Master Section
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, add effects, resample, and apply dithering.
Master Section Window
In this window, you can apply effect plug-ins, adjust the master level, apply dithering, and render the audio file or audio montage.
Signal Path
The panes in the Master Section window correspond to the processing blocks of the Master Section.

Signal Path

The panes in the Master Section window correspond to the processing blocks of the Master Section.

The signal passes through these blocks from top to bottom:

Audio from WaveLab Elements
Effects

Reordering the effect slots affects the signal path.
Resampling
Master Level
Final Effect/Dithering

The meters in the Meter windows monitor the signal between the Final Effect/Dithering pane and the audio hardware or file on disk.
Audio hardware or file on disk

In the Master Section, the signal passes all plug-ins, even if some plug-ins are soloed. However, the sound is not affected by this because the muted plug-ins are bypassed from the playback process stream.
