Process Tab
The Process tab gives you access to the offline processing tools.
-
In the Audio Editor, click Process.
Level
- Gain
-
Opens the Gain dialog, where you can apply a gain to change the level of an audio file.
- Envelope
-
Opens the Envelope dialog, where you can create a level envelope which can be applied to a selected range or an entire audio file.
This is useful if you want to even out loud and quiet parts or create a sophisticated fade in/fade out, for example.
- Remove DC Offset
-
DC offset in a file affects the loudness. Remove DC Offset sets the DC offset to zero.
Normalizing
- Level
-
Opens the Level Normalizer dialog, where you can change the peak level of an audio file.
- Loudness
-
Opens the Loudness Normalizer dialog, where you can specify the loudness of a file.
Time & Pitch
- Time Stretching
-
Opens the Time Stretching dialog, where you can change the duration of an audio selection.
- Pitch Shifting
-
Opens the Pitch Shifting dialog, where can change the pitch of your audio.
- Pitch Bend
-
Opens the Pitch Bend dialog, where you can gradually change the pitch of your audio using an envelope curve.
- Resample
-
Opens the Sample Rate dialog, where you can change the sample rate of your audio.
- Reverse
-
Creates a backwards-tape effect.
- Invert Phase
-
Inverts the phase; that is, turns the audio signal upside down.
Correction
In the Correction section, you can choose from the following error correction methods:
-
Short Resynthesis is best suited for minor errors in your audio. WaveLab Elements analyzes the immediate surroundings of the error to find the most appropriate method of correction.
-
Smooth Pencil Line is particularly suited for tiny clicks in your audio. This method corresponds to drawing an accurate line with a soft pencil. It replaces the corrupted sample with the pencil line.
Loop
- Tweaker
-
Opens the Loop Tweaker dialog, where you can adjust the loop start and end points, and crossfade the loop boundaries.
- Tone Uniformizer
-
Opens the Loop Tone Uniformizer dialog, where you can create loops from sounds that are not optimal for looping.
Analysis
- Global Analysis
-
Opens the Global Analysis dialog, where you can analyze peaks, loudness, pitch, DC offset, and errors in the audio file.
Other
- Swap Stereo Channels
-
Moves the audio from the left channel to the right channel, and vice versa.
