WAVELAB
The Audio Montage 19 – 443
Cloning and substituting source files
If you want to edit the source file of a clip, without the risk of affecting any
other clips, you should use the function “Clone and substitute” on the
Source submenu on the clip speed menu. This creates a copy of the audio
source file, and makes the clip reference to this new file. As a result you can
edit the source file without affecting other clips or the original audio file.
The cloned audio file will have the same name as the original, but with the
suffix “_#X”, where X is a number.
For example, if the original file is called “Piano.wav”, the first clone you make will be called
“Piano_#1.wav”. If you repeat the procedure with another clip referencing to “Piano.wav”,
that clone will be called “Piano_#2.wav”, and so on.
The cloned audio file will be stored in the folder specified in the “Implicit
folder” dialog on the Edit view : Options menu.
The “Implicit folder” is used when WaveLab needs to save files to disk. It
is similar to the “Temporary folders” setting in the Edit folder dialog (see
“Folder editing” on page 731), but with one important difference: Files
stored in the “Implicit folder” are not “temporary”, that is, they are not de-
leted when you close WaveLab. This is necessary since the Montage
contains references to the files.
