WAVELAB
The Audio Montage 19 – 433
• Volume of focused clip.
Adjusts the volume of the focused clip, in steps according to the Level setting in the Im-
pulse value dialog.
• Volume of all selected clips.
As above, but affects all selected clips.
• Synchro offset (SMPTE).
This is used when synchronizing WaveLab to external equipment. See “Nudging sync off-
set” on page 654.
Using Auto-Select
If the Auto-Select option on the Nudge submenu is activated, WaveLab
attempts to automatically select what should be Nudged, depending on
your last action in the Track View. If your last action was to select or move
a clip, the “Clip position” option is automatically selected on the Nudge
submenu, if you adjusted the volume, the “Volume of focused Clip” option
will be selected, etc. In most cases, this allows you to use the Nudge fea-
ture without having to manually select Nudge elements on the submenu.
The Zoom view
When the Zoom view is selected (by clicking the Zoom tab), the upper
pane displays a close-up view of the beginning of the selected clip. The
main purpose of this is to help you splice two consecutive clips together
(in which case the Zoom view will display the end of the left clip and the
start of the right clip, as in the picture below). This splicing is done by ap-
plying short crossfades.
To make things clear, there are two main “types” of crossfades:
• The “artistic” crossfades, for example when you want to crossfade two songs to
make a nice transition.
Usually, these types of crossfades are quite long, and can easily be created from the Track
View.
