The upgrade from WaveLab Elements 8 to WaveLab 8.5 is however much more expensive, so – should you feel the urge – be aware that the less expensive path is from WL6 to WL8.5 – plus, you get to continue using Elements 8 say, on the laptop (which is what I do, C8Pro/WL8.5 on the desktop and CE8/WLE8 on the laptop). ![]() The second thing to mention is that, as there’s no up- or cross-grade path from WaveLab 6 to WaveLab Elements 8, you will have effectively paid for a new license and you still own your WaveLab 6 license on the eLicenser that WL6 license can be upgraded to WaveLab 8.5 for (depending where you live) about $250, which is really excellent value if you can make use of the extra features (in your case that would almost certainly be the Watch Folders!). The update is available as a free download: WaveLab 8.0. The update also adds compatibilty to cocoa-based plug-ins and includes an updated version of Voxengo CurveEQ. Issues resolved The following table lists all issues that have been resolved in this version. An updated version of Voxengo Curve EQ is included. Thanks, guys! I just ordered WaveLab 8 EssentialsĪpart from the dithering issue, which is perhaps a little off-topic, there are a few things worth mentioning, firstly the GUI was completely changed from version 7 onwards, so don’t be too shocked – it can be frustrating at first, and the forum went into near-meltdown at times, but personally I can’t imagine ever wanting to go back to the pre-7 GUI, so just be prepared for a learning curve. The new update provides many improvements in areas such as loudness measurement, audio montage, plug-ins, user interface and key commands. Improvements This maintenance update introduces the following improvements: WaveLab now supports Cocoa-based VST 2 plug- ins with cockos extension. Seems like an oversight to me, not using dither in the Batch convert if the target file has a lower bitdepth, something that should possibly be corrected. (although someone could ask, if indeed that’s the problem).Īlso, MrSoundman may be right about the real audible impact of converting from 32 or 24 to 16 without dither, but I think it’s a little unusual, and generally thought to be technically unadvisable. ![]() But I doubt the current version of LCC is going to be changed just to accommodate an old version of Wavelab like version 6. The upgrade from WaveLab Elements 8 to WaveLab 8.5 is however much more expensive, so should you feel the urge be aware that the less expensive path is from WL6 to WL8.5 plus, you get to continue using Elements 8 say, on the laptop (which is what I do, C8Pro/WL8.5 on the desktop and CE8/WLE8 on the laptop). Older LCC versions probably worked fine with this setup in the past. ![]() But because this apparently wasn’t experienced or reported years ago with Cubase 5 and Wavelab 6, my suspicion is that the current version of LCC is probably involved in the issue (especially since it’s an eLicensor error message). Fwiw, regarding the original eLicenser error message, I’m using Windows 7, and I’ve now gotten the error message using full versions of Cubase 5, 6, and 7, and then opening Wavelab 6.
