WaveLab Cast Concepts

Workspace Window
The Workspace window provides a range of editing and playback environments whose functions are tailored to the specific purposes of particular file types.
File Handling
WaveLab Cast offers you many options to handle your files. For example, you can rename files from within WaveLab Cast or save files in various ways.
Playback and Transport
WaveLab offers you a wide range of options for playback and transport.
Audio File Editing
Audio file editing encompasses opening, modifying, and saving audio files.
Audio Analysis
WaveLab Cast includes a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing your audio and for detecting errors.
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
An audio montage is a multitrack non-destructive editing environment.
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. This is where you adjust the master levels and add effects.
Markers
Markers allow you to save and name specific positions in a file. Markers are useful for editing and playback.
Metering
WaveLab Cast 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.
Loops
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.
Audio CD Import
You can read titles from regular CDs and save them as a digital copy in any audio format on your hard disk.
Video
WaveLab Cast allows you to add video files to your audio montage. You can play back video files in various formats from within WaveLab Cast, extract the audio from a video file, and edit your audio alongside the video.
Cross-Application Copying Operations
To optimize cross-application workflows, you can easily insert any audio range from WaveLab into any other audio application by performing simple copy & paste and drag & drop operations.
Podcast Creation
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 Cast with its audio editing tools and effects allows you to create Podcast episodes and upload these episodes to various host services.
