WaveLab Cast makes your production sound spectacularly clear and intelligible. Cut out unwanted noise with ease. Blend different parts of an interview by simply moving audio events, and WaveLab Cast will create crossfades automatically.

Add another audio track to split your recordings across more than one track. Use the track handles to create fades and manipulate the volume. After polishing your recorded sound, you can add background music and other effects to a new music track to make your podcasts stand out from the masses. To make it sound really professional, the new ducking feature lowers the background music when speech is detected on the voice track.

Wavelab Cast supports audio up to 96 kHz / 16-bit. 

The Channel Strip comes with fantastic tools to manipulate vocals and music the easy way. Thanks to the one knob approach, all functions can be managed just by turning a few virtual knobs.

The Clean section comprises refinement tools such as DeEsser. DeNoiser and lets you remove unwanted noise instantaneously. The Enhance area allows you to EQ your audio, add Reverb, apply the Voice Exciter, and give vocals more punch using the maximizer.

WaveLab Cast also features a selection of high-end plug-ins derived from WaveLab Pro, a leading mastering platform. Professional tools like the Studio EQ, Compressor, and Brickwall Limiter allow you to improve your sound dramatically. WaveLab Cast also comes with a range of metering options, perfect for keeping track on the frequency spectrum of your audio material.

After importing a video file, it will show up in WaveLab Cast's video player and also via Thumbnails on the video track. The audio is extracted and appears on automatically created audio tracks.

Use the easy yet powerful WaveLab Cast inspector to improve the sound using the EQ, compressor, or voice exciter. Lower unwanted wind noise, remove loud sibilants with the DeEsser, and change the dynamics of the sound.

Everything is done in real time and in sync to the video. WaveLab Cast also comes with powerful editing tools, including automated crossfade creation, snap functions and lip-sync accuracy. Once finished, reintegrate the new audio with the video and you're done.
