We have just released the first maintenance update for WaveLab Pro and Elements 11, version 11.0.10
This update resolves many critical issues across different areas of the applications. We strongly recommend installing this update to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Using macOS 11.6 (Big Sur).
Download Assistant returns an error message when being started pointing me to contact support. When clicking away this message opens the window where I can see the update but, again, canât download it. Reinstalled Download Assistant from the webpage - same result.
Installed update from the webpage.
Wavelab 11 still not being listed in the âMy productsâ drop down menu, only 10 from which I upgraded. sigh
Update:
even after explicitely allowing Download Manager in LittleSnitch outgoing connections (which wasnât required before) it canât connect to the Download Manager.
Is the Download Manager website down?
2nd Update: Suddenly Download Assistant worked again.
Updated from within Wavelab 11. All showed successful and restarted pc. Wavelab 11 program start not now on screen and canât find it. This PC>OS(C:)>Users>name>Steinberg>WIN64>WaveLab Elements 11 folder exists from previously downloaded version with installer program.
Wavelab Elements 11.0 was buggy. Couldnât save a wave file as an mp3 because the program mistakenly thought that file already existed. Something I always have done in every version of Wavelab. Updated to 11.0.10 and more bugs, but that bug seems to have been addressed. Now Wavelab freezes, doesnât start, etc. It took me four times to get it to open. Not happy with this version so far. Maybe the Pro version works better?
Wavelab was not listed at all:(
In the end I loaded up the Steinberg Download App, downloaded Wavelab V11.0.20 and re-installed it. Seems Ok nowâŚ
There is no WaveLab Elements Pro as far as I am aware.
Thanks everyone.
At least on Windows, in case of problem, I always just re-install. For example, I have WL11 already installed alongside WL10 but Iâm ready to uninstall WL10, so after that, Iâll just run the WL11 installer again â seems to solve a lot of problems.
Just a quick note that I managed to get this working eventually. It turned out to be a problem with Windows (that I never encountered before). I couldnât repair or uninstall or anything, so I was really stuck. But after some fiddling I got it working.
WaveLab Elements 11.0.10 is the worst, absolute worst, release Steinberg has put out since Cubase 10.5. That was really bad, but this is worse. At least Cubase 10.5 would open. Since the 11.0.10 update I cannot use this program successfully. It had a few bugs in 11.0 but now it doesnât open. After three attempts it opens, but then trying to âsave asâ crashes it. Matter of fact, doing most anything crashes it. Ugh, this is really not ready. Perhaps the Pro version is better, but this one? Nope, nada. no way, uh uh.
It is not successful for me. 11.0.0 âsort of workedâ, but once I updated nothing worked. I can use Wavelab Pro 9.5 successfully. I was using Wavelab Elements 10 successfully. But 11? Nope. I do not believe itâs my preferences, I believe itâs the program. Trashing my preferences never made Cubase 10.5 work successfully. Moving to Cubase 11 solved that. With no âpreferences trashingâ required.
WaveLab is a totally different application. If you trash all the WaveLab preferences, you will start on a clean context and should enjoy a positive experience as all others do.
Nope. Wrong. I actually do know what Iâm talking about.
I did trash my preferences. And Wavelab 11.0.10 Elements worked a âlittleâ bit better. But it still freezes up when Iâm trying to save a file. And it doesnât always open successfully. Same as always since the 11.0.10 upgrade. At least the 11.0.0 version didnât freeze when exporting wav files. It had the mp3 export bug.
Like I mentioned, I have used various versions of Wavelab successfully. 8, 9 and 10. I can recognize bugs in the program. Regardless of your condescending comment ââŚyou should enjoy a positive experience as all others doâ. I have worked at this for a loooong time, and am used to people telling me that the bug I found is something nobody else has found. Going back to 2005 using Logic when it kept freezing during. Burt Bacharach session when trying to record audio and midi. I got yelled at by multiple users on the beta site until Emagic said âyes, Ted is rightâ and fixed it. When Cubase 10.5 came out I was among the first to point out it wasnât stable or reliable. CPU usage would jump. Nobody believed me until Steinberg admitted there was a huge memory leak in the program. And so on and so on.
So please stop telling me Wavelab Elements 11.0.10 is okay. It is not. Not by a long shot.
