Audio Analysis
WaveLab Elements provides you with a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing your audio and for detecting any errors.
Global Analysis
In WaveLab Elements, you can perform advanced analysis on your audio to identify areas with specific properties. This helps you find problem areas such as glitches or clipped samples. You can also check general information, such as the pitch of a sound.
Error Detection
You can detect errors, such as glitches and sections where the audio has clipped.

Error Detection

You can detect errors, such as glitches and sections where the audio has clipped.

Glitches

These are disruptions in the audio. Glitches may occur after problematic digital transfers, after careless editing, etc. They manifest themselves as “clicks” or “pops” in the audio.

Clipping

A digital system has a finite number of levels that it can represent properly. When recorded sound levels are too high or when the system cannot handle levels that have been raised by digital processing, hard clipping occurs that you can hear as strong distortion.
