Spectrum Editor, Wavelet Display and Audio Inpainting Please note that a Steinberg eLicenser dongle, sold separately, is required to activate Pro, but software authorization (i.e., no dongle) can be used with Elements. While the Pro version has a list price of €559.00 EUR, and an upgrade price of €59.99 EUR, Elements, whose features are limited compared to its full-featured sibling (but is still absolutely capable of a wide variety of tasks), is €99.00 EUR. There’s more: Wavelab now supports High DPI, which means that the software is fully supported by the modern ultra-high resolution displays. So there is the possibility of a significant improvement when processing files with this new powerful engine.

Wavelab (either version) now features a 64-bit audio engine, just like Cubase, that uses double precision computation for increased accuracy and detail from summing, mixing and effects. And that is just one of Wavelab’s amazing features. You can drag entire folders into Wavelab and simply apply fades, or normalize levels, or add one or more effects, to a whole list of files, which can then be exported into a separate folder so you won’t lose your originals. So many things are to be found in the suite – and wait, don’t forget about the batch processing options. They are audio editors and mastering suites, so their features will move in two directions: morphing, cutting, processing, organizing audio files, or mastering (in fact, almost all of the plugins in the Master Rig have been updated with new features). Wavelab Pro 9.5 and Wavelab Elements are most certainly products that everyone should consider, whether you’re making music, organizing samples, are a mastering engineer or a sound designer.

In this review we will have a tour of the main new features introduced in the 9.5 versions, if you wish to learn more on how Wavelab works, you can check these earlier reviews of WaveLab 8.5 here and Wavelab 9 here. New versions of Steinberg’s professional audio editors are here, with great new features that further raise the level of these already impressive software sound utilities. Let’s see what’s new in Steinberg’s masterful audio tools. Wavelab Pro and Wavelab Elements just got better with their latest incarnations, both now at version 9.5.
