Before you start working, you need to make some settings.
This chapter describes general concepts that you will use when working with WaveLab Pro. Getting accustomed with these procedures allows you to work more effectively with the program.
The Workspace window provides an editing and playback environment for each particular file type. Each environment contains functions that are tailored to the specific purpose of each file type.
In WaveLab Pro, you can handle files in various ways. For example, save file settings that you regularly use as templates, rename files using naming schemes, or create a favorite files lists.
This chapter describes the methods for controlling playback and transport functions.
Audio file editing refers to opening, editing, and saving audio files.
WaveLab Pro provides you with a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing your audio and for detecting any errors.
You can search for unwanted clicks and digital artifacts in an audio file. The detection and correction methods allow you to detect, mark and name, jump to, play back, and remove individual audio errors.
Offline processes are useful for a variety of editing purposes and creative effects, for example, if the computer is too slow for real-time processing or if the editing requires more than one pass.
The audio montage is a multichannel and multitrack non-destructive editing environment that allows you to arrange, edit, play back, and record audio clips.
You can record audio in the Audio Editor and in the Audio Montage window.
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.
Markers allow you to save and name specific positions in a file. Markers are useful for editing and playback.
WaveLab Pro contains a variety of audio meters that you can use for monitoring and analyzing audio. Meters can be used to monitor audio during playback, rendering, and recording. Furthermore, you can use them to analyze audio sections when playback is stopped.
In WaveLab Pro, you can author a DVD-Audio from a collection of audio montages and write it to DVD-Audio.
To start the CD/DVD writing process, you must have completed all CD/DVD writing preparations. Refer to the description about DVD-Audio, and CD window for a description of the preparations before following the instructions here.
Spectral editing allows you to edit and process individual frequency ranges instead of the full frequency spectrum.
The auto split function allows you to automatically split audio files in the Audio Editor or clips in the Audio Montage window according to specific rules.
Looping a sound allows you to repeat a section of the sample indefinitely in order to create a sustain of unlimited length. Instrumental sounds in samplers rely on looping organ sounds, for example.
The Signal Generator allows you to generate complex synthesized sounds in mono or stereo.
With the DTMF Generator you can generate DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) or MF tones as used by analog telephone systems.
You can read audio tracks from regular CDs and save them as a digital copy in any audio format on your hard disk.
WaveLab Pro allows you to add video files to your audio montage. You can play back video files in various formats from within WaveLab Pro, extract the audio from a video file, and edit your audio alongside the video.
You can use WaveLab Pro as an external editor for Cubase Pro, Cubase Artist, and Nuendo, and vice versa.
Batch processing in WaveLab Pro allows you to process any number of audio files or audio montage files with Master Section plug-ins and presets, offline effects, and other plug-ins that are unique to batch processing.
You can convert multiple audio files simultaneously to another format. If no processing is needed, this can be done using the Batch Conversion dialog.
With the batch renaming functions, you can batch rename multiple files, markers, and clips. You can convert, remove, format, import, and insert text. This allows you to batch rename file names according to user specified rules.
A Podcast is an episodic series that consists of audio files. Users can stream or download Podcasts to their device and listen to it. WaveLab Pro with its audio editing tools and effects allows you to create Podcast episodes and upload these episodes to various host services.
Podcasting is a method of distributing multimedia files over the Internet, for example, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. Podcasts are distributed via the RSS standard (Rich Site Summary).
Customizing means making settings so that the program behaves and looks the way that you want it to.
You can configure WaveLab Pro according to your needs.
