Hi, First let me start by saying, I love WL again! I started using WL 3 -6.5 and it really broke my heart when the editor features went away BUT, I understood. kinda.
With the release of WL 12, the engine is better, the crashes are few and some key editing features are back!!! AWESOME!
Almost all Plug-in companies offer a mastering suite of plugs (Wavelab is still the king of mastering) however, a lot of people are now capable of mixing and mastering in their favorite DAW.
So, why not offer Wavelab with a more than capable editor? just a thought.
It’s great now but, can use a few tweeks… here are my ideas, that would really help with my workflow
1) Smaller tracks. I’d love to be able to have more than six tracks on my screen at one time. (Maybe an option to go smallest, small, regular, large)
2) Duplicate clip. (With key command option) Speed is king in my business.
This used to be available in WL 5… Duplicates clip and places it directly behind the original clip. If I remember correctly there used to be an option 1-10, that was cool!!
3) Key command for Clip Pan and Volume Pan. I thank you for adding the clip pan option in the clip pane!! Again, speed is king.
4) Zoom at curser option. Zooming at the pointer is good for some but, I find myself getting lost in zoom-land sometimes.
5) Turn clip names on/off option. Or, remove the “box” the clip names are in and allow the name to sit on the waveform. The box is in the way, in my opinion.
6) MP3 encoding pop up “favorite” button or, “last used” button. I save all my MP3’s Lame 320 highest quality. changing it every time is a waste of time.
7) File browser clip select. They now offer this in Nuendo. I have LARGE files with multiple audio clips within each file, I’d love to be able to skim through and pull out the pieces i need without having to drop the whole file into the montage and pick from there.
8) Return to last curser position on stop option. Options are nice.
9) Effects “Always on top” option. Sometimes I open an effect then return to montage to highlight and loop and the effect disappears? Once an effect is open, I’d like to keep it open until I close it.
10) “Delete, are you sure” option. When I highlight more than one clip to delete it’ll say (Delete 5 clips are you sure?) well…Yeah, I’m sure! and if I screw up I can undo. An option to turn that off would be nice or, have it pop-up right under the pointer. Chasing that box is a pain in the tuchus!!
These are just ideas, I, in no way think I’m special… that’s a lie… I am special. do with these what you will and thank you for an amazing DAW!
