The AudioFile section of Wavelab is a destructive editing workspace (hit 'save' and it's gone for good).

I understand each individual element, just not how to approach the audio montage part of the process.Īny help or guidance would be hugely appreciated. I'm afraid I just can't seem to figure out the correct work flow for using Wavelab 7, my mastering plugins and the Audio Montage window to create a final master perfectly mastered, levelled with 16 bit dither, burnt to a CD. This seems a bit crazy - but if I put the plugins in the master section then every track will get the same FX applied which is obviously not what I want.

So for example each track will have a Sonoris Mastering Compressor TC MD3 EQ and TC Brickwall limiter inserted (I'll need 11x each as I have 11 tracks in my album) I'm confused, even after reading the W7 manual!Īm I supposed to import all my track into the Audio Montage and then add my plugins to each separate clip instead of the master section.

The Wavelab manual doesn't at all make it clear if burning a CD renders all any plugins during this process automatically OR if you need to render any plugins like dither first and then create your CD!

The only part that confuses here, is after I have individually mastered each track obviously once imported into the audio montage, I will want to correct the levels between different tracks, but I thought any changes to the audio should be done before dither is added.Ĭan I master all my tracks individually, but leave off the dither) THEN import them into the audio montage, make any changes to levels between tracks and stick a single dither plugin into the master section of the audio montage? Do I master each track of my new album SEPARATELY adding in dither and rendering to a new file and then import all these files into an audio montage and then add the track markers and burn a master CD?

Wavelab 7 edit master plugins?
