Generating Audio Cue Points

You can generate Audio Cue Points in the Audio Editor and in the Audio Montage window.

Prerequisite

  • You have opened an audio montage in the Audio Montage window or set the Audio Editor to the Waveform view.

  • You have activated Snap to Magnets in the Snapping section of the Edit tab.

Procedure

  1. In the Snapping section of the Edit tab, click Magnets. In the pop-up menu, activate Audio Starts (Transients) to generate and display transients or Audio Ends (Releases) to generate and display releases, or both.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • Select a time range with the mouse.

    • Drag the edit cursor on the bottom part of the time ruler.

    • Drag the edit cursor in the audio area, and press Shift.

Result

A real-time audio analysis is performed by WaveLab Pro, and Audio Cue Points are continuously generated and displayed.

Note

Audio Cue Points are volatile; that is, they are not saved with the file, and they are only displayed in the section of an audio file or a clip that you specify by dragging the mouse or the edit cursor within a range of five seconds to the left and the right side.
