Playback Speed Dialog

This dialog allows you to specify the playback speed of the active audio file and all clips of the active audio montage.

  • To open the Playback Speed dialog, right-click Playback Speed on the transport bar, and select Edit Playback Speed.

Presets

Allows you to enter a name to save the settings as a preset and select them from the Playback Speed pop-up menu later.

Speed Factor

If this option is activated, you can set the playback speed as a percentage of the normal speed.

Keep Constant Pitch

If this option is activated, the pitch of the audio is not affected if the speed is changed.

Quality pop-up menu

Allows you to select a quality. High Quality (Multi- Purpose) is best suited for most audio files but takes time to be processed. Fast Preview is processed quickly and is best suited to quickly preview a setting. Speech is best suited for voice material.

Acceleration by Skipping Low Level Regions

If this option is activated, regions of the audio that are below the threshold level are skipped during playback.

Level Detection Sensitivity

Determines the sensitivity of the level detection analysis.

Level under Which Audio Is Skipped

Determines the threshold level for a region to be skipped during playback.

Note

Changing the playback speed does not change the original audio, but only the playback speed in WaveLab Cast.
