I’m just moving over from waveburner to Wavelab. In Waveburner I could quickly check an entire CD project for overload and max peaks. I could also look in a list and see the max level of each track.
I can not find a way to do that in the montage workspace I see that I can do it one track at a time from the audio files workspace, but that is time consuming and it seems to me that a sophisticated program like this must have a way to check for clipping over an entire CD quickly.
A montage is a complex structure, with real time effects here and there, possible sub-montages, etc.
If you want to get some stats on the whole montage, the best is to render it to a single temporary audio file and check that file.
You could also setup a batch process and use the Audio Analysis plugin to get some stats, without actually producing a new file.
Click Audio Montage output (make sure Clips and Master section output are not selected)
set Match specific loudness
set Loudness to 0.00 LUFS
set reference to Loudness of audio montage mixdown
set Limit digital peaks
set Maximum peak to 0.00dB
Click apply
If the montage is overpeak, the Master Volume slider under the Effects tab in the Montage window will show a negative number, which means you have peaked over 0.
This may seem complex, but you need to do settings 1 to 6 only once, then you can save them and in future you would only have to click Apply to test your montage. That’s quite quick.
