WaveLab LE Concepts
This chapter describes general concepts that you will use when working with WaveLab LE. Getting accustomed with these procedures allows you to work more effectively with the program.
Processing Precision
WaveLab LE can load audio samples in many formats but processes them internally as 64-bit float samples.

Processing Precision

WaveLab LE can load audio samples in many formats but processes them internally as 64-bit float samples.

Mixing inside WaveLab LE 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 in the Audio tab of the Global Preferences.

Note

Processing in 64-bit float means double precision but slightly longer process time than 32-bit float.

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