Another great addition for stem mastering is that track lanes can now divide an audio track into eight sub lanes for working with mix stems inside an audio montage and assembling, editing and processing sound effects from layered clips. Newly available in the Pro edition, WaveLab now includes track groups for multitrack/stems workflows, allowing for audio tracks to be routed to a group bus with effects plug-ins, gain and pan controls, before the montage output and master sections. In turn, WaveLab Pro now offers extended support for multichannel interleaved audio files for opening, editing and saving up to 22.2 and Ambisonics surround sound formats, with easier editing and detailed selection options.

And with its 11th version, WaveLab Elements has received a further boost with its feature set, inheriting advanced plug-ins from the Pro edition, such as the DeEsser, Expander and PingPong Delay, and the extra metering modules as well as including the complete set of functions from WaveLab Cast to create podcasts and audio for vlogs. The smaller edition, WaveLab Elements, is used by many musicians, radio journalists and podcasters.
