Allows you remove the vocals from most music! Uses the same algorithm that the hardware Karaoke machines use degree phase offset. DirectX Audio Plugin that allows you to manually or automatically correct DC offset errors in any audio stream! Chronotron is an audio tool that allows you to manipulate tempo and pitch separately; it can change the tempo of music The plug-in can also be hosted on any DirectX plug-in host Converting EXE files to Download Contenta Converter Windows Mac.
It may not look impressive, but the new Crystal sample-rate conversion plug-in offers significantly more transparent results than previous algorithms, and also shows the new interface sported by generic plug-ins. Another related function is the off-line Level Envelope processor that lets you apply a user-defined envelope to any or all of your file.
This is far more versatile than the previous Fade processes, especially with its 'smooth envelope' function that turns lines into curves. I also found this a very useful way to avoid clicks when you want to process only part of a file.
The previous Normalise process has become Level Normaliser, and is joined by Loudness Normaliser, which works with RMS levels to set a loudness and is thus far more appropriate than the conventional peak level adjustment when you're trying to make individual tracks sit in an album context.
There are also many smaller additions and improvements that prove really helpful. Here are some that particularly appealed to me:. Previous Wavelab versions offered the same sample-rate conversion algorithms as Cubase and Nuendo , but Wavelab 6 includes a new SRC Crystal Resampler that's gaining much praise for its conversion accuracy — it's significantly more transparent, and roughly on a par with Voxengo's highly acclaimed rBrain Pro.
Also, tucked away inside both the Time-stretch and Pitch Correction processing windows is an innocuous new tick box that should bring a big smile to all those who do a lot of work with loops.
There are six variations on the DIRAC algorithm for dealing with different kinds of source material such as instruments, voices, classical music, percussion and so on, and I found they imposed significantly fewer artifacts on long stretches than the previous algorithms. The newly refined Audio Input plug-in now lets you record incoming signals to up to eight audio channels simultaneously, for live surround recording and treatment.
Also new in the process menu is a Pitch Quantise option that works on monophonic lines to correct intonation problems; you can define the reference frequency, pitch tolerance and slur time. It's a sort of poor man's Auto-Tune , and can also be persuaded to perform subtle Cher-like robotic glitches at extreme settings.
Audio Input replaces the previous 'Live Input' function, letting you capture any incoming signal from your audio interface hardware with Master Section effects, but is far more versatile since the plug-in window lets you select any number of input channels from one to eight, and your choice of sample rate. It must always be loaded in the topmost effect slot.
The Master Section itself also benefits from a few new options. You can now store its current set of plug-ins with an audio file, its display now indicates both 'plug-ins active' green and 'global bypass' red states, and the plug-ins organiser now recognises folders. The stand-alone Harbal application does this as well, and it's an extremely useful tool when making mastering decisions.
I feel more comfortable working in the Wavelab environment than with any other audio application I've ever used, and rely on it a great deal for my day-to-day work. It has rarely let me down over the last nine years.
Wavelab 6 manages yet again to add a further comprehensive selection of must-have additions and improvements to an already world-class application used by lots of professionals on a daily basis.
Prices include VAT. Here are some that particularly appealed to me: Wavelab has always had a comprehensive Key Commands section allowing you to assign keyboard shortcuts to most operations, but this has now been extended to include MIDI command options, which makes it a lot easier to couple Wavelab up to MIDI controllers or sync it to other applications. The Rename File function can now automatically update any references to the file in all other open documents, and rename any associated peak and marker files.
This is particularly handy if you want to rename an individual track used in one or more Montages, since in the past the next time you opened them you'd get 'file not found' problems. There's also a Batch file-renaming tool with more comprehensive features.
