The extended external effects functionality allows you to integrate external effect devices into WaveLab Pro. See External Effects.

The Audio Editor now also has a History window. This allows you to see all versions of the audio file that you are working on. You can restore previous versions. See History Window for Audio Files.

Rendering audio files in real time allows you to listen to the audio file while it is being rendered. See Rendering Audio Files in Real Time.

You can edit clips inline in a non-destructive Waveform Editor or Spectrum Editor. This allows you to edit a selection range without modifying the original clip. See Inline Editing.

This window allows you to add effect plug-ins to tracks, clips, and the montage output. The Inspector replaces the Effects window. See Inspector Window.

The reference track allows you to compare your mix to a reference audio file or input signal without latency. See Reference Track.

You can monitor and render the audio input through the Master Section. Optionally, you can add plug-ins and external effects to the live input rendering. You can also render multiple live input streams with different plug-ins and output formats in parallel. See Live Input Rendering.

WaveLab Pro supports the integration of video files in your project. See Video.

You can now edit audio files and clips in external editors. For example, in SpectraLayers, Izotope RX, or Melodyne 4. See External Editors.

REVelation produces a high-quality algorithmic reverb with early reflections and reverb tail. This plug-in is described in the separate document “Plug-in Reference”. For further information, see the Plug-in Reference documentation on steinberg.help.

Frequency is a high-quality equalizer with 8 fully parametric bands. The bands can act as either shelving filter, as peak or notch filter (band-pass), or as cut filter (low-pass/high-pass). This plug-in is described in the separate document “Plug-in Reference”. For further information, see the Plug-in Reference documentation on steinberg.help.

Magneto II simulates the saturation and compression of recording on analog tape machines. This plug-in is described in the separate document “Plug-in Reference”. For further information, see the Plug-in Reference documentation on steinberg.help.

By default, reverting to a previous version deletes all versions that were created after the selected version. Now, you can keep undone versions when reverting to previous versions. See Reverting to Previous Versions.

Edit indicators allow you to see where audio parts have been edited. You can then recover previous versions of the edited parts without losing the changes you have made to the rest of the audio. See Edit Indicators.

The track control area offers several new navigation options and other settings. See Track Control Area.

You can now freely resize the track height and width in the montage window. See Resizing Tracks.

The scripting system now allows you to run batch processors. For further information, see the WaveLab Pro Scripting documentation on steinberg.help.

In the File Browser window, you can now listen to the selected audio file from any position by clicking the waveform in the Preview area. If the audio file contains markers, the markers are displayed in the preview waveform. See File Browser Window.

The Audio-Processing Load display shows the average audio-processing load of plug-ins during playback. This allows you to monitor the number of plug-ins you can use. See Audio-Processing Load.

You can make markers snap to the nearest zero-crossing point on the waveform when you create markers via key commands. See Snapping to Zero Crossing When Creating Markers.

When you save audio files, the history is no longer deleted. Now you can use undo/redo even after saving audio files. See Saving an Audio File.

You can now add ITRK (track number) and IFRM (total number of tracks) to the RIFF metadata. You can now also add TCMP (Part of a compilation) to the ID3v2 metadata. See Metadata.

Now you can add the metadata TCMP (Part of a compilation) to your audio file. See Metadata Dialog.

This option allows you to see the CD track that is played back from within the CD window. See CD Window.

The toolbar of the CD window now displays the album title of the CD. See CD Window.

If you render audio montages to audio files in real time, this allows you to listen to the audio file while it is being rendered. See Rendering Audio Montages to Audio Files in Real Time.

This option allows you to see the marker that is played back from within the Markers window. See Markers Window.

The Quantize options in the Move Multiple Markers dialog allow you to automatically apply quantization after the markers have been moved. See Move Multiple Markers Dialog.
