Use AES17 Standard for RMS Values

Determines how RMS values are reported.

  • If this option is activated, the displayed level for a full scale sine audio file is 0 dB. This follows the AES17 standard.

  • If this option is deactivated, the displayed level for a full scale sine audio file is -3 dB.

Pitch of A3 (Used in Frequency To Note Conversions)

Sets the reference pitch in WaveLab Cast. The frequency-to-note conversions take this pitch into account.

Create Windows-Compatible File Names (macOS only)

Some characters in file names, for example, | and \, are not supported by Windows. If this option is activated and you save a file, WaveLab Cast converts unsupported characters to characters that are supported by Windows.
