19 – 500 The Audio Montage
Cloning Montages
There are two ways to make a “clone” of an Audio Montage: “Quick clon-
ing”, in which the new clips will reference to the original audio files, and
“Full cloning”, in which the actual audio files are cloned as well, creating a
new “self-contained” Montage.
Quick cloning
This method is useful if you want to create several versions of the Montage,
for example experimenting with variations. Note however that any process-
ing or editing you apply to the actual audio files will be reflected in both
Montages, since they share all file references.
1. Select the Edit view by clicking the Edit tab.
2. Pull down the Edit view : Special menu and select “Quick cloning (reuse
audio files)”.
A clone of the Audio Montage is created and appears in a new untitled window.
• You can also create a “quick clone” by clicking the document button of the Mon-
tage window and dragging to an empty area in the WaveLab window.
Full cloning
There are several uses for Full cloning.
• Since the cloned Montage will have its own audio files, you can edit and process
these files without affecting any other Montages.
• It is also a good way to “pack” the Montage, removing all unused audio sections.
• Even if you don’t need a copy of the Montage as such, you can use this feature to
split audio files and give them specific names (using the “Create exactly one file
per clip” option).
Note that Full cloning doesn’t render effects to files (as does the Render
function). It merely “re-maps” file references.
