3.17 Workspaces

A Workspace is a window that provides an editing and playback environment for a particular

audio document type. Each type of Workspace presents the functions related to the speciﬁc

ﬁle types it is made for; this reduces clutter in the user interface.

In WaveLab there is a Workspace for each main type of ﬁle to edit:

Audio File Workspace - for viewing and editing Audio Files. See Audio File editing

Audio Montage Workspace - for assembling and editing audio montages. See

Audio Montages

Batch Processing - allows you to process a list of Audio Files with ofﬂine effects,

VST-plug-ins and Master Section presets. Each ﬁle is processed and then outputted

to a folder of your choice. You can run batches repeatedly if required. See Batch

Processing.

Control Window - for hosting and organizing tool windows (e.g. meters), especially

in a multi-monitor setup. You can choose not to use it if you do not ﬁnd it convenient,

since removing the Control Window does not remove any features of WaveLab. See

Control Window.

Podcast Workspace - for preparing and uploading Podcasts. See Podcasts

A Workspace is highly customizable, to match your workﬂow, experience and screen setups

(which may vary from a studio-based multi-screen DAW to a single-screen laptop on the

road). A Workspace can appear in a wide variety of styles, from a simple window with a

single menu in its most uncluttered form, to a sophisticated arrangement of Command bars,

tool windows, Tab groups and active meters.To meet the varied needs of users, custom

layouts can be saved (using Global > General window layout > Save as...) and restored

from a menu or shortcut. When a ﬁle is opened from a given Workspace, it is added to the

active tab group of this Workspace.If a ﬁle is opened from the application Workspace, a new

Workspace is created for it. You can have several instances of the same Workspace type

open simultaneously (for example, you could have two Audio File Workspaces open with

different layouts). However, for performance reasons it is generally better to have just one

instance of a Workspace type open at a time. You can drag ﬁles between Workspaces if

they both share compatible formats. For example, you can drag an Audio File from the Audio

File Workspace and drop it into the Audio Montage Workspace by using its tab bar or its

document button (this is located on the status bar at the bottom right of the Workspace).

For more information on using shortcuts to speed up your workﬂow in different Workspaces

see Dragging operations and Tab Groups.

Elements of a Workspace

Each Workspace is comprised of:

A Menu bar. Each Workspace has a different Menu bar, but certain menus are

shared among all Workspaces and each menu can be customized in various ways.

The Workspace menu has a sub-menu to show/hide the available Command bars and

tool windows. Alternatively, you can right-click in the menu (Windows) or caption bar

(Mac) area to access the Peripheral Windows Context menu.
