You can use the time ruler to jump to a position and start playback from there.
During playback, you can alternate between playing back the left/right, mid/side, channel clusters of multichannel audio files, or both audio channels.
Playback scrubbing helps you to find a specific position in an audio file by restarting playback repeatedly while you click and drag on the time ruler during playback or using the Play tool.
Controlling playback in the Audio Montage window basically works just like in the Audio Editor, aside from a few features that are exclusively available for audio montages.
Audio file editing encompasses opening, modifying, and saving audio files.
WaveLab Cast includes a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing your audio and for detecting errors.
Offline processes are useful for a variety of editing purposes and creative effects, for example, if the computer is too slow for real-time processing or if the editing requires more than one pass.
An audio montage is a multitrack non-destructive editing environment.
You can record audio in the Audio Editor and in the Audio Montage window.
The Master Section is the final block in the signal path before the audio is sent to the audio hardware, to an audio file, or to the audio meters. This is where you adjust the master levels and add effects.
