About audio cards
WaveLab Studio works with any Multimedia PC compati-
ble audio card. However, the audio quality varies dramati-
cally between cards.
For serious work with WaveLab Studio, we recommend
that you get a card with the highest possible specifica-
tions.
However, if you use WaveLab Studio to edit files for use
with other hardware (such as a hard disk based recording
system using its own audio converters) any loss in audio
quality that you experience when listening to
the files in
WaveLab Studio (due to deficiencies in the audio card)
will not
affect the final audio files in any way.
For professional use (mastering, etc.) we recommend that
you get a card capable of playing back files in 24 bit reso-
lution.
About the System Information
feature
After having installed and launched WaveLab Studio, you
can get a very detailed report describing your computer
system by selecting “System Information” on the Help
menu. This function analyses your system and lists operat-
ing system specifics; processor(s), memory, hard drives,
and much more. This is especially useful if you need to
contact Technical Support, since this allows you to de-
scribe your computer configuration accurately.
