Essential Information About WaveLab Elements 13 Software

  • MasterRig 2 Included: a next-generation mastering plug-in suite integrated for the first time in WaveLab Elements, ideal for quickly structuring a processing chain.
  • Faster Editing: the Dynamic Clip Toolbar and instant clip gain adjustment before or after effects speed up corrections and audio assembly.

  • Improved Visual Organization: color management with random assignment across all tracks to better identify versions, sections, and elements.

What WaveLab Elements 13 Is For

WaveLab Elements 13 is an audio editing and mastering software designed for the finalization of your projects, when the goal is to achieve a coherent, controlled, and broadcast-ready sound. It is aimed both at home studios and audio content creators who want a dedicated environment for editing, cleaning, assembling, and optimizing the perceived level on a stereo master.

Whether you are preparing masters for streaming, "radio edit" versions, exports for video, or spoken content, WaveLab Elements 13 focuses on concrete post-production tasks: clip gain adjustments, applying processing, A/B comparison, and clear session organization to save time without sacrificing precision.

Main Features

MasterRig 2: A Logical and Fast Mastering Chain

With MasterRig 2, WaveLab Elements 13 brings a modern approach to mastering by grouping essential processing in a workspace designed to get straight to the point. The idea is to allow you to build a clear effects chain, control the overall balance and dynamics, then secure the final level, all while keeping an immediate view of what is affecting your signal.

Clip-Oriented Editing: Immediate Adjustments Where You Need Them

Corrections in the right place often make the difference between a clean master and an "over-processed" master. The Dynamic Clip Toolbar offers contextual access to clip-related actions, reducing clicks during repetitive operations. The Quick Clip Gain Adjustment adds dedicated sliders to adjust clip gain before or after effects, a decisive advantage to avoid input chain saturation, homogenize sound layers, or balance an edit without altering the mix.

Plug-in Management and Session Readability

The production flow remains smooth thanks to a more natural handling of effects: a plug-in can be removed by drag-and-drop outside its slot, convenient for quickly sorting and testing variants. For organization, Color Management allows assigning colors, including randomly across all tracks, to instantly identify different sections, versions, or elements of a project.
