WaveLab Pro

WaveLab Pro is one of the most powerful and versatile audio editing, mastering, and audio processing applications on the market today and combines the facilities of many other products within one, intuitive, flexible application.

WaveLab Pro features sample-accurate audio editing combined with an impressive set of tools to speed up editing operations. Depending on the editing task, you may choose between a destructive Audio Editor and a non-destructive Audio Montage.



An increasing number of broadcast companies rely on the tool in their daily work because of its outstanding stability and comprehensive feature set.

From editing and processing operations for preparing broadcast-ready content, over the batch conversion of large amounts of audio files through to individual system integration via scripting technologies —  the app is the premier choice for any kind of professional audio work.

WaveLab Pro introduces many improvements for mastering and editing workflows as well as carefully selected features for audio refinement and polishing.

Ranging from a top-notch Spectrum Editor to the new restoration plug-in suite to the unique Audio Inpainting technology alongside a redesigned and enhanced plug-in set —Wave Lab is a quantum leap in audio quality.
