15.9 Attack
Attack is the initial part of the sound. An attack is said to be fast when the maximum am-
plitude is reached very quickly (with percussive sounds from drums, guitar or piano, for ex-
ample). Orchestral strings generally have slow attack, where the volume increases more
slowly.

15.10 Audio montage
An Audio Montage is a compilation of audio Clips composited together. In WaveLab the
Audio Montage Workspace allows you to compile and edit multiple Clips (references to
Audio Files on disk) on one or more tracks.
The resulting Audio Montage can include both track and Clip-based effects, volume and pan
automation, wide-ranging fade and cross fade functions.
Multichannel support makes it possible to create surround mixes that can be burned to DVD-
Audio compatible disks.

common bit depths. Larger bit depths represent the sample more accurately and are less
noisy, but take up more space on the disk.
