{"product_id":"steinberg-wavelab-pro-11-retail-box","title":"Steinberg WaveLab Pro 11 - Retail Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eMastering is one of the most important parts of the music production process. It is a unique art and, for 25 years, WaveLab has been the number one choice for mastering professionals. \u003cstrong\u003eSteinberg WaveLab Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e is a complete mastering solution, with every tool that you will ever need to cover your workflow from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith significant new features for stem mastering, multitrack editing, plug-in parameter automation and podcast production, WaveLab 11 has the concept of “multi” running throughout it. With improved multi-channel file handling, multiple track sub-lanes and analysis meters, multi-core processing and more, WaveLab further enhances its status as the true art of mastering.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eMulti-channel interleaved support\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWaveLab 11 introduces extended support for multi-channel interleaved files and, for the first time, multi-channel interleaved editing in the Audio Editor. Supporting up to 22.2 surround layouts of WAV files (including Ambisonics files for pre-authoring purposes), a multi-channel file can be opened, edited and saved like any other set of mono\/stereo files. Featuring comprehensive controls to make precise editing easier, it’s also possible for external editors to work on selected channels only. The detailed new selection options include highly flexible frequency-domain selection in the Spectrum Editor. In the Audio Montage, automatic splitting of multi-channel audio files into mono or stereo clusters makes it fast to import a large multi-channel file. This also allows plug-ins to process channel clusters independently of one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eTrack Groups for multitrack\/stems workflows\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Groups comprise audio tracks which are routed to a group bus, before the signal continues through the Montage output and then Master sections. This provides an additional summing stage with effects plug-ins, gain and pan controls. Track Groups are especially useful for stem mastering and, alongside Track Lanes, another way to apply a common track group effect chain to stem mastering projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Groups can be created by selecting tracks from a corresponding Group Channel. Using the Track Group Editor, tracks and track groups can be named\/renamed, have colors assigned and moved per drag and drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eTrack Lanes for multitrack\/stems workflows\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Lanes is a flexible new feature that can divide an audio track into eight sub lanes, each lane hosting audio clips, a facility especially useful when working with mix stems inside the Montage. As well as clip effects, track effects can be applied to all clips, providing a final processing chain for all stems on the track. Track Lanes can also be used for sound design tasks like assembling, editing and processing sound effects from layered clips. Each Track Lane features comprehensive controls for selection, solo\/mute, fold\/unfold, lanes can be converted to tracks, selected tracks can be merged as lanes and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eParameter automation with clip envelopes\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eYou can now use clip envelopes to automate the parameters of VST 3 plug-ins. Along with the volume, pan and effect wet\/dry parameters, clip envelopes are managed from the new Automation Envelope panel in the Inspector window. Envelopes can be assigned to parameters by right-clicking on the parameter, single envelope points can be text edited, envelopes can be turned on\/off and their visibility is easily managed, individually or globally.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eSuperVision analyzer\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as the WaveLab analysis meter, WaveLab 11 features a new professional analysis tool, SuperVision. SuperVision is a fully customizable, multi-meter audio analyzer, with 27 different modules that can be applied in up to nine module slots for level, spectral, phase and waveform analysis. It allows the creation of a fully customized layout for a supremely accurate visual picture of any audio project. Multiple instances can be opened to monitor the audio signal at different stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eNew VST 3 effects plug-ins\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWaveLab 11 includes a range of new VST 3 effects plug-ins, delivering even greater possibilities for the most surgically precise sound-shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDeReverb: DeReverb is a completely new plug-in for WaveLab, designed to remove the reverb from the input signal in real time.
