WAVELAB
27 – 656 Synchronizing WaveLab to external devices
Sync to ASIO Positioning Protocol (APP)
In order to take advantage of the ASIO Positioning Protocol, your audio
hardware must be suitably equipped and the functionality must be in-
cluded in the ASIO driver for the hardware.
Hardware and software requirements for APP
• Your computer audio hardware must support all the functionality required
for the ASIO Positioning Protocol.
That is, it must be able to read the digital audio and the corresponding positional informa-
tion from the external device.
• There must be an ASIO 2.0 driver for the audio hardware.
• For resolving to external timecode, the audio hardware must have a time-
code reader built-in.
For information about which audio hardware models currently support
APP, see the Steinberg web site (www.steinberg.net).
Activating
When using the ASIO Positioning Protocol there is no setting up required
in WaveLab, since the timecode comes in directly via your audio hardware.
To activate APP sync in WaveLab, proceed as follows:
1. Click the playback start position icon to the left on the Transport bar.
A pop-up menu appears.
2. Select “Sync from ASIO Time Code” from the pop-up menu.
You can also activate ASIO sync mode by pressing [F9] on the computer keyboard.
• When APP sync is activated, WaveLab starts playing the wave file or the Audio
Montage as soon as time code comes in via ASIO.
It will be locked to exact positioning (with sample accuracy) from then on.
• If you need to stop and restart in sync, press [F9] twice, to deactivate and
reactivate the synchronization.
If the time code has a discontinuity, then WaveLab stops and restarts automatically at the
new position.
