TutorialsSteinberg WaveLab LiteSteinberg WaveLab LiteSteinberg Wavelab Lite is an easy-to-use, stereo digital audio recorder and editor. Youcan use it to record and edit audio from the Digital Audio System or import tracks fromCDs. Audio recorded in WaveLab can be saved in WAVE or AIFF formats.In this tutorial you’ll learn how to use WDM drivers (E-DSP WAVE) to transfer digitalaudio between the Digital Audio System and Wavelab Lite. WDM works well for stereorecordings, but ASIO is best for low-latency, multi-track recording.After you have finished the tutorial we encourage you to read the WaveLab Lite pdfmanual in order to learn about all the features of this powerful program.1 - Setting up WaveLab LiteFollow these instructions carefully to ensure that Wavelab Lite runs smoothly the firsttime. WaveLab Lite will remember these settings, so you’ll only have to do this once.1. Open Wavelab Lite from the Start menu or by double-clicking the desktop icon.2. Select Preferences from the Options menu. The Preferences window appears.3. Select the Audio Card tab to display the following screen.4.

TutorialsSteinberg WaveLab Lite2 - Turning on the PatchMix WAVE SendWaveLab Lite interfaces with PatchMix DSP using WAVE audio instead of ASIO. A WAVESend is included in the PatchMix Product Default session. You just have to turn it on.This is the setup you’ll use with any application that uses WAVE instead of ASIO.Open PatchMix1. Left-click once on the E-MUicon on the Windows System Tray. The PatchMixDSP mixer window appears.2. Make sure that the Product Default session is loaded. This session is easily recog-nized by the presence of TWO Sends in the Aux 1 section (yellow box below).

Verify that you have meter activity on the channel.Turn up the Aux Send 1 Amount4. Turn up the Aux Send 1 Amount on the input channel you are using. In thescreen above, signal is coming in on Dock Inputs 1L/1R, and the Aux 1 Amount isturned up all the way to 0.0dB, as shown by the arrow.5. Notice the Send highlighted above in yellow. The TV screen shows this to be aWAVE Send. By turning up the Aux 1 Amount, you routed the signal to the Aux 1bus and then out the WAVE Send.16Creative Professional

TutorialsSteinberg WaveLab LiteUsing the Mono Inputs as a Stereo Pair6. Notice that the mono input channels are panned hard left and hard right. This hasbeen done so that the two mono inputs can be used as a stereo pair. The two monochannels will be combined into one stereo signal in the Aux Bus.7. If you wish to use the two mono inputs as a stereo pair, simply turn up the Aux 1Sends for both mono channels. (To record in mono, just turn up one channel.)3 - Recording1.

TutorialsSteinberg WaveLab LiteImportant Note when using WDMWhen using WAVE applications, avoid mismatched sample rates. The sample rate ofyour application MUST match the sample rate of the Digital Audio System. If theWindows WDM drivers detect different sample rates, they will automatically perform asample rate conversion to correct the mismatch. You might not hear the difference, butyou might as well go for the best possible audio quality.Record5. Click the red Record button on the record dialog box. Recording begins.6. Click the Stop button to stop recording. A new untitled window appears with yourrecording.Normalize?7. Many people will Normalize the recording at this time. Normalization increases thegain until the loudest peak reaches a preset level (usually 0dB). Normalization islocated in the Process menu.
