The new Master and Album montages streamline ADM file handling, loudness normalization, and A\/B comparisons with stereo masters. WaveLab 13 also introduces powerful new plug-ins like MasterRig 2, VocalChain, and UltraShaper, plus new creative tools for pitch shifting and spatial processing. Productivity enhancements such as multicore rendering, synchronized tab playback, and advanced envelope editing accelerate complex projects. Combined with improved visual organization and side-chain routing, WaveLab 13 delivers a complete solution for modern mastering.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eDOLBY ATMOS MASTERING\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Master montage makes mastering a single ADM file flexible and efficient. At its core is the innovative Immersive Plug-in Hub, which enables standard VST 3 plug-ins to be inserted across up to 128 audio channels through a single interface. Full creative control is maximized by customizable sidechain routing and efficient mixdown of all channels. Sample level editing can be performed with WaveLab’s internal tools, while loudness and TruePeak normalization ensure consistent, professional results. A stereo reference track also enables accurate A\/B comparison and length alignment of the ADM file with a stereo master.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Album montage allows multiple ADM files to be assembled into a single, cohesive album master. They can be sequenced much like a stereo montage, arranged on one or multiple tracks. Clips can be visualized in multiple formats, from stereo through to 9.1.6, with the option to update the display automatically to match the Dolby Atmos Renderer.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLoudness and TruePeak normalization ensure accurate levels across multiple ADM files, with options to preserve or adjust differences between them and stereo masters. Stereo reference clips allow easy A\/B comparison with the Atmos stream. Compatible ADM files can also be combined into a new file with crossfade support — ideal for live recordings or audiobooks — while multiple ADM files of any type can be merged into one.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eWORKFLOW AND PRODUCTIVITY\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTrack plug-ins with sidechain capabilities can now have clip audio signals routed directly to them. The signal level from each clip can be adjusted, giving precise control over dynamics and creative effects. Workflows for techniques like ducking and rhythmic processing are simplified, opening up new possibilities for detailed, expressive sound design.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe visual organization of projects is improved by allowing the colors of clips and tracks to be managed automatically, based on custom rules. These rules can reference clip or track names, applied effects, or even clip position, creating a clear and structured view of complex sessions. By reducing visual clutter, this feature helps users to navigate projects faster and maintain creative focus.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFull A\/B comparison of audio files and clips is now possible through WaveLab’s powerful multi-tab interface, ensuring a smooth and intuitive workflow. When this option is active, switching to another tab seamlessly continues playback from the same audio position as the previous tab.  This is particularly useful for comparing related files, such as different versions of the same project, with precise ease.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEnvelope editing now offers new options for greater precision and efficiency. Clone editing applies changes across all selected clips, while grouped fade editing streamlines adjustments for clip siblings. Fine control mode further enhances accuracy by damping mouse movements, allowing detailed edits without slowing down the workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFull multicore support for Audio Montage elements means WaveLab 13 delivers dramatically faster workflows and unparalleled efficiency for complex projects. Multiple tasks can be processed simultaneously, significantly reducing rendering times. For example, rendering ten titles now takes only approx. 10% of the previously required time (depending on CPU performance), saving hours and allowing more focus on creativity and production quality.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eNEW PLUG-INS:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMasterRig 2: The next-generation mastering plug-in suite has undergone a major update, introducing a sleek modern design, fully scalable user interface, and sidechain support.
