WaveLab Yellowtec Edition Concepts
This chapter describes general concepts that you will use when working with WaveLab Yellowtec Edition. Getting accustomed with these procedures allows you to work more effectively with the program.
Workspace Window
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.
Project Handling
File Operations
Playback
Audio File Editing
Audio file editing refers to opening, editing, and saving audio files.
Offline Processing
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.
Audio Montage
The audio montage is a multitrack non-destructive editing environment that allows you to arrange, edit, play back, and record audio clips.
Recording
You can record audio in the Audio Editor and in the Audio Montage window.
Master Section
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.
Markers
Markers allow you to save and name specific positions in a file. Markers are useful for editing and playback.
Metering
WaveLab Yellowtec Edition 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.
Customizing
Customizing means making settings so that the program behaves and looks the way that you want it to.
Configuring the Software
You can configure WaveLab Yellowtec Edition according to your needs.
Plug-in Reference
- Compressor
  This plug-in reduces the dynamic range of the audio, making softer sounds louder or louder sounds softer, or both.
- DeEsser
  This effect reduces excessive sibilance, primarily for vocal recordings. It is a special type of compressor that is tuned to be sensitive to the frequencies produced by the s-sound.
- Expander
  Expander reduces the output level in relation to the input level for signals below the set threshold. This is useful if you want to enhance the dynamic range or reduce the noise in quiet passages.
- Gate
  Gating, or noise gating, silences audio signals below a set threshold. As soon as the signal level exceeds the threshold, the gate opens to let the signal through.
- Limiter
  This plug-in is designed to ensure that the output level never exceeds a set output level, to avoid clipping in following devices.
- Brickwall Limiter
  Brickwall Limiter ensures that the output level never exceeds a set limit.
- GEQ-10/GEQ-30
  These graphic equalizers are identical, except for the number of available frequency bands (10 and 30).
- StudioEQ
  Studio EQ is a high-quality 4-band parametric stereo equalizer with two fully parametric mid-range bands. The low and high bands can act as either shelving filters (three types), or as peak filter (band-pass), or as cut filter (low-pass/high-pass).
- PostFilter
  This effect allows quick and easy filtering of unwanted frequencies, creating room for the important sounds in your mix.
- RoomWorks
  RoomWorks is a highly adjustable reverb plug-in for creating realistic room ambience and reverb effects in stereo and surround formats. The CPU usage is adjustable to fit the needs of any system. From short room reflections to cavern-sized reverb, this plug-in delivers high quality reverberation.
