Quick question: Is it possible to make the Global Analysis display the data after the master section has affected the audio?
Thanks!
I’m not sure I understand the question.
The Global Analysis works on the current samples, whether they were processed or not.
Thanks. Sorry if I’m being confusing.
For instance, I was wondering if the Global Audio Analysis displays the average loudness of the file the same as when it was imported even if a compressor is present in the master section. Or if you adjust the faders in the master, would that change the peaks? In other words, do the effects/meter changes influence the data in the Global Analysis window? That’s not exactly processing is it?
Global analysis takes only the wave samples as they are into account, I think is what PG means, without anything that’s in the master section. If you want the analysis on the resulting file after rendering, you actually need to render.
It’s a good idea I think - less clicking and undoing! Just a tickbox or so in the analysis panel. PG?
Thanks for your reply. I was hoping there was a Wavelab equivalent to freezing.
It could be either a preference, or as you said a tickbox on the window. Wouldn’t that be nice! 
As Arjan states, the Global analysis is not affected by the Master Section fader and plugins. Only when the audio is rendered to file.
