Reference Track is also new to WaveLab 10 Pro, which lets you drag in any audio file to the session as a reference, and switch playback between the reference and montage track with minimal latency. External editor support is also featured, meaning you can integrate editors such as SpectraLayers or iZotope RX into your workflow, allowing clips to be edited within these editors from within WaveLab. The EQ effects and newly added tube compressor are some of the best plugins we tested, and have a good selection of presets to help you get started.WaveLab Pro offers external effect device integration, allowing you to set up external FX busses in your signal path for further mastering flexibility. You can add two effects per track to smooth out the sound of each voice. With WaveLab you can only record three tracks of audio per session, but WaveLab has a high-quality recording engine that allows you to record in high-fidelity.
Some programs we tested, like Audacity and Reaper, allow for an unlimited amount of audio tracks. This software is designed to be more of an editing software than a comprehensive solution for recording audio, but it does have user-friendly recording features.
This software includes loudness processing to help boost your recording to industry standard volume levels, and can export all the popular file types, including MP3, AAC and lossless formats like FLAC and WAV. If you publish on iTunes, WaveLab helps you designate a specific category and export a publish-ready file.
Once you click on the Create Podcast button in the file menu, the software walks you through the process of inputting info, like the podcast title, a URL address and photos. WaveLab has a template specifically designed to produce, edit and publish podcasts.
