6.2.1 Meta-normalizer
This dialog allows you to adjust the loudness of each Clip so that they get the same loudness.
You can use it to equalize the volume of all the Clips within a montage, either by peak level
or loudness. This can be an easy way to ensure that all Clips playback at a similar volume.
You can choose to only equalize the volume of selected Clips, and effects can be excluded
if you wish.
This tool is to achieve the same level of loudness in all Clips (the highest loudness found, if
possible), while ensuring that no Clip will cause sample clipping.
For each Clip, a specific gain is computed by the algorithm after all Clips have been analyzed
(and prior to changing the Clip gain to achieve the common loudness). If it is not possible to
match the highest found loudness, the level of the Clip with the highest loudness is reduced,
so that other Clips can achieve the same loudness.
To avoid clipping the Master Section you can also normalize the mixdown output of the mon-
tage (before it goes into the Master Section), and/or the Master Section output.
You can access this dialog from the Audio Montage Workspace by choosing Tools > Meta-
normalizer....

6.2.2 Configure external tools
This dialog allows you to configure WaveLab to work with external applications. You can pass
command line arguments to the external applications so that they can process the current
file/folder you are working on, or even the WaveLab's settings folder. This function can be
useful if you wish to edit an Audio File in another application, or wish to compress all your
settings files into a backup zip file, for example.
Note that an external tool only works within the Workspace in which it is defined. This is by
design, so that each type of Workspace can have its own external "toolkit".
To define an external tool you need to:
Give the command a title
Specify the path to the application's executable file
Choose which arguments you wish to pass to the external application
Additionally you can specify an initial folder to direct the external application to
