Editing Tab (Audio Files Preferences)

Display

Show Overview When Opening New Audio Files

If this option is activated and you open an audio file, the overview is also displayed. If this option is deactivated, only the main view is displayed.

Overview: Passive Range Indicator Also Covers the Waveform

If this option is activated, the range indicator that is displayed in the time ruler of the overview also covers the waveform area. Unlike the time ruler indicator, the range indicator is passive and cannot be modified.

Analog Waveform Emulation at Sample Level Zooming

If this option is activated and a waveform is zoomed at the sample level in the timeline, an analog emulation of the waveform is displayed.

Auto-Zoom for Overviews

If this option is activated and you open an audio file, the zoom of the overview is set to display the whole file.

Display File Extension on Tabs

If this option is activated, tabs display file names with their extension. For example, “piano.mp3” instead of “piano”.

Number of Seconds to Display on Opening

Lets you specify the time range to display when opening an audio file for the first time. WaveLab LE converts this time range to the appropriate zoom factor.

Whole Audio File

If this option is activated, the horizontal zoom is set to display the whole file.

Editing

Process Whole File If There is No Selection

If this option is activated and a process is to be applied to an audio file, the whole file is processed if no audio is selected. In the same situation, if the option is deactivated, a warning appears.

Allow Undoing Edits after Saving File

If this option is activated, you can undo edits after you have saved the file. You can deactivate this option if you want to use less disk space or if you want to remove all temporary files when saving the file.

Playback Scrubbing

Restrict to Play Tool

If this option is activated, this function only works if the Play Tool is used.

Sensitivity

Lets you set the micro audio loop duration that is performed when you move the mouse cursor over the time ruler.

Snap Selection to Zero-Crossing

Do Not Snap at High Zoom Factors

If this option is activated, snapping does not occur if the waveform is displayed at a high zoom factor.

Scan Range

Lets you define how far WaveLab LE searches a zero-crossing point in the left and right direction.
