The Source pop-up menu allows you to select which part of the audio montage you want to process. The following options are available:
- Whole Montage
-
Processes and renders the entire audio material.
- Active Track
-
Processes and renders the active track from the start of the first clip to the end of the last clip. Muted clips are not rendered.

You can specify the region to process via the pop-up menu.

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 individual audio montages and to ensure that, when switching audio montages, 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.
- 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.
- Open Resulting Audio File
-
Opens every rendered file in a new window.
- Reveal in File Explorer
-
Opens the File Explorer/macOS Finder to locate the selected file.
- 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.
