WaveLab Pro 13 is a mastering and audio editing software suite from Steinberg. It offers a Dolby Atmos mastering workflow, multicore rendering, and a set of plug-ins for mastering and audio editing in VST3 format.
WaveLab Pro 13 is Steinberg's mastering and editing environment, aimed at producers and engineers who need to finish stereo and immersive projects. The developer describes it as a complete platform for audio work, combining editing tools, real-time plug-in effects and offline processing. Version 13 adds Dolby Atmos mastering tools, a refreshed MasterRig 2 suite, and workflow changes to the Audio Montage, so you can compare, process and render projects with less friction.
WaveLab Pro 13 introduces a Dolby Atmos mastering workflow, which the developer presents as an intuitive way to prepare immersive audio. Steinberg says this makes immersive production simpler and more efficient.
Multicore rendering is the other headline change for heavier projects. Steinberg states that it speeds up complex rendering jobs, which matters most when a session contains many clips, plug-ins and processing stages.
The Audio Montage gains more than 15 new features, including plug-in chain handling and new color and visualization options. Tab synchronized playback lets you run A/B comparisons between audio files and clips from the multi-tab interface.
Version 13 also adds plug-ins such as VocalChain, Underwater and UltraShaper, and updates the MasterRig 2 mastering suite. Sidechain support simplifies techniques like ducking and rhythmic processing.
