1.2 About Nero WaveEditor
Nero WaveEditor allows you to record pieces of music, edit the corresponding audio files, for
example using various filters and sound enhancement methods, and finally burn them using
Nero Burning ROM or Nero Express.
With Nero WaveEditor, you edit the audio files non-destructively in real time. Thanks to an
internal reference-based audio format, the editing history is simultaneously stored so that
changes can also be undone. Various effects (e.g. chorus, delay, flanger, hall), numerous
tools (e.g. stereo processor, equalizer, noise gate), sophisticated improvement algorithms
(band extrapolation, noise suppression, declicker) as well as the filters and tools within Nero
WaveEditor are provided to assist you in editing your files.
Technical information

2 Technical information
2.1 System requirements
Nero WaveEditor is installed together with the full version of Nero. Its system requirements
are the same. You can find more detailed information on the system requirements in the
Nero QuickStart Guide.
In addition, the following requirements apply:
Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0b (or greater).
The latest version of DirectX® can be downloaded from the Internet under
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx and installed.
Minimum 5 MB free hard-disk space
16-bit Windows® compatible sound card and speakers or headphones
Installation of the latest WHQL-certified drivers is recommended. WHQL stands for
Windows Hardware Quality Labs and means that the device driver from Microsoft® is
certified compatible with Microsoft® Windows® and the relevant hardware.
2.1.1 Supported Formats
Nero WaveEditor allows you to open the following formats or to save files in these formats:
*.AC3
*.aif, .aiff
*.mp3
*.wma
*.mp4
*.ogg
*.wav, .wave
*.nwf
Terminology
Page 8
3 Terminology
Sound is transmitted in air via waves. This characteristic gives rise to the following terms that
can be important for working with Nero WaveEditor:
Frequency is the number of vibrations per time unit. It is measured in Hertz.
In the case of a sound wave, the amplitude is perceived as volume (loudness). This is
the highest peak of a vibration.
Sampling rate indicates how often the sound card determines the sampling value of an
analog signal. It is measured in sampling values per second (Hertz or Hz). The higher the
sampling rate, the more precise the measurement, and the better the audio quality.
The sampling rate influences the frequency range. CDs use a sampling rate of 44,100 Hz,
in other words 44,100 sampling values per second. This means that frequencies of up to
22, 050 Hz can be recorded.
Bit depth indicates the precision with which a vibration will be captured. The higher the
bit depth, the more precise the capture, and the better the audio quality. CD's store audio
data in 16 bits. this means that each sample value can accept 65,536 possible values.
