Creating Audio Montages
To create an audio montage, you can either take a “top-down” approach and start with the general setup or a “bottom-up” approach; that is, use individual files as the basis.
There are two basic methods to create audio montages in WaveLab:
Top-Down Approach: Starting with the General Setup
WaveLab comes with several default templates, which allow you to set up the general layout of your audio montage with a single click.
If you intend to create a CD, for example, you can select the CD Standard template. As a result, an audio montage with a single stereo track that does not contain any audio files is opened in the Audio Montage window.
After selecting a template, you can add audio files to the tracks, which are represented by clips, or you can record audio on the tracks.
Choosing the Custom option allows you to configure your audio montage by defining its general properties, such as the number of channels and the sample rate.
Bottom-Up Approach: Using Audio Files as the Basis
You can use audio files as the foundation for your audio montage and build it up from this basis.
