19 – 442 The Audio Montage
Editing source files
Editing the Montage may require that you process or edit the actual audio
files referenced by the clips. This is done in the following way:
1. Right-click on the clip to bring up the clip speed menu.
2. Select Edit from the Source submenu.
A Wave window opens, showing the referenced source audio file with a selection corre-
sponding to the clip.
3. Edit the file as desired, save it and return to the Audio Montage.
You can also use the following methods to edit the source file:
• Drag the clip onto the WaveLab desktop.
• Double click in the mouse zone used for dragging/copying clips (by default the
Top Clip area).
• Drag a selection range onto the WaveLab desktop.
In this case, the selection in the Wave window will correspond to the selection range, rather
than the clip.
Please note the following:
• Any editing you perform this way will affect all clips that use the audio file
(including clips in other Audio Montages).
If this is not what you want, you should consider using the “Clone and Substitute” function
before editing (see below).
• You can undo/redo all changes in Wave windows, and these changes will
be reflected immediately in all open Montages.
• If you reduce the length of the source audio file, so that it ends before the
clip end point, the end of the corresponding clip(s) will be displayed in an-
other color (inverse video), to alert you.
• If you use “Save as” to save the source audio file under another name, the
Montage will now refer to that new file instead.
This is true for all open Montages that refer to the file.
