Introduction
How You Can Reach Us
10
The menu contains links to various Steinberg web pages. Selecting a menu item
automatically launches your browser and opens the page. On these pages, you can
find support and compatibility information, answers to frequently asked questions,
information about updates and other Steinberg products, etc. This requires that you
have a web browser installed on your computer, and a working Internet connection.
11
Setting Up Your System
Before you start working, you need to make some settings.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Make sure that all equipment is turned off before making any connections.
Connecting Audio
Your system setup depends on many different factors, for example, the kind of
project that you want to create, the external equipment that you want to use, or the
computer hardware available to you.
Audio Cards and Background Playback
When you activate playback or recording in WaveLab Pro, other applications
cannot access the audio card. Likewise, if another application uses the audio card,
WaveLab
Pro is unable to play back. The Windows MME driver is an exception from
this.
You can run WaveLab Pro together with other applications and always give the
active application access to the audio card.
PROCEDURE
1. Select File > Preferences > VST Audio Connections.
2. Select the Options tab.
3. Activate Release Driver.
4. Do one of the following:
If you want to release the driver when WaveLab Pro is in the background,
activate When WaveLab Pro is in Background.
If you want to release the driver only when Cubase is in the foreground, activate
When Cubase is in Foreground.
Setting Up Your System
Latency
12
Latency
Latency is the delay between when audio is sent from the program and when you
actually hear it. While a very low latency can be crucial in a real-time DAW
application such as Steinberg Nuendo or Cubase, this is not strictly the case with
WaveLab
Pro.
When working with WaveLab Pro, the important issues are optimum and stable
playback and editing precision.
The latency in an audio system depends on the audio hardware, its drivers, and
settings. In case of dropouts, crackles, or glitches during playback, raise the Buffer
Number setting on the Options tab in the VST Audio Connections, or increase
the buffer size in the ASIO control panel, specific to the audio card.
RELATED LINKS
VST Audio Connections Tab on page 13
Defining VST Audio Connections
To be able to play back and record audio in WaveLab Pro, you must specify how
the internal input and output channels in WaveLab
Pro are connected to your sound
card and which device you intend to use for audio playback and recording.
You can define the buffer settings for your device as well as set up connections to
external gear, such as external effects units. You should select at least two channels
for stereo playback and recording.
If you have no third-party audio card, you can select the Windows MME driver or
Built-in Audio (Mac) options. You can also use MME with most third party audio
cards, with the advantage that you can record and play at different sample rates.
However, Windows MME drivers do not allow audio monitoring in the Recording
dialog or multichannel operation, and other drivers generally offer better sound
quality and performance.
RELATED LINKS
VST Audio Connections Tab on page 13
Selecting an ASIO Driver
Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) is a computer device driver protocol for digital
audio specified by Steinberg. It provides a low-latency and high fidelity interface
between a software application and the soundcard of a computer.
PROCEDURE
1. Select File > Preferences > VST Audio Connections.
2. Open the Audio Device pop-up menu and select your ASIO driver.
The ASIO Plug-ins tab and the Control Panel button are activated.

Options Tab
This tab allows you to specify the number of buffers and the control driver
functionality.
Buffer Number
Increasing this value improves the elasticity of audio streaming to avoid
dropouts.
MME Specific – Buffer Size
Increasing this value improves the elasticity of audio streaming to avoid
dropouts. This is only available when an MME driver is selected.
Initialize Streaming Engine at First Use
Initializes the audio streaming engine when playback or recording are used for
the first time. If this option is deactivated, the audio streaming engine is
initialized at program startup.
Reset Driver When Changing Sample Rate
Resets the driver when sample rate is changed. When playback or recording
must be set to a new sample rate, some audio device drivers must be fully
reset to work properly. This operation takes some time.
Perform Short Fade In/Out When Starting/Stopping Playback
Performs a short fade in when starting playback and a short fade out when
stopping playback. This avoids clicks that are caused by waveforms that are
not starting on a zero-crossing point.
Release Driver
Allows you to run WaveLab Pro together with other applications and always
give the active application access to the audio card.
