WaveLab Elements Concepts
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the general concepts of WaveLab Elements, to ensure the highest possible efficiency when using the application.
Processing Precision
WaveLab Elements can load audio samples in many formats. Internally, it processes them as 64-bit float samples.

Processing Precision

WaveLab Elements can load audio samples in many formats. Internally, it processes them as 64-bit float samples.

Mixing inside WaveLab Elements is also done in 64-bit float. 32-bit PCM samples can be transferred to 64-bit float and back.

Plug-ins are processed in 64-bit float by default. You can also set the plug-in processing to 32-bit float.

You can set up the processing precision for plug-ins and for temporary files via the Audio tab of the Global Preferences.

Note

Processing in 64-bit float results in double precision but slightly longer processing times than 32-bit float.

Temporary files in 64-bit float are processed with double precision but take longer to read and write than 32-bit float, and their file size is twice as big.
