Steinberg’s SuperVision arrives in WaveLab and includes a new VU meter module.įor example, the layout is highly customisable, with up to nine individual metering/analysis modules (from the 27 module types available) being displayed within a single instance. While SuperVision undoubtedly duplicates some metering/analysis options that were already part of the WaveLab feature set, it does offer a number of attractive workflow advantages. WaveLab has always provided a range of different audio metering/analysis tools but Steinberg added a dedicated plug‑in for just this job in Cubase Pro 11 - SuperVision - and that plug‑in is now also available to WaveLab Pro users.
The ‘new and improved’ in v11 contains an interesting mix of things that will appeal long‑standing and potentially new users alike I’ll focus on these new features here. Independent podcast producers represent a massive new potential user base and need a software environment that suits their workflow and provides export formats targeted to their different broadcast platforms.Įxisting WaveLab users can be reassured that Steinberg have not reinvented the wheel with Pro 11 and its core features and major workflows (covered in many previous SOS reviews) remain intact. For mastering engineers (or musicians doing their own mastering), audio analysis and options for meeting the different loudness standards set by a diverse suite of streaming platforms have become critical over recent years. However, the needs of those users are always changing while, at the same time, the potential user base has expanded.įor example, for those working in film, the ability to work with an ever‑expanding set of multichannel audio formats is important. This includes musicians, audio editors in traditional radio, TV and film broadcasting, mastering engineers, audio analysis and audio forensics. Over the 25 or so years of WaveLab existence, a diverse user base have joined the ride. So, with a long list of ‘new for 11’ with this WaveLab Pro upgrade, let’s get started. This follows some impressive advances in the two most recent iterations of SpectraLayers Pro and, if your audio production work happens to span the broad catalogue of Steinberg applications, I think it is a good thing to see both WaveLab and SpectraLayers getting their share of the development attention. Thankfully for WaveLab’s loyal following, it would appear that Steinberg are not resting on their laurels, on paper at least WaveLab Pro 11 looks like it delivers a bumper bundle of new and improved features. While WaveLab is well‑established as leading audio editing software, audio formats and delivery platforms are constantly evolving, as are the demands placed by users on their software tools. The WaveLab department at Steinberg have been very busy indeed.
