WAVELAB
Playback and recording 7 – 145
Using ShuttlePro
WaveLab features support for Contour Design’s ShuttlePro Multimedia
Controller. You can use the buttons on the ShuttlePro to perform the
above described Jog and Shuttle functions, as well as several other func-
tions such as zoom in/out, undo/redo, start/stop playback, play selection,
toggle loop mode, toggle jog & shuttle mode, open file and save as. The
WaveLab functions that can be performed with a ShuttlePro are defined
in a ShuttlePro preferences file called “WaveLab Shuttle Pro.pref”, lo-
cated in the WaveLab/Tools folder.
If you want to use a ShuttlePro with WaveLab, proceed as follows:
1.
Copy the preferences file from the WaveLab/Tools folder to the Shuttle
Pro
Settings folder.
By default, this is C:\Program Files\Contour ShuttlePro\Settings.
2. Open the ShuttlePro control panel in your ShuttlePro folder.
3. In the control panel, select “File – Import Settings” and select the “Wave-
Lab Shuttle Pro.pref” file.
4. Exit the ShuttlePro control panel.
You can now use the ShuttlePro with WaveLab.
Scrolling during playback
The “Scrolling during playback” submenu on the Options menu contains
several options for how the view should be scrolled in Play mode:
• Note: the two last options require a fast computer and graphics card.
If you get dropouts during playback, please select another Scrolling mode.
These options do not apply to playback using the Play tool.
Option Description
Immobile view This disables scrolling completely.
View follows cursor In this mode, the waveform view will automatically change when the
Wave cursor reaches the right side of the window during playback.
Scroll wave (partial) In this mode, the waveform view is scrolled continuously, attempting
to keep the Wave cursor in the middle of the view. However, if loop
mode is activated and the loop range fits on the screen, no unneces-
sary scrolling takes place, allowing for a more stable view of the loop.
The program will also “sense” the end of a file and stop scrolling
when it is “in view”, rather than when the end is reached.
Scroll wave (always) In this mode, the waveform view is scrolled continuously, attempting
to keep the Wave cursor in the middle of the screen.
