Miscellaneous Options
Show Application in High DPI (Windows only)
If this option is activated and your display supports high resolution, WaveLab
Elements is displayed in high resolution. If your display does not support high

small, deactivate Show Application in High DPI.

As option.

Processing Precision
Plug-in Processing allows you to select the processing precision for plug-ins.
● If you select 64 bit float and a plug-in is capable of processing 64-bit samples,
processing takes place in lossless 64 bit.
If a plug-in is only capable of handling 32-bit samples, WaveLab Elements
converts all 64-bit float samples to 32-bit float before sending them to the
plug-in. After the plug-in processing is completed, WaveLab Elements converts
the 32-bit float samples back to 64-bit float without loss.
● If you select 32 bit float, WaveLab Elements converts all 64-bit float samples to
32-bit float before sending them to the plug-in. After the plug-in processing is
completed, WaveLab Elements converts the 32-bit float samples back to 64-bit
float without loss.
In the plug-in menus, the “32F” and “64F” indicators next to the plug-in name show
whether a plug-in is capable of 32-bit float or 64-bit float.
