Actually - launch date maintenance update. The devs confirmed that at their forum.

Do you also read at the Steinberg boards? If so, did you answer me similar over there as well?

From the WaveLab forum:

After checking: the file you try to open has the ALAC format (Apple Lossless).
WaveLab should be able to open them, but there unfortunately is a bug.
but there is a solution until a fix: just change the file extension to .caf, and WaveLab will be able to open them, if you use the 32 bit WaveLab version.

Oh, I am fully aware that this is a WL9 thread - you however insisted that WL9 doesn't bring anything new to the table and you rather stick to WL4. WL4 on he other hand is way over 10 years old and a lot of improvements have been seen outside of the plugin realm (like I said: native DDP usage, burning out of the host without a specific disc burner, HD audio support, rendering of various more audio formats, etc).

If you could read my post again, I said that WL4 is the last one that I bought and I'm using free audio editors now and I said that WL9 bring new things but I wanted to refer to thing that is annoying for me.

You said, to my understanding, that it "annoys you that Steinberg only seems to focus on new, re-coated plugins" - even if that's not the case.

...but that's none of my business (sips some tea)

The trial (and maintenance update 9.0.20) for WaveLab Pro 9 and Elements 9 is now available:

As usual, you need a USB e-Licenser to demo the full WaveLab Pro version but WaveLab elements doesn't require one to use the trial period.

What exactly do you mean by "offline audio file analysis"? Elements lets you analyze the file, and put out average rms, peak, and other stuff. Not sure what "offline" means though.

Offline usually refers to "non-realtime". Meters tend to be "real-time" based on whatever the DAW is playing, whereas offline allows you to select a section of a file (or the entire thing) and give you statistics about the file in a faster than real-time manner.

Ok. I don't know how to determine whether it's done offline in Elements though, to be honest. Maybe someone else can tell. Why is it so important though?

I only use WaveLab Pro (not elements) so I'm not sure if there is a limitation with Elements but offline analysis is useful for quickly getting the loudness stats of an entire file or selection, whereas real-time meters are good for analyzing while the transport is playing or recording.

Each one has it's own use and one is not more important than the other. Sometimes after I render a master file I want to analyze the entire thing to see the stats for peaks/RMS/dynamic range and the offline analyzer does this in a matter of seconds vs. playing the entire file and watching the meters.

I an only say that the global analysis works quite fast here. Even on bigger files, like, mix files and such. About 4 or 5 seconds for a ~80 minutes file.

Black theme is nice.

The Black theme is pretty nice - didn't think it would make such big dfference, actually.

Really like the update. The new layout and theme is a lot more settling on my eyes, so a win here talking personally.

chk071 · Post by **chk071** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 6:57 pm

I like the new layout, but it's a culture shock really, even in Elements. Really gotta get used to where the known functions are now...

WaveLab Pro 9 and WaveLab Elements 9 now available!
