Channel Conguration
Allows you to route recording buses to device ports. You can switch between Mono,
Stereo, Surround, or Ambisonics. In the table below the Channel Conguration
menu, you can specify the Device Port for each channel of a recording bus.
Buses List
Displays all buses. You can rename and move buses in the list. To rename a bus,
double-click it and enter a new name.
Options Tab
This tab allows you to specify the number of buffers and the control driver functionality.
ASIO-Guard
Increasing this value improves the elasticity of audio streaming to avoid dropouts. 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.
Perform Short Fade In When Starting Playback
If this option is activated, a short fade in is performed when you start playback. This
avoids clicks caused by waveforms that do not start on a zero-crossing point.
The fade is linear and either 10 milliseconds long or corresponds to the audio device
block size if the block size is below 10 milliseconds.
Perform Short Fade Out When Stopping Playback
If this option is activated, a short fade out is performed when you stop playback. This
avoids clicks caused by waveforms that do not end on a zero-crossing point. This also
discards any audio signal that is caused by latency and any tail that is caused by reverb
plug-ins.
The fade is linear and either 10 milliseconds long or corresponds to the audio device
block size if the block size is below 10 milliseconds.
Release Driver
Allows you to run WaveLab Elements together with other applications and always give
the active application access to the audio card.
● If When WaveLab Elements is in Background is activated, the driver is released
when WaveLab Elements is in the background.
● If When Cubase/Nuendo is in Foreground is activated, the driver is released
when
Cubase/Nuendo is in the foreground.
Preferred Sample Rate
Allows you to specify the Preferred Sample Rate for playback.
Sample Rate Change Timeout
After WaveLab Elements requests the audio device to operate at a new sample rate, the
driver sends WaveLab Elements a feedback when the task has been completed.
Most drivers do not require you to specify a sample rate change timeout. However,
some drivers send delayed feedback or no feedback at all. For these cases, you can
specify a timeout.
After the time you specify here, WaveLab Elements assumes the sample rate was
accepted and attempts to start playback or recording. However, if WaveLab Elements
receives feedback from the driver, the timeout expires.
If you experience sample rate change issues, increase the timeout to 3 or more
seconds. The ideal time is the shortest time that works.
