Setting Up Your System
Before you can start working, you need to set up your system.
Defining Audio Connections
To be able to play back and record audio in WaveLab Pro, you must specify how to connect the internal input and output channels in WaveLab Pro to your sound card and indicate the device to be used for audio playback and recording.
External Effects
You can use external effects with WaveLab Pro.
Using External Effects
The External FX plug-in allows you to add external effect devices to WaveLab Pro.

Using External Effects

The External FX plug-in allows you to add external effect devices to WaveLab Pro.

Prerequisite

You have set up external effects in the Audio Connections.

Procedure

In the Master Section or Inspector, add the External FX plug-in to the effects list.
In the External FX window, open the Audio Bus menu, and select the bus that you have set up in the Audio Connections.
In the Latency section, click Detect to measure the latency of the audio signal.

Latency is the time it takes for the audio signal to travel from WaveLab Pro through the external effect device, and back to WaveLab Pro. WaveLab Pro automatically adapts to the latency.
Use the Send Gain and Return Gain faders to adjust the gain of the outgoing and incoming audio.

After Completing This Task

Now you can process a signal through the external effect, just like a software plug-in effect. While rendering a file via the External FX plug-in, playback is not available.
