2. Select the desired ofﬂine process from the Process menu.

3. If a dialog appears, make the appropriate settings. If the dialog uses presets, you can

load one of them to ﬁll out the settings automatically.

4. When you have ﬁnished with the settings in the dialog, click the Apply/Paste/Process

button to permanently render the effect to ﬁle.

In some cases a status bar dialog is displayed showing the progress of the operation. If you

need to interrupt a long process, click the "Cancel" button on the status bar dialog.

Undo/Redo processing

Even though ofﬂine processes appear to alter the ﬁle permanently, you can always reinstate

a previous version using WaveLab's "undo" feature. The number of Undo/Redo commands

is limited only by your available hard drive space. Access the Undo and Redo commands via

Edit > Undo or Edit > Redo.

Tips for using Ofﬂine Processing

Processing dialogs are non-modal - meaning that they stay open and on screen even after

processing has been applied. This means that you can still playback audio and access un-

do/redo commands to audition the results of your effect and make any further adjustments to

any settings. You can also use key commands and access any other menu commands while

leaving the ofﬂine process dialog open. Remember that using and saving presets when you

have settings you are happy with can also save you time.
