Templates

Templates are a convenient way to configure document-specific user interface settings. They can be used to configure almost any non-global interface setting.

To create a Template, you can use a current audio file or simply create a new, empty file. Configure the document window as desired and select File > Save As Template... and name it in the "Save As Template" dialog.

Note

Attributes such as time units and trim/threshold preview settings are also saved with Templates. Document window settings are saved with native Wave Editor files. The Default Template applies only to new documents and non-native Wave Editor files such as AIFF or WAVE files.


Save As Template...


Apply A Template

You may create an unlimited number of Templates. To apply a Template to any open Wave Editor document simply go to Window > Apply Template and select from the list.


Default Template

To set the default template, choose Wave Editor > Preferences > Document and select a Default Template from the pop-up menu.


Create a New file using a specific Template

To create a new document and apply a specific Template, choose File > New and select a Template from the menu.

Templates are portable, so you can send them to your friends or post them online to share. The original template files are all stored in /Users/<your home directory>/Library/Application Support/Audiofile/Wave Editor/Templates . If you copy a Template to this directory, it will be available in Wave Editor.


Application Global Options

The following options are global to Wave Editor, which means they are not saved within individual Templates:
