Steinberg makes WaveLab 6 pre-release v6.0.1 (build 304) available

Steinberg has made pre-release version 6.0.1 (build 304) of WaveLab 6 available for download. Please note that this version is not officially supported.

Improvements:

• Overall performances have been sensibly improved (new optimizations), including file access.
• Silence processor: the mode « Insert until cursor » has been added.
• Preferences / File tab: there is now the possibility to specify the default sample rate of files without headers (e.g. certain telephony file formats).
• Live input of previous WaveLab versions has been reintroduced.

Issues corrected:

• Auto-Split tool: Fade option was always active, even if check box was unchecked.
• Fix problem when rendering a montage with clip or track plug-ins with an internal delay.
• Audio Montage: an effect clip envelope could still be visible after an effect change would make this envelope un-editable.
• Fix problem that caused an error message to sometimes appear when creating a peak file.
• Fix a rare problem with mp2 encoding.
• Batch processor: pitch shifting using the Dirac mode did not produce the exact expected file length.
• WMA file encoding: sometimes a wrong format was used rather than the selected one.
• It is not possible to use the Resampler plug-in when using the Smart Bypass tool. Now an error message is displayed (before, a crash could sometimes occur).
• Wave editor: a wrong paste operation would sometimes occur when pasting a mono segment.
• Audio Montage: when moved to another track while playing back, a clip with the ducker plug-in could cause a crash.
• Audio Montage: when copying clips with attached markers, some marker mismatch could occur.
• The function « Import special audio file » is no more limited to 2 GB files.
• Level envelope, Effect morphing and Pitch bend: when using a curve in « smooth mode », a click could occur at the edges.
• Audio montage: custom coloring could be done but was not saved.
• AES31 import: some things fixed related to mono tracks.
• Audio montage: when splitting multiple clips (« All tracks » menu), the option « create automatically new fades » was not taken into account.
• Folder options: the option « When opening WaveLab, set this folder », did not work.
• Improved use of multiple audio temporary folders (can lead to more speed).
• « External Gear » plugin: the message « wrong number of inputs / outputs » was sometimes displayed without a good reason.
• Fix some other minors things.
