Buying Query

I also like WaveLab Elements 9, but I am still deciding whether to get this or another software for mastering? If I get Wave what benefits will it give me when using it with Cubase? Are they coordinated with each other

First, I would advise strongly against buying WaveLab Elements 9. I have, and it’s a useless disaster suffering from numerous serious issues:

[OSX] Catastrophic bugs in WLE 9 (Issues solved)

I’ve seen several postings on YouTube with people having the same issues.

That being said, none of these issues afflicts WaveLab Elements 8. That works perfectly.

With regards to the links between WLE and Cubase. Both work dependently (with the exception of WLE9, which doesn’t work at all). However, there is a new feature in WLP9, WLE9 and CBP8.5 where audio files can be transferred directly between WaveLab and Cubase, so that one can be used as an editor for the other (sort of).

EDIT:
I just noticed that Steinberg has finally released demo versions of WaveLab Pro 9 and WaveLab Elements 9. I strongly recommend everyone to try these out before wasting any money.
