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.

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.

Setting Up Your System

Dening Audio Connections

17

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.

RELATED LINKS
