Wavelab Pro 9.5 Hack Manual To Find

Youll want to consult the manual to find out precisely what each of these does (because theres a lot of detail), but two are particularly useful even for non-scientists.

Here, Hollin Jones guides you through each step youll need to take to get it right using Steinberg WaveLab.

Although it has many talents, mastering music is what it is arguably best known for.

Heres a guide to the steps youll need to take to master your music in Wavelab.

Although the version shown is the Pro version, I have tried to stick to mostly core tools that should be available in the more entry-level versions as well.

Dont assume you can fix any problems at the mastering stage its really for sweetening and boosting levels overall rather than trying to target specific issues in a mix.

When youre ready, open Wavelab and create a new empty project.

Then import your file by dragging from the desktop or using the File Import menu.

If there is a lot of space, select around 75 of it and then choose Edit Cut to remove it.

If there is less space, select the section just before the first transient and then choose Process Fade In.

Use your judgement here if a second or two of audio sounds right, leave that amount of space.

If you want the sound to kick in very quickly, you can leave less space.

Repeat this step at the end of the waveform using the Fade Out command, making sure you dont cut off any reverb or delay tails.

Although you may want to go with your own VST plug-ins for processing, WaveLab 9 has Master Rig, a dedicated all-in-one mastering effect thats specially designed for this task.

Go to the Master Section on the right of the main window and if Master Rig isnt alreadly loaded, call up an instance of it from the effects menu.

Add a module using the plus button, re-order modules by dragging them around, and mute or solo them using the respective buttons on each module.

This is a quick way to see what any given module is adding to or taking away from your overall signal.

Compressors, stereo processors and saturators for example can have up to 4 bands active at any time, each with a separate setting.

Some of these can be switched between stereo and mid side modes as well.

Multiband processing gives you a lot of scope to tweak specific frequency ranges within a master, but be careful not to go too far.

Its easy to quickly stray into making a mix sound weird if youre moving the compression of the lower mids one way, the stereo mix of the top end another way and so on.

If you do work in multiband mode, try to make changes subtly and only when necessary.

Far more advanced than simple level meters, these can be found at the top, with tabs allowing you to move between different meter types.
