Output Tab (Batch Processor)

The Output tab allows you to specify an output location for the files that you are about to process.

Destination folder type

Defines the type of destination folder. The following types are available:

  • Temporary (Can Be Undone)

    Writes the processed audio to a temporary file. For this to work, the source file must be open in the Audio Editor.

  • As Source Path

    Renders the file to its current folder.

  • Subfolder of Source Path

    Renders the file to a customizable subfolder of its current folder.

  • Subfolder “Output” in Source Path

    Renders the file to the Output subfolder of the Watch Folder. This subfolder is automatically created by WaveLab Pro.

  • Explicit Path

    Renders the file to a destination folder that you must specify in the Folder field at the top of the Batch Processor window.

  • Explicit Path + Recreate Folder Structure

    Renders the file to a destination folder that you must specify in the Folder field at the top of the Batch Processor window, and recreates the folder structure.

    Note

    The folder path you define must lead to a source folder common to all audio files to process, as WaveLab Pro uses this folder as a reference to recreate the folder hierarchy.

  • Explicit Path + Source Folder

    Renders the file to a destination folder that you must specify in the Folder field at the top of the Batch Processor window. WaveLab Pro adds the name of the source folder to the path.

  • Explicit Path + Source Folder (2 Levels)

    Renders the file to a destination folder that you must specify in the Folder field at the top of the Batch Processor window. WaveLab Pro adds the names of the source folder and its parent to the path.

  • Explicit Path + Source Folder (3 Levels)

    Renders the file to a destination folder that you must specify in the Folder field at the top of the Batch Processor window. WaveLab Pro adds the names of the source folder and its parent plus one additional element of the source path to the path.

  • No Audio Output

    Processes the files without writing an output file.

    When using Watch Folders, this option only makes sense in conjunction with the Audio Analyzer plug-in, to produce a text file from the source audio file without rendering a new audio file. WaveLab Pro always writes the text file to the Output subfolder of the Watch Folder.

    Note

    For Watch Folders, you can also specify the destination folder using an XML file that contains this information.

Path

Specifies the folder to which the files are rendered.

Rename Files

Processes the source file names through a renaming preset, to produce new names for the rendered files.

Renaming Field

Allows you to open the Rename Files dialog, where you can set up a renaming scheme.

Name Scheme

Allows you to define naming schemes for the audio files or audio montages that you want to render. You can save naming schemes as presets.
