WaveLab Pro Introduction
Key Commands
11
Before you start working, you need to make some settings.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that all equipment is turned off before making any connections.
Connecting the Equipment
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.
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 > 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.
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 ASIO-Guard setting on the Options
Setting Up Your System
12
tab in the Audio Connections, or increase the buffer size in the ASIO control panel, specic to
the audio card.
RELATED LINKS
Audio Connections Tab on page 14
ASIO-Guard
The ASIO-Guard allows you to pre-process all channels as well as VST plug-ins. This causes fewer
dropouts and allows you to process more tracks or plug-ins.
High ASIO-Guard levels cause an increased ASIO-Guard latency. When you adjust a volume fader,
for example, you hear parameter changes with a slight delay.
NOTE
Resampler plug-ins and certain other plug-ins with high latencies accumulate samples before
processing them. This requires a higher ASIO-Guard setting.
RELATED LINKS
Setting up ASIO-Guard on page 13
Setting up ASIO-Guard
You can specify the length of the ASIO-Guard buffer.
PROCEDURE
1. Select File > Preferences > Audio Connections.
2. Click the Options tab.
3. In the ASIO-Guard menu, specify the length of the ASIO-Guard buffer.
The higher the level, the higher the processing stability and audio processing
performance. However, higher levels also lead to an increased ASIO-Guard latency and
memory usage.
RELATED LINKS
Audio Connections Tab on page 14
Dening 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 dene the buffer settings for your device as well as set up connections to external
effects. You should select at least two channels for stereo playback and recording.
If you have no third-party audio card, you can select the Generic Low Latency driver or Built-in
Audio (Mac) options. You can also use the Generic Low Latency driver with most third-party
audio cards, with the advantage that you can record and play at different sample rates.

Selecting an ASIO Driver
Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) is a computer device driver protocol for digital audio specied

Increasing this value improves the elasticity of audio streaming to avoid dropouts.
The higher the level, the higher the processing stability and audio processing
performance. However, higher levels also lead to an increased ASIO-Guard latency
and memory usage.
MME Specic – Buffer Size
Increasing this value improves the elasticity of audio streaming to avoid dropouts.
This is only available when an MME driver is selected.
Perform Short Fade In When Starting Playback
If this option is activated, a short fade in is performed when you start playback. This
avoids clicks caused by waveforms that do not start on a zero-crossing point.
Perform Short Fade Out When Stopping Playback
If this option is activated, a short fade out is performed when you stop playback. This
avoids clicks caused by waveforms that do not end on a zero-crossing point. This also
discards any audio signal that is caused by latency and any tail that is caused by
reverb plug-ins.
Release Driver
Allows you to run WaveLab Pro together with other applications and always give the
active application access to the audio card.
If When WaveLab Pro is in Background is activated, the driver is released
when WaveLab Pro is in the background.
If When Cubase/Nuendo is in Foreground is activated, the driver is released
when Cubase/Nuendo is in the foreground.
Preferred Sample Rate
Allows you to specify the Preferred Sample Rate for playback.

External Effects
You can use external effects with WaveLab Pro. The External FX plug-in allows you to add
external effect devices to the Master Section and to the audio montage via the Inspector.
In order to use external effects, you must set up external effect buses. External effect buses
consist of send buses (output) and return buses (input).
Setting Up Your System
Dening Audio Connections

Each audio bus can have only one active external effect at a time. If the audio bus has more than
one external effect, all other external effects are bypassed. If an external effect is no longer used
and another external effect uses the same audio bus, the other external effect is activated.
The external effects that you set up in the Audio Connections are available in the External FX
plug-in.
You can use the External FX plug-in in the Effects pane of the Master Section and in the
Inspector for audio montages as clip, track, and output effect.
EXAMPLE
If you add an External FX plug-in as an insert effect in the Master Section, the audio is sent to
the corresponding audio output, processed in your external effect devices, and returned to the
plug-in via the
specied audio input.

Assigning External Effects
To use external effect devices, you must assign them to send buses and return buses.
PROCEDURE
1. Select File > Preferences > Audio Connections.
2. Select the External Effects tab.
3. Click Add Bus.
4. Select the bus in the bus list and specify Send Ports and Return Ports for the bus.
Send Ports send the audio from WaveLab Pro to your external effects device.
Return Ports receive the audio that has been processed in the external effects
device.
RESULT
The external effect buses are available in the External FX plug-in in the Master Section and the
Inspector.
Setting up 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 sliders to adjust the gain of the outgoing and
incoming audio.
CD/DVD Recorders
For general instructions on installing internal or connecting external recorders via USB or
Firewire, refer to the instruction manual for your computer or your recorder.
Make sure to have the latest rmware version installed on your recorder unit. For CD recorders,
the existing rmware must support disc-at-once mode. In addition, running a unit with older
rmware can prevent you from writing sub-index markers into the tracks, for example.
Remote Devices
You can use remote devices to remote-control WaveLab Pro.
Several commands can be controlled with knobs and sliders of your remote control device. For all
commands that can be assigned to a keyboard shortcut, a MIDI trigger can also be assigned.
Remote Devices Tab
This tab allows you to select a device to remote-control WaveLab Pro, and see and edit the
control map of MIDI control devices.
To open the Remote Devices tab, select File > Preferences > Remote Devices.
