Fix Waves Tune Not Scanning - Outside session limits.

By TOM BOWSER

Issue: Waves Tune no longer scans the audio track you're attemping to pitch correct or add effects to.

Waves Tune has a 10 minute audio processing time limit per track in a session. When you reach the 10 minute mark on the DAW timeline it stops processing the track. I've outlined the "Outside session limits." message within the image below.

To use Waves Tune beyond 10 minutes on a track you must:

  1. Left click in your DAW's timeline to place your cursor at the point you want scanning to begin.
  2. Left click the small triangle in the top-right corner of Waves Tune to access the dropdown menu and select "Acquire Session Start Time from Timeline". See the image below.
