Using External Effects

The External FX plug-in allows you to add external effect devices to WaveLab Pro.

Prerequisite

You have set up external effects in the Audio Connections.

Procedure

  1. In the Master Section or Inspector, add the External FX plug-in to the effects list.
  2. In the External FX window, open the Audio Bus menu and select the bus that you have set up in the Audio Connections.
  3. In the Latency section, click Detect to measure the latency of the audio signal.

    Latency is the time it takes for the audio signal from WaveLab Pro, through the external effect device, and back to WaveLab Pro. WaveLab Pro automatically adapts to the latency.

  4. Use the Send Gain and Return Gain faders to adjust the gain of the outgoing and incoming audio.

After Completing This Task

Now you can process a signal through the external effect, just as if it was a software plug-in effect. If you render a file using the External FX plug-in, playback is not available during the rendering.
