That’s why something as seemingly simple as metadata is a big deal for our studio. What are the benefits of following through with the plan to upgrade to Pro?Įxactly. We’ll update to Windows 11 after all of the hardware and software companies catch up. The ADC/DAC we use are Lynx AES16e w/ Lynx Aurora16 or our Dante network of: Focusrite RedNet PCIe w/ Lynx Aurora16 LT-Dante + Focusrite RedNet A16R + Neve 1073 OPX w/ Dante card. While mastering, my main concerns are to be able to easily go back into Nuendo to fix issues in the mix if any arise then jump back to WaveLab to continue mastering, use the DAW controls of the console, run through tape during mastering, use analog hardware, and encode cover-art & metadata during mastering. We use a hybrid mixer/control surface, a lot of analog processing, externally processed plugins (UAD2, WSG, AG, etc), and we’re looking to add either an Otari or Studer reel to reel this year (just haven’t decided how many tracks to go with yet). This is a professional recording studio offering both in-studio and remote mixing, mastering, and tracking.

To help you help me, let me describe the environment we’ll be using it in and what for. What little I’ve gotten to test out so far has already made me fall in love. After installing the Nuendo 11.0.4 update, I can now easily move back and forth between Nuendo 11, Spectralayers Pro 8, and WaveLab Elements 11. to make me uninstall StudioOne and switch back to WL for mastering permanently. I only had time to test WaveLab Elements out for a moment but it appears to have everything I need. Sweetwater and Vintage King Audio both ran a sale on WaveLab Elements for Black Friday that made it about $50 cheaper to buy Elements and upgrade than to just buy WaveLab Pro, so I did it.
