The audio montage is a multitrack non-destructive editing environment that allows you to arrange, edit, play back, and record audio clips.
All clips are displayed in the Clips window. In this window, you can edit and rearrange clips and drag them into the audio montage.
Before you start working, you need to make some settings.
This chapter describes general concepts that you will use when working with WaveLab Yellowtec Edition. Getting accustomed with these procedures allows you to work more effectively with the program.
The Workspace window provides an editing and playback environment for each particular file type. Each environment contains functions that are tailored to the specific purpose of each file type.
Audio file editing refers to opening, editing, and saving audio files.
Offline processes are useful for a variety of editing purposes and creative effects, for example, if the computer is too slow for real-time processing or if the editing requires more than one pass.
The montage window is where you assemble your audio montage. This is where you view, play back, and edit audio montages.
The tabs in the Audio Montage window give you access to the tools and options you need for editing audio montages. For example, you can edit the envelope curves and fades in clips, make zoom settings, analyze the audio, and render the audio montage.
The audio signal passes through the various sections of WaveLab Yellowtec Edition in a certain way.
You can create duplicates of audio montages.
You can export audio files to an audio montage, including all markers that you have set in the audio file.
This dialog opens when you open an audio montage, and some audio files that the audio montage refers to cannot be found. You can then search for the files or select a replacement.
You assemble your audio montage by adding tracks and clips.
You can freely arrange clips in the montage window.
This window contains a list of the clips that are placed in the active audio montage together with additional information about the clips.
In the Clips window, you can re-order clips by dragging them to another position in the list.
You can let clips overlap other clips, move them, and create crossfades between clips.
In this context, resizing usually means moving the start and end points of a clip. This reveals more or less of the original audio file.
A cue point is a defined position marker that belongs to a clip. It may be positioned inside or outside the clip. Cue points are displayed as dotted vertical lines.
The track activity indicator shows the volume level for audio tracks. It is located on the right side of the track control area in the Audio Montage window.
For clips in the audio montage, you can create envelopes for volume and fades.
A fade in is a gradual increase in level and a fade out is a gradual decrease in level. A crossfade is a gradual fade between two sounds, where one is faded in and the other faded out.
The Render function allows you to mix down the whole audio montage to a single audio file.
You can record audio in the Audio Editor and in the Audio Montage window.
The Master Section is the final block in the signal path before the audio is sent to the audio hardware, to an audio file, or to the audio meters.
Markers allow you to save and name specific positions in a file. Markers are useful for editing and playback.
WaveLab Yellowtec Edition contains a variety of audio meters that you can use for monitoring and analyzing audio. Meters can be used to monitor audio during playback, rendering, and recording. Furthermore, you can use them to analyze audio sections when playback is stopped.
Customizing means making settings so that the program behaves and looks the way that you want it to.
You can configure WaveLab Yellowtec Edition according to your needs.
