WAVELAB
The Audio Montage 19 – 407
By using the Record button
1. Select a track by clicking in its Track Control area.
2. If you like, activate playback.
3. Click the Record button on the Transport bar or press [*] on the numeric
keypad.
The Record dialog appears.
4. Make sure the checkbox “Add to selected track of Montage” is activated.
5. Proceed as when recording into a Wave window.
When you finish recording, a clip is created at the cursor position, or if playback was acti-
vated, at the position where the Montage cursor was the moment you activated recording.
Things to note
• Make sure you select a stereo track if you want to do a stereo recording and
vice versa.
• If “Temporary File” is selected when you record, the clip will refer to an un-
titled, unsaved “invisible” file.
If you try to save a Montage with references to temporary files, WaveLab will ask you to
save these files (since the program needs to know the file names, for proper reference).
About playing back during recording
When you record in a multi-track environment, it is often desirable to have
the existing tracks play back during recording, performing an “overdub”.
For this to be possible in the Montage, the following requirements must
be met:
• Your audio card must support Full Duplex operation (MME/WMA drivers only).
This means that the card must allow simultaneous recording and playback. Consult the
documentation for the audio card if you are uncertain. ASIO drivers always allow simulta-
neous recording and playback.
• The option “Stop playback when metering or recording” must be deactivated in
the Record Settings dialog.
If it is activated, you will be asked whether you want WaveLab to turn it off for you before
starting recording.
