The Track Inspector comes with two new sections, providing specialized channel strips for real-time audio processing and radically simplifying the enhancement of audio tracks with straightforward “one knob” controls. Another highlight is the new LINpro dithering plug-in developed by the mastering specialists at MAAT Incorporated. Then there’s DeReverb, a completely new plug-in exclusively available in WaveLab and designed to remove the reverb from the input signal in real time.

WaveLab Pro 11 comes with brand-new VST 3 effects plug-ins including Frequency 2, Squasher, Imager, Quadrafuzz v2, MixConvert V6 and VST AmbiDecoder. Alongside its analysis meter, WaveLab Pro 11 now features the SuperVision analyzer, offering fully customizable, multi-metering audio analysis, with 17 different modules applied in up to nine module slots. With the new Automation Panel, clip envelopes as well as volume, panning and effect parameters are easily managed. WaveLab Pro now provides parameter automation with clip envelopes to automate the parameters of VST 3 plug-ins. Another great addition for stem mastering is that track lanes can now divide an audio track into eight sub lanes for working with mix stems inside an audio montage and assembling, editing and processing sound effects from layered clips. Newly available in the Pro edition, WaveLab now includes track groups for multitrack/stems workflows, allowing for audio tracks to be routed to a group bus with effects plug-ins, gain and pan controls, before the montage output and master sections.

In turn, WaveLab Pro now offers extended support for multichannel interleaved audio files for opening, editing and saving up to 22.2 and Ambisonics surround sound formats, with easier editing and detailed selection options. And with its 11th version, WaveLab Elements has received a further boost with its feature set, inheriting advanced plug-ins from the Pro edition, such as the DeEsser, Expander and PingPong Delay, and the extra metering modules as well as including the complete set of functions from WaveLab Cast to create podcasts and audio for vlogs. The smaller edition, WaveLab Elements, is used by many musicians, radio journalists and podcasters.
