Options Tab

This tab allows you to control application-wide start-up options. You can also reset the default message boxes.

Make Tasks Monitor Visible When Task Starts

If this option is activated, the Tasks window opens when a background task starts.

Play a Sound When a Long Task Completes

Allows you to select a sound that is played when a task finishes.

Minimum Duration

Specifies how long a task must be for a sound to be triggered when the task is finished. If the task duration is shorter, no sound is triggered.

Path and Name of the Audio File

Lets you select which audio file is played. On Windows operating systems, the file format must be WAV, and on macOS operating systems, the file format can be WAV or AIFF.

Only Play the Sound for Blocking Tasks

If this option is activated, the sound only plays if tasks prevent you from working elsewhere in WaveLab Pro. For example, background tasks do not trigger a sound when they are completed.

Alternative External File Browser

Allows you to specify an alternative external file browser that opens when you use the Reveal Folder in File Explorer/macOS Finder or Reveal Files in File Explorer/macOS Finder options in WaveLab Pro.

If the application needs a special command line formatting, you can specify it in the Command Line field. Use %1 as a placeholder for the file or folder to which you want to browse.

Interval for Zoom Key Command

Allows you to specify how much the waveform zoom factor changes each time that the zoom shortcuts are triggered. Higher values allow you to zoom in and out more quickly but with bigger steps.

Reset Default Answers

Resets all message box options to their default settings. For example, all Do not show again options are deactivated.
