Render Tab for the Master Section

This tab allows you to select which parts of an audio file to render, and into which format.

To open the Render tab, click Render at the bottom of the Master Section.

The following options are available for rendering audio files and audio montages:

Part

Selected Audio Range processes and renders the selected audio range.
Specific Region processes and renders an audio range that is specified using region markers. In the pop-up menu next to this option, select the region that you want to render.

In Place

If this option is activated, the rendered audio range replaces the source audio range.

Unnamed File

If this option is activated, the file is named untitled.

Named File

If this option is activated, you can specify a name for the rendered file.

Name

Enter a name for the rendered file. Clicking the arrow icon opens a menu that offers you several automatic naming options.

Location

Select a folder for the rendered file.

Format

Opens a menu, where you can select the file format.

Bypass Master Section

If this option is activated, the plug-ins and gain of the Master Section are bypassed when rendering.

Auto Save Master Section Preset

If this option is activated, the Master Section preset is automatically saved in the audio file or audio montage when you render the file. You can load the Master Section preset via the Load Master Section Preset option in the lower right corner of the wave window or the montage window.

Fade In/Out at Boundaries

If this option is activated, a fade is performed at the audio range boundaries when a new file is created, or a crossfade with the adjacent audio is created if the audio range is processed in place.

Add Reverb Tail

If this option is activated, the audio tail that is produced by effects such as reverb is included in the rendered file.

Some plug-ins do not provide a tail duration to WaveLab Elements. In this case, this option has no effect. For such plug-ins, you could add the Silence plug-in to add extra samples at the end of the file.

Copy Markers

If this option is activated, markers that are included in the range to process are copied to the rendered file.

Skip Exclusion Regions

If this option is activated, audio ranges that are marked as muted are skipped and not included in the result.

Open Resulting Audio File

If this option is activated, each rendered file is opened in a new window.

Bypass Master Section on Resulting Audio File

If this option is activated, playback of the resulting audio file bypasses the entire Master Section after rendering. This setting can be toggled by clicking on the button at the bottom right of the wave window or montage window.

Note

It is recommended to activate this option, because you do not need to monitor this new file through the effects again when the effects have been applied to a file.
