All Audio Montages Tab (Audio Montages Preferences)

Specifies how many previous versions are kept.

Automatically saves the audio montage in intervals which you can specify in the time field below.

Defines the actions that are performed when closing an unmodified audio montage. An audio montage is only tagged as modified if the audio-related data has been modified. The following options can be selected:

• Save and Update Time Stamp: The audio montage is saved to remember its current state, for example, selection and zoom, and the time stamp of its file is updated.

• Save and Retain Time Stamp: The audio montage is saved to remember its current state, and the time stamp of its original file is retained.

• Do Not Save: The audio montage is not saved and therefore not preserved for the next launch of WaveLab Pro.

Displays hints in the status bar of the audio montage about what you can do at the current mouse position in the montage window.

Displays a tooltip when you click and drag an envelope element. The tooltip indicates the value of the performed editing.

If this option is activated and you select an audio range, the corresponding clip becomes the active clip.

If this option is activated, you can click anywhere on a clip to select it. If this option is deactivated, the clip is only selected when you click in the bottom clip area.

Defines the amount with which elements are adjusted when you modify them with the nudge commands. This is used for nudging the position of objects or edges and for nudging volume gains.

If this option is activated, audio files are referenced without a path when generating CD cue sheets.

If this option is activated, WaveLab Pro uses multiple CPU cores to process the audio montage during playback and file rendering. It is recommended to activate this option unless you are using non-multicore compatible plug-ins.

If this option is activated, the track plug-ins and track group plug-ins are bypassed if their input signal is silent. This can improve system performance noticeably for playback and rendering. WaveLab Pro automatically detects reverb signals and continues to send a silent signal for these plug-ins.

When a plug-in does not receive a silent signal, its meters might not reflect its status. In this case, you can instruct WaveLab Pro to continue sending the silent signal for the time specified in the Processing Hold Time After Silence value field.

When you replace the audio file in a clip, the clip is resized accordingly.

This applies in the following situations:

• When replacing the audio file of a clip

• When replacing an audio file in an audio montage

• When rendering a super clip

• When re-rendering a sequencer project whose file is used by one or more clips

Markers that are attached to the clips are automatically shifted.

The following options determine what happens when you replace the audio file in a clip.

• If Synchronize Clip Length with Audio File is activated, the clip length is set to the length of the new audio file.

• If Shift Clips on the Right is activated, the clips on the right of the clip retain their relative position.

If this option is activated and Show/Hide Clip Ruler and Markers of Source File is activated in the wave window, the clip ruler time at the start of a clip is set to zero. If this option is deactivated, the clip ruler time is relative to the time of the audio file source.

If Show Timecode is activated, a timecode in the Video window represents time using hours, minutes, seconds, and frames to provide a location for each device. Each frame represents a visual film or video frame.

Allows you to specify whether the level/fade envelope or pan envelope should be applied before or after the clip effects when creating new clips. The following options are available:

• Level/Fade Envelope before Effects

• Level/Fade Envelope after Effects

• Pan Envelope before Effects

• Pan Envelope after Effects
