After failed attempts at trying to enjoy their Wave Editor to create redbook masters and DDP, I wrote Audiofile Engineering and got this reply. Very encouraging as they already seem to have most of the pieces of the puzzle well developed.
Here's the small reply and then below is their larger response posted on their website:
How can I use Wave Editor for mastering?
We have plans to develop a dedicated mastering application.Brad
2.2. How can I use Wave Editor for mastering?You might be surprised how often we get asked this question.
Wave Editor was never originally intended to replace traditional, dedicated mastering solutions. At the start, it was meant to be an elegant audio editing toolset, and a unique environment for sound design and manipulation.
However, we have continued to grow the application in response to our own needs, plus the needs and suggestions of our customers. As more and more individuals have jumped on board, we've been flooded with many different requests for a "mastering workflow" in Wave Editor.
We've arrived at some very compelling solutions to the problem of mastering, and looking forward, we are very excited to integrate them into future releases of Wave Editor. For the moment though, Wave Editor remains a tool that is a perfect fit for some steps of the mastering process, but it doesn't yet offer a seamless, end-to-end workflow.
If you have a particular mastering workflow that you would like to see, or you have a specific need for your mastering "dream product", we would love to hear about it:
[email protected]. As always, the input and opinions of our customers are what drive us towards creating the best audio tools possible, and we welcome any suggestions you may have.
Providing an integrated mastering workflow is something we're looking forward to offering, and we're confident it will be worth the wait. We know that there's a need out there, and a huge desire for something great.
We just want to be sure that when we do it, we do it right.
Thanks,
Your friends at Audiofile Engineering
