Settings

Wavecrate settings live in the top bar. Settings changes apply to the current app profile.

Volume and Tooltips

The volume slider controls preview volume for sample audition playback.

The help tooltips button turns hover help on or off. When enabled, hover controls to see what they do.

Audio Engine

Open the Audio Engine panel from the top bar to inspect or change playback output.

• Backend: choose the available audio host or backend.
• Output: choose the playback output device.
• Sample Rate: choose the playback sample rate, or use the device default when available.

If an audio device disappears or cannot be opened, Wavecrate shows the audio error in this panel.

General

Open General settings for file-safety and maintenance controls.

• Trash Folder: choose where Wavecrate should send files when using trash-style actions.
• Clear: remove the configured trash folder.
• Clear Rebuildable Caches: remove caches Wavecrate can rebuild, such as generated preview/cache data.

Choose the trash folder deliberately. Trash and delete actions can affect files on disk.

Release Updates

When Wavecrate knows a newer release is available, the top bar shows the release update control. Use it to open the release download page.
