Playback and recording 7 – 153
• You can deactivate the option “Open audio file in WaveLab after recording”
in the Record settings dialog if you don’t want the recording to appear in a
new window.
In this case, the recorded file is saved to disk but does not automatically appear in Wave-
Lab after recording.
If you want to perform more recordings after the first, click the Record
button and record again. If you have selected the Named File option, and
the Auto number option is deactivated, you have to specify another file
name to avoid overwriting the previously recorded file.
When you have finished recording completely, click the Close button (in
the lower right corner) to close the dialog.
• If you have created temporary files, and want to save the file(s) permanently,
click on each document you have created and use Save As on the File menu
to save each one.
See “Saving in another format (Save as…)” on page 117 for details.
About dropping markers during recording
When you are recording, you can click the marker buttons at any time, to
add a marker to the recorded file. The yellow button will generate a num-
bered, generic marker (see “The various marker types” on page 329),
while the white buttons will generate numbered, generic region start and
end markers.
If you want to name the markers you drop rather than using generic, num-
bered markers, you can do this in one of the following ways, or use a com-
bination of both:
• Type in the desired name in the box below the buttons.
You can type in a new name for each marker before you drop. This works well if you know
beforehand where you want to drop the markers and what their names should be. If you
want to be able to drop markers not planned beforehand though, the method described be-
low is probably better suited.
