Audio Montage
The Audio Montage window is the
heart of WaveLab 4.0.Here, audio
files and sections of audio are
defined, arranged and edited. Open
as many clips on as many tracks as
you want simultaneously in the
audio montage and place, move, cut,
fade or crossfade them any way you
like. Crossfades, panorama, volume
edits and effect send levels are
calculated in real-time.You can
change the “rubber band”curves
with the mouse: hear and see the
changes you make straight away - without creating fade files that have to be calculated first.
The Audio Montage is absolutely non-destructive,as the clips are only references to the
original audio files. This gives you the flexibility of being able to move,cut or delete clips.
Each clip can be processed using up to ten VST effects. The sum of all the tracks then
passes through the Master Section,where another eight real-time effects (VST, WaveLab,
Direct X) are available. Unlimited undo/redo lets you take back any edits or changes you
have made.
Highest Quality Sound
WaveLab 4.0 offers outstanding sound quality. The
internal 32-bit floating processing depth with a
sample rate of up to 192 kHz offers superb audio
clarity.Apogee’s renowned professional UV22HR
dithering algorithm converts your audio into other
bit rates at the very last step in the mastering process.
Powerful Real-Time
Analysis Tools
WaveLab 4.0 features a broad palette of profes-
sional analysis tools. Thanks to newly developed
high-precision level indicators, you can visually
monitor playback audio input and even each sin-
gle sample position - in real-time, of course.Also
included are a new version of the Peak/VU Meter
(now free-floating),a 60-band spectrum analyzer
and Phasescope,a correlation meter with
integrated goniometer. With the FFT meter, you
can also,for example, test rooms or PA systems.
Integrated Mastering Studio
WaveLab 4.0 offers everything you need to give your audio the finishing touches it
deserves: a graphic, editable,fully parametric equalizer, a top level reverb algorithm,
comprehensive dynamics section as well as special high-end loudness optimization
algorithms. Also built-in are two plugins for restoration of audio recordings,Declicker
and Denoiser. Using virtual effect processors in the Master Section couldn’t be easier -
you can drag & drop the plug-ins around and place them into the desired position in the
processing chain. To help you compare results of different effect combinations easily, you
can open several instances of WaveLab 4.0 at the same time.
