn’t work properly?

I was hoping to switch from Protools to Wavelab for a project I’m working on but I think I’m gonna have to finish the job in protools unfortunately.

I’m using plugins from Softube, Plugin-Alliance, DMG audio, Leapwing and SIR audio tools on this project.
