Hey, new Wavelab user here. I used Pro Tools for mastering before but Wavelab can give me a better « all in one » solution. I just struggle with a thing. I can’t find a way to record a track output digitally. I sometimes want to print the process to get rid of tweaking and I can’t find a way to do it digitally without sending the audio out of my DA and back into AD to capture the audio like I would do with an analog chain. Can someone help me with this please? Thanks
Render your track to an audio file. That will be your recording and it is much faster than recording.

I use analog matrix (analog streaming in real Time) so I can’t render offline. I just want to find a way to record a track output into Wavelab directly.
Thanks
WaveLab doesn’t have traditional busses like Pro Tools, so it’s not as simple as changing a track output to bus 1-2 and setting the input of a new track to bus 1-2 and recording in real-time like you’d do in Pro Tools.
I think there is something related to recording the output of the Master Section back to a new track but since I never do it I can’t say more about how to do it or where to look.
I don’t know what “analog matrix (analog streaming in real Time)” really means but what you can do is play audio out from a REFERENCE Track in a WaveLab Audio Montage, through some analog equipment/routing, and record that back to a new Audio Montage Track in real-time if that helps.
You can render with this option. This will produce a file that you then insert into another track, if this is what you need.
It could be the solution, it’s not the most convenient since I have to go search for the file to reimport it into montage but it could work.
An other question, can you render reference tracks? I ask you this because i sometimes print through analog but sometimes i don’t. I use reference track to print to analog and then back into wavelab on a classic audio track but for the sake of not having a different template when i’m fully in the box i wondered if it’s possible to render reference track? This way i can work on 1 same track without bothering if i’m going to print to analog or go 100% in the box.
There is an option to open the rendered file, on completion.
Then it is just a matter of dragging its tab to the montage track (drag the tab on the montage tab, wait one second, then continue dragging). No need to search the file on the media.
Or if you don’t like to use drag and drop, just right-click on the track where you want to insert the file, there is then a popup menu from which you can select the just just rendered file.
No, by design.
Commonsense recording is not possible with Wavelab. Use other programs.
