Eeeeeeeeeeteresting... If they add DDP, this will probably own the Mac mastering market in short time. Heck, if they add DDP I'll try it. |

The Sonoris DDP Creator 2.02 fixing all known issues and adding various "export to audio files" functions is literally around the corner - and could offer an inexpensive and easy way to add DDP functionality (i.e. export from Wavelab as cue+bin, import to Sonoris DDP Creator, export as DDPi). |

Meh. Call me picky, but I want an all-in-one solution like I've always had. No need to take a step backwards just to work on the OS I prefer. |

Mac or PC, WaveLab makes me want to blow my brains out. I just don't know how anyone uses it? |

WaveLab... makes me think too often about what to do next? |
Ed Littman wrote on Wed, 24 March 2010 13:07 | ||
Me on a daily basis. Using the montage with object editing,opens almost any file,unlimited instances,live input/analog input via asio,unique waveform restorer. etc. What's all the drama about Phil? Ed |

I just don't know how anyone uses it? Talk about unintuitive - I'm just too far gone into my indoctrination with Sequoia, I guess? The workflow just seems so much more logical? |

Whew. .. that's good ... I was dreading the progression we might see in a subsequent video seeing as how this is apparently what it took to get Mac support: |

Analog inserts should not only be able on the master also on the cd montage for me. Of course that would make not much sense for cd mastering. |
bblackwood wrote on Thu, 25 March 2010 08:36 |
I've not used WL past v4 (still use it for playback of digital files), so a lot may have changed. Fundamentally, Sequoia was 'further along' imo, seven years ago when I switched, but I'm certainly willing to give it a look. Somehow I doubt I'll make the switch, but I'd really love to get out of the Windows environment, and from the little I've read / heard regarding v7, WL is the first option to come along that may be a truly viable alternative... |
Ed Littman wrote on Thu, 25 March 2010 08:26 |
I've been using it with basically the same work flow since then & now up to latest v6. With the few added useful updates since v4, I doubt that your gonna want to change since the work flow & layout are basically the same(the latest v6) |

Unlike other Mac fans (I certainly prefer Mac if given a choice) I can't justify another hi-end Mac just to run WL when a <$1k PC works great. OTOH, if you you must have a Mac, I can't see a better option. |
Greg Reierson wrote on Thu, 25 March 2010 10:08 | ||
Interesting. I was a Sonic user when I first looked at WL4. It was cool but lacked important features I had in SS. WL5 was a significant upgrade and the external loop function of WL6 finally convinced me to ditch SS. WL7 doesn't seem to offer much I don't already have, but we'll see. GR |

iirc Brad wanted more routing options than WL offered but he can chime as to why jumped from it as his main daw. |
ak wrote on Wed, 24 March 2010 18:58 |
Why i am using SAMplitude is because i can master several tracks at the same time using two analog chains which is not possible with WL. |

a Mac Mini would probably be overkill... |

It seems to me you would need two firewire buses and a pair of interfaces. The only ones I'd trust are the metric halo ones. Does the mac mini have two separate firewire buses? I think you'd end up with a tower and cards. |
Ed Littman wrote on Thu, 25 March 2010 15:48 |
Before the external loop i just used the live input plug. iirc Brad wanted more routing options than WL offered but he can chime as to why jumped from it as his main daw. Ed |

Do you mean that with wavelab you can't have four separate outputs with separate processing? . |
MoreSpaceEcho wrote on Fri, 26 March 2010 12:41 |
you can run up to 8 out/8 in, but there's only one external loop available. |

Funny that you mention it. I actually asked Steinberg to build mastering console functionality into Wavelab but they replied that nobody would use buy so would be hard to sell. On the other hand trying to keep track of latencies and keeping everything in phase would be quite the challenge. That's why WL has only 1 external insert FX option. |

(perhaps a separate Sadie thread is warranted? ; - ) WaveLab users; tell us Mac guys ~why~ you like it, what it offers us. |

I guess I don't understand what you mean by external loop. As long as you save one output for the monitor couldn't you run the other seven to the outside world and back in again? |

Saves may or may not render, depending where you happen to be in the app (files may or may not render with save command, depending on settings; montages NEVER render on save, only on render). |
Quote: |
That's a small matter, because I've not found it's "External Gear" master insert to be reliable enough to use in the background. Every test has failed - I get gaps in rendered files, drop outs etc. It simply doesn't work reliably enough to trust. |
SafeandSound wrote on Fri, 18 February 2011 18:39 |
Incidently anyone yet tried a DDP creation in WL7 compared with DDP creator? Is Wavelab easy or a pain, I am still meaning to get my DVD and learn it sometime but no chances yet. |
bkuijt wrote on Fri, 25 February 2011 13:37 |
so far the logic in WL7 just completely escapes me. |

is wavelab 6 able to generate a ddp file with Cd text? |
Dave Rose wrote on Sat, 05 March 2011 07:06 |
I was undecided about Wavelab...but the fact you can't export DDP is probably the deciding factor |
Greg Reierson wrote on Sun, 06 March 2011 03:58 | ||
Don't let it be. With Sonoris DDP Creator, it's so easy to export a Cue Sheet and then create a DDP that you'll barely notice you've left Wavelab. Given the choice, I'd rather have WL6 and DDP Creator than WL7 with it's native DDP option. GR |
