Master Section
Options on the Schedule tab
• The On Start options determine what WaveLab Studio should
do before rendering:
• The On Completion options determine what should happen
after rendering:
• The Priority setting lets you specify how fast the file should be
processed.
Processing the file
Once everything is set up correctly, click OK to initiate the
processing. Or, if you change your mind, click Cancel.
Ö Tip: If you just need to process the current audio se-
lection in place, you can press [Ctrl] while clicking on the
Render button. This will process the audio selection in
place without opening the dialog.
Settings like Crossfade on/off are kept from the last time you accessed
the dialog.
Working with multiple files
Once you have applied settings to one wave, as de-
scribed below, you can continue with processing the next.
The processing of the first wave will continue in the back-
ground. This way you can apply processing to as many
waves as desired. Please also note that each wave can
have its own priority setting, as described below.
The Monitor window
This window allows you to monitor the ongoing pro-
cesses, check how hard your computer’s CPU is working
with various tasks, and more.
To open this window, select “Monitor” from the Special-
ized Windows submenu on the View menu or click the
Monitor button on the Window controller bar.
The Monitor button
The window has three displays, selected by clicking the
corresponding tab at the bottom of the window.
Stop playback Stops playback to free up some processing
power. This option is not available if playback is
already stopped.
Open Monitor window Opens the Monitor window, see “The Monitor
window” on page 104.
Minimize window The file window is minimized to free up screen
space.
Beep WaveLab Studio will beep to signal that the operation
is completed.
Show
message box
WaveLab Studio will display a message to confirm the
operation. Click OK to continue.
Restore
audio window
Upon completion, WaveLab Studio will restore a mini-
mized window (see above) to its original size.
Activate
Global Bypass
WaveLab Studio will automatically activate the Bypass
switch in the Master Section’s Effects pane (see “By-
pass, Mute and Preset” on page 97) upon completion.
This allows you to play the processed file back after
rendering, without hearing the effects “twice” (applied
to the file and activated in the Master Section).
Relax
Background
The file is processed in the background, but priority is
given to audio playback and to your continued work on
other files. This makes WaveLab Studio as responsive as
possible, but slows down processing.
Background The file is processed in the background but with a lower
priority given to your continued work on other files. This
makes processing faster but the program less responsive.
Try this mode when several files should be processed in
the background.
Fast Processing is given a high priority. A fairly high-perfor-
mance computer may be required to avoid dropouts in
playback.
!
Any dropouts that occur as a result of too little pro-
cessing power left will only affect the played file.
Files processed in the background will always be
free of dropouts!
!
If you are rendering to MP3 format, you should only
render one file at a time.
