Playback Speed Dialog

The Playback Speed dialog allows you to specify a playback speed for an active audio file and all clips of an active audio montage.

  • To open the Playback Speed dialog, right-click Playback Speed on the transport bar, and select Edit Playback Speed.

Presets

Allows you to enter a name and save the settings as a preset. You can select the preset from the Playback Speed pop-up menu at a later point in time.

Speed Factor

Allows you to set the playback speed as a percentage of the normal speed.

Keep Constant Pitch

Prevents the pitch of the audio from being affected by any changes in playback speed.

Quality pop-up menu

Allows you to choose from three options:

High Quality (Multi- Purpose) is suited for most audio files but takes time to be processed.

Fast Preview is processed quickly and allows you to preview a setting.

Speech is particularly suited for voice material.

Acceleration by Skipping Low Level Regions

Skips the playback of audio regions that are below the threshold level.

Level Detection Sensitivity

Determines the sensitivity of the level detection analysis.

Level under Which Audio Is Skipped

Determines the threshold level for a region to be skipped during playback.

Note

Changing the playback speed does not change the original audio in WaveLab Pro.
