VST Effect Previews Fine But Doesn't Apply

This is my second time posting to the forum today so I hope I'm not overdoing it, but I just figured out my last problem only to run into another one that seems impossible to figure out. I'm trying to apply reverb using a VST2 plugin called BREVERB 2 to a bunch of files. It seems as though no matter how I approach it, the reverb will not apply to the file.

I've tried:

1. Inserting BREVERB 2 as an insert to the waveform and clicking "apply" on the Effects Rack.

2. Going to "Effects > VST > BREVERB 2" and then applying it from there

3. Putting the waveform into a Multitrack project, inserting BREVERB 2 onto the track, and then exporting that mulitrack session.

Every single time the reverb loads and previews just fine, then when i try to export or apply the effect, the resulting waveform doesn't have the reverb on it. Any idea what's going on?
