Signal Path

The panes in the Master Section window correspond to the processing blocks of the Master Section.

The signal passes through these blocks from top to bottom:

1. Audio from WaveLab Pro

2. Effects

   Reordering the effect slots affects the signal path.

3. Resampling

4. Master Level

   The Master Section meters monitor the signal between the Master Level pane and the Playback Processing pane.

5. Final Effects/Dithering

6. Playback Processing

   The meters in the Meter windows monitor the signal between the Playback Processing pane and the Speaker Configuration pane.

7. Speaker Configuration

8. Audio hardware or file on disk

In the Master Section, the signal passes all plug-ins, even if some plug-ins are soloed. However, the sound is not affected by this because the muted plug-ins are bypassed from the playback process stream.

Other meters in WaveLab Pro, for example, Oscilloscope or Wavescope, monitor the signal directly after the Final Effects/Dithering pane, by default. You can also monitor the signal directly after a particular slot if you activate Monitoring Point for a slot.
