The Render tab allows you to mix down audio files.
-
In the Audio Editor, click Render.
Source
The Source pop-up menu allows you to select which part of the audio file to process. The following options are available:
- Whole File
-
Processes and renders the whole audio range.
- Specific Marked Region
-
Processes and renders a specific audio range to an independent file.
You can specify the region to process via the pop-up menu.
Result
- In Place
-
Replaces the source audio range with the rendered audio range.
- Unnamed File
-
Renders a temporary untitled file.
- Named File
-
Allows you to specify a name for the rendered file.
Output
- Name
-
Allows you to enter a name for the rendered file. Clicking the arrow icon opens a pop-up menu that offers you several naming options.
- Location
-
Allows you to select a destination folder for the rendered files.
NoteTo maintain independent render paths for audio slices and to ensure that, when switching audio files, the render path changes accordingly, you can activate Keep Independent Folder for Each Source File.
- Format
-
Opens a pop-up menu, where you can select a file format.
Options
Depending on the selected source, different options are available.
- Bypass Master Section
-
Bypasses the plug-ins and the gain of the Master Section when rendering.
- Auto Save Master Section Preset
-
Automatically saves the Master Section preset in the ancillary file of the audio file when you render the file. You can load the Master Section preset via the Load Master Section Preset option in the lower right corner of the Audio Editor.
- Add Reverb Tail
-
Includes the audio tail that is produced by effects such as reverb in the rendered file.
Some plug-ins do not transfer information on the tail duration to WaveLab Elements. In this case, this option has no effect. For such plug-ins, you can add the Silence plug-in to add extra samples to the end of the file.
- Copy Markers
-
Copies the markers that are included in the range to process to the rendered file.
- Skip Exclusion Regions
-
Skips muted audio ranges instead of including them in the result.
- Open Resulting Audio File
-
Opens every rendered file in a new window.
- Bypass Master Section on Resulting Audio File
-
Causes playback of the resulting audio file to bypass the entire Master Section. You can turn this setting on and off by clicking the button at the bottom right of the Audio Editor or the Audio Montage window.
NoteWe recommend that you activate this option, as this prevents monitoring new files through effects that have already been applied to them.
