WaveLab Elements features a new easy-to-use collection of real-time audio processes, radically simplifying the enhancement of audio tracks with straightforward one-knob controls. The new Clean and Enhance sections provide quick and easy ways of cleaning up and improving the quality of audio recordings. You can EQ your audio, enhance the presence of speech using the Voice Exciter, or give it more punch using the Maximizer. The Clean section helps you remove background noise or hum, all without needing deep technical knowledge.

If you create podcasts or content for social media, WaveLab Elements is an ideal solution to ensure your video has the best sound. Uncompromising quality, intelligibility, clarity, and great content are mandatory to win over new subscribers. Derived from WaveLab Cast, the new tools in WaveLab Elements help you to create podcasts and interviews of highest quality and allow for straightforward recording, editing, refinement, and publishing.

WaveLab 11 comes with the same podcast features as the dedicated WaveLab Cast. Capture audio directly in WaveLab Elements 11 in up to 32-bit / 96 kHz quality, or import audio recordings from a mobile phone or handheld recorder—ready to be enhanced and refined using the collection of one-knob tools or included VST3 plug-ins.

After polishing the sound, you might want to add further background effects, jingles, intro scenes, or music. The new ducking system lowers music or other audio elements when speech is detected on the voice track, making sure the voice can be heard clearly at any time. Finally, you can directly upload your podcasts from within WaveLab to multiple popular podcast hosts like Buzzsprout, PodBean, SoundCloud, and Spreaker. In addition, you can create and publish RSS feeds using your own choice of FTP server or other online storage.

A must-have feature for vloggers, WaveLab Elements 11 comes with comprehensive video file support. Part or all of a video file's audio can be replaced with sound that's newly recorded from a content library or any other source. The original audio can also be refined and replaced with an edited version without changing the video quality. Importing, editing, and rendering are straightforward. This way you guarantee best audio quality for your best video.

With new LIN One dithering, WaveLab Elements 11 replaces outdated dithering plug-ins. Developed by the plug-in specialists at MAAT Incorporated, the new dithering plug-in delivers top-notch results.
