Marker names are auto-populated from file names, marker names are pushed to CD-Text in one click, I paste the artist name once and apply to all tracks, paste in the album title, enter the first ISRC code (if any) and the rest are populated etc. Also, I hate entering CD-Text/Metadata more than one time and WaveLab solves that issue.

Thanks!Yeah, for me it's important to render masters from the same montage so that whether I'm rendering a DDP, or master WAV files, or reference mp3 files, or a vinyl pre-master that all the track IDs are cohesive down to the CD frame/sample. but it is interesting to hear the feedback. I know only demo'ing for myself is the answer. I've been with v6 and have not like what followed. I hope that HOFA has expanded on editing capabilities and such.Īt the same time, I've been watching WaveLAB development. I've not yet upgraded to the latest release, but will soon. I'm looking at it from a similar perspective. I'm hoping for WaveLab 10 some improvements are made in the analog capture area but at this point, they would have to be very serious improvements to replace what I'm doing now with REAPER and all the custom scripts etc. I don't mind using multiple apps if at the end of the day I get things done faster, more accurately, and more easily. If I am mastering something all 'in the box' then I skip REAPER and use only WaveLab after I have cleaned up any issues in RX6 standalone. Where WaveLab excels is creating and exporting all the various master formats you may need. I mostly use WaveLab to assemble my captured/trimmed/cleaned audio and do all the sequencing, small touch-ups, and final digital limiting/dither etc. I do think it's weakness is the analog routing and the global master section so I've developed a workflow where I don't use the global master section or the external gear plugin.įor the analog processing (usually with some plugins inserted before going analog to sweeten things), I just use REAPER because it's perfect for this part of the process. I never have to use another app after WaveLab for metadata or anything else. Not only does it work well but it also saves me so much time each day.

Yeah, I very much like WaveLab 9.5 for the montage features, I can't imagine working daily without it.
