Edit Project

When you are working on an audio file or clip in WaveLab Elements, you can open the project of the audio file in Cubase/Nuendo. This allows you to correct issues that you have identified during mixing and correct these issues in the audio file in Cubase/Nuendo.

Edit Project opens the corresponding sequencer project of the audio file.

Tools

Time Selection

Tool that allows you to select a time range.

Pen

Tool that allows you to redraw the waveform in the wave window. This can be used to quickly repair waveform errors.

Play

Tool that allows you to play back the audio file at the position where you click.

Time Selection

Extend

Opens a menu where you can select the following options for creating or extending selection ranges:

  • Extend to Start of File extends the selection to the start of the audio file. If there is no selection, a selection is created from the edit cursor position.

  • Extend to End of File extends the selection to the end of the audio file. If there is no selection, a selection is created from the edit cursor position.

  • Extend to Previous Marker extends the left edge of the selection to the nearest marker to the left or the start of the audio file. If there is no selection, a selection is extended until the previous marker position.

  • Extend to Next Marker extends the right edge of the selection to the nearest marker to the right or the end of the audio file. If there is no selection, a selection is extended until the next marker position.

  • Extend to Cursor extends the selection to the edit cursor position.

  • From Start of File Until Cursor selects the range between the start of the audio file and the edit cursor position.

  • From Cursor to End of File selects the range between the edit cursor position and the end of the audio file.

  • From Cursor to Previous Marker selects the range between the edit cursor position and the previous marker or the start of the audio file.

  • From Cursor to Next Marker selects the range between the edit cursor position and the next marker or the end of the audio file.

  • Shift Selection to the Left moves the selection by its length to the left.

  • Shift Selection to the Right moves the selection by its length to the right.

  • From Playback Position to End creates a selection range from the playback position to the end of the selection or to the end of the file if there is no selection. If playback is not active, the position of the edit cursor is used.

  • From Start to Playback Position creates a selection range from the playback position to the start of the selection or to the start of the file if there is no selection. If playback is not active, the position of the edit cursor is used.

  • Double Selection Length doubles the length of the current selection range.

  • Halve Selection Length halves the length of the current selection range.

Toggle

Toggles the current audio selection.

All

Selects the entire waveform.

Channels

This pop-up menu allows you to change the channel selection.

  • Extend to All Channels extends the current selection range to all channels.

  • Left Channel Only reduces the current selection range to the left channel only.

  • Right Channel Only reduces the current selection range to the right channel only.

Regions

This pop-up menu allows you to select a range between two markers.

  • Loop Region selects the range between the two loop markers that encompass the edit cursor.

  • Generic Region selects the range between the two generic markers that encompass the edit cursor.

Clipboard

Cut

Cuts the selected audio range to the clipboard.

Copy

Copies the active clip or the selected audio range to the clipboard.

Paste

Pastes the clipboard content.

Right-click Paste to open a pop-up menu that allows you to select a paste type.

  • Overwrite replaces the audio at the cursor position.

  • Append adds the pasted audio after the end of the file.

  • Prepend adds the pasted audio before the beginning of the file.

  • Multiple Copies opens a dialog in which you can enter the number of copies that you want to create.

  • Mix blends two files into each other, starting at the selection or, if there is no selection, at the cursor position.

    If you select Mix, a dialog opens, allowing you to specify the gain and phase for the audio on the clipboard and at the destination. The clipboard data is always mixed in, regardless of the length of the selection.

Paste and Crossfade

Pastes the clipboard content and creates a crossfade.

Right-click Paste and Crossfade to open a pop-up menu that allows you to select a crossfade type for pasting.

  • Linear (Equal Gain) changes the level linearly.

  • Sinus (Equal Power) changes the level according to a sine curve, the power of the mix remains constant.

  • Square-Root (Equal Power) changes the level according to a square-root curve, the power of the mix remains constant.

Cutting

Crop

Deletes the data outside the selection.

Delete

Deletes the selection. The audio to the right of the selection is moved to the left to fill the gap.

Other

Swap Stereo Channels

Moves the audio in the left channel to the right channel, and vice versa.

Nudge

Nudge Left

Nudges the audio selection to the left.

Nudge Right

Nudges the audio selection to the right.

Snapping

Zero-Crossing

If this option is activated, the start and the end of a selected range always snap to a zero-crossing point of the waveform.

If Zero-Crossing is activated and you add markers during playback via key commands, the markers snap to the nearest zero-crossing point of the waveform.

This applies for the following markers types:

  • Generic markers

  • Region markers

  • Loop markers

Snap to Magnets

If this option is activated, moved elements such as clip edges, time selection edges, cursor, and markers snap to the magnets that are activated on the Magnets pop-up menu.

Magnets

This pop-up menu allows you to select which items should be magnetic.
