No effects when rendering

Post by ivaranz » Tue Jul 18, 2017 11:53 am

Hi, I need help to seek the reason why this is suddenly happening: When I render a track from arrangement view my effects are not rendering with it. All effects are Waves and I have done this hundreds of times earlier without any problems. The effects are currently on the track, but the same happens when they are put on the master track. The rendered track sounds like the original dry recording. The playback of the track in Live has the expected effects on it. I just cannot figure out what is happening.
Thanks!

Could perhaps be that you're not exporting what you think. Are you sure you're playing back only the arrangement (I'm assuming this is what you want exported)? If not, you could have automation somewhere that turns off or reroutes the effects or changes the mix amount or whatever. Especially look out for old tracks and dummy clips with devices that can affect other tracks as well as track deactivation/activation automation.

While this would be atypical, sometimes things like this can happen inadvertently.

To (hopefully) fix such an issue, turn off all clips with the master track stop button and then reactivate the arrangement with the "Back to Arrangement" button.
Make some music!

I experience same problem with waves in Ableton. Never happened to me before either.

Who has the solution on this?
