Hamburg/AES Munich - ictw - Steinberg unveiled the new WaveLab 3.0 Audio-Editing and Processing Software with flexible CD-Burning and real time PlugIn Architecture. Also WaveLab 3.0 introduces a new revolutionary non-destructive editing system, called Audio-Montage. The flexibility and power of this system, together with its full integration with the renowned power and flexibility of WaveLab, makes it stand apart from existing solutions.
The Audio Montage System offers an intuitive user interface - any information you need is accessible at one glance. In the multi-pane tabbed Window the user finds a complete view on the required aspects of his montage: the audio clips, the markers, files, CD-Burning parameters, edit history and much more.
"> All editing is clip based, just by dragging an audio file or just a selection into the montage window creates a new clip on an existing audio lane or a clip on a new lane. Every clip owns a transparent waveform to display overlapping regions and the waveforms are also reshaped if you apply fade, volume, or pan envelopes. Moving of clips is presented in a sprite like way: You always see the entire clip with its waveform as you move it.
The editing is entirely non-destructive: Fades, crossfades and pans happen in realtime with the new state-of-the-art fade system. It utilises various auto-crossfade modes (eg. automatic crossfading simply by moving clips onto one another), graphical design of the fade shapes (any shape is possible), real-time computed crossfades, mono and stereo crossfades plus an exclusive waveform recognition technology to smartly adjust the position of clips to avoid harmonic cancellations in crossfade regions.
Audio Clips can be grouped in hierarchies and the edit history gives the user maximum control over his edits. The entire montage can be played back and processed through WaveLab's unique real time MasterSection utilising up to six of any WaveLab, VST or DirectX compatible PlugIns. The non-destructive Meta-Normalizer helps to automatically equalize the loudness of all clips in the audio-montage or all tracks for a CD-Burning session.
Additionally WaveLab 3.0 supports the new VST 2.0 PlugIn Architecture, can open and save MP3 files if the proper drivers are installed and WaveLab 3.0 now offers the renowned high-quality time-stretch and pitch-shift engine from Steinberg Spectral Design's TimeBandit.
And, of course, so much more...
