PLEASE keep feature parity in those areas and continue development for podcast/streaming-oriented features. Professional, higher-level podcast and streaming production has become an important workflow consideration (and real revenue opportunity) for some audio engineers and producers who cover a wide range of work, and itвЂ™s good to have one вЂњmasteringвЂќ product that has all those key features too. I was concerned that the Wavelab Cast features were going to be relegated to a separate product and not given enough importance and development, but itвЂ™s good to see that you have brought those features to the full versions of Wavelab too.

Will probably wait several weeks for the first patch though! But really great feature list, lots of things IвЂ™ve been hoping for, and also very happy to see even the вЂњcastingвЂќ features added inвЂ¦ yes, professional podcasters and streamers need these tools.

#WAVELAB 6 UPGRADE SERIAL NUMBER#

When the upgrade came I was careful to cut the serial number off the box and store it in the manual.Looks like a total no-brainer upgrade in several areas. A call to the sales department at Steinberg US gave me the serial number I would need to finish the installation.

#WAVELAB 6 UPGRADE ACTIVATION KEY#

Who keeps the cardboard box? I certainly donвЂ™t, so all I had was the CD and an activation key (which is not the same as the serial number). I had one slight problem - the only place to find the serial number is on the outside of the glossy cardboard box that contained my version 5 CD and manual.

#WAVELAB 6 UPGRADE INSTALL#

The version 6 upgrade requires that you have both your earlier version CD and serial number close at hand when you purchase and install the upgrade. The upgrade process is otherwise simple but not necessarily painless. Those of you who have read this column for awhile know how I feel about losing the use of another USB port, so I wonвЂ™t belabor the issue. But WaveLab users who upgrade from version 5 or earlier will need to purchase a dongle for an additional $30.

#WAVELAB 6 UPGRADE FULL VERSION#

The full version of WaveLab comes with the same Synchrosoft USB dongle that is included with Cubase SX and Nuendo, which means that if you own a вЂњdongledвЂќ Steinberg product, you can add a WaveLab license to that dongle using a simple online form. There is one new feature that may not please some, and thatвЂ™s the addition of a USB dongle as copy protection.

You will also want a multichannel audio interface with ASIO drivers, especially if you want to use the multichannel capabilities of WaveLab. The extra RAM helps speed up processing actual audio editing is disk-based so the size of audio files is not limited by RAM. You will want a 2.4GHz Pentium IV and a gig of RAM for best performance, and of course a large hard disk. It needs a minimum Pentium III at 800MHz, 256MB of RAM, and either Windows XP or 2000. WaveLabвЂ™s requirements are little-changed since version 5. WaveLab is a PC-only stereo editor that comes with a broad selection of plug-ins, a 32-bit floating point audio path for maximum internal headroom, the ability to create DVD-A discs, an Audio Montage function that lets you record up to eight simultaneous tracks and play an unlimited number, and an 800-page manual to describe it all. For those of you who havenвЂ™t yet checked out what I think is the best stereo editor on the market, itвЂ™s high time (for a look at version 5, see the January 2005 issue of RAP). However, the new functions are not just eye- or ear-candy, but serious productivity-enhancing tools. Each new version seems to bring new tools and features to the program, without ever sacrificing stability or performance.ДЇor those of you already using WaveLab, version 6 adds several new features to a stereo editor that already has more functions than most will use. Since its introduction in 1996, Steinberg has continued to update WaveLab, popping out a major revision every couple of years.

IвЂ™ve been using WaveLab once a week for years to edit half-hour radio shows and to master CDs, and lately it has been pressed into service to edit assorted podcasts.
