![]() Regardless of platform, WaveLab has a single-window interface, inside which you can dock and undock tabs and move sections quite freely, so you have a lot of control over your layout. As a result it might feel slightly alien to Mac users, though you can alter the theme to make it more Mac-like. WaveLab doesn’t look much like Steinberg’s other products and this is a result of its having been developed as a separate, PC-only application. The system requirements are pretty reasonable, thanks in part to the fact that you’re only ever going to be running audio effects, not instruments. Although Cubase and other DAWs can do a lot of this kind of stuff, WaveLab does it better, and has many detailed tools that you won’t find in other applications.Īfter a fairly modest download you activate WaveLab online, and you’ll need a USB dongle to write the license to. ![]() It’s also very good at audio analysis and metering. It’s for audio editing, manipulation and processing and is geared towards things like creating podcasts or radio broadcasts and mastering albums. Although capable of multitrack audio recording, it’s not really aimed at music creation in the same way as Cubase is, lacking as it does support for MIDI or virtual instruments. Ride the Wave Before we get into what’s new it’s worth briefly recapping what WaveLab is for. A couple of years ago it was ported to the Mac platform, having for much of its life been a Windows-only app, and this move has broadened its appeal even further. ![]() Although it has had a somewhat lower profile than its more MIDI-centric sibling, WaveLab has nonetheless found its way into many studios, and in doing so has become a staple of the production process for a lot of musicians. Steinberg is perhaps best known for its flagship DAW, Cubase, but it has also for many years been making WaveLab, a dedicated wave editing and mastering package. ![]()
