WL12 Montage - analyze loudness post clip levels?

WaveLab
1

Hi,
First time poster. I searched but didn’t see a topic about this yet. WL Pro 12.0.30 on MacOS.

I have a bunch of files, added to a Montage laid out sequentially on a track. I used the Meta Normalizer to set the clip post levels to match a given LUFS output. All good.

I can use the Analysis tab to display curves showing the computed LUFS … pre clip volume. Say I edit the levels manually, or add a track or Montage output effect like a limiter. My question is whether there’s a non-destructive way to show the effective Montage output loudness as a curve in the track display, not just the source audio loudness.

I can do this in realtime using the Loudness tab, but I would love to see this analyzed as a curve in the Montage editor window if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can, although not in realtime, as any modification to a file has to be calculated first.
In the Loudness Profile tab of the Visual Analysis window you have the buttons Analyze and Analyze Rendering.
At first, select your desired clips and click Analyze to get the Version A loudness profile. Then click Analyze Rendering and WaveLab will prompt you for a Rendering of the selected clips. As result you get the Version B loudness profile, that includes any modifications done to the clip (envelopes, gain, clip/track/montage plugins, master section).
Also check the Online Manual for some more information.
