Changing the Plug-in Order
Changing the order of plug-ins can radically change the sound of the region or mix
being processed. Feeding a region through a reverb
→
chorus
→
delay chain delivers
very different tonal results to feeding the same region through a delay
→
chorus
→
reverb, even when identical settings are used for all three effects. This difference in tone
is due to particular frequencies in your region being emphasized/de-emphasized by
each effect, and then magnified or suppressed, by the ensuing processes.
To change the plug-in order in the Plug-in lists:
m Click-hold on the plug-in name, and drag it up/down to the desired position.
Using Plug-in Chains
You can save plug-in chains set up in the Plug-in lists. You can also load previously
saved plug-in chains. Simply select the appropriate function from the Plug-In Path
menu next to the Add Plug-in menu.
Using the Level Meter
You can monitor the audio output levels of your projects with the Level Meter. As a
project plays back, the levels in each stereo channel change constantly with the rising
and falling of the audio signal. The Level Meter shows these changes as blue bars that
run from left to right; the farther right, the higher the level for that channel.
Momentary peaks are shown as thin yellow bars in each channel.
The bars in the Level Meter turn red past the 0 dB mark, acting as clipping indicators.
You can check your project for clipping.
To check a project for clipping:
m Choose Disc > Check Disc for Clipping.
Burning a Project to a CD
When your project is complete, you can burn the project to a CD. The resulting audio
CD conforms to Red Book standard and can be played on any audio CD player.
Getting Ready to Burn a CD
Before you burn your project to a CD, there are several things you should do to
prepare:
• Check that the CD burner is connected, turned on, and working.
• Check that WaveBurner recognizes the CD burner.
• Set Disc Options for the project.
• Preview the transitions between tracks.
Supported CD Burners
