I have just purchased Wavelab Elements 11. The WL Elements 11 Operation Manual (in the PDF version, on page 286) says:
The Loudness Meter is an audio meter for monitoring loudness, according to the EBU R-128 standard.
To open the Loudness Meter, select Meters > Loudness Meter.
However, in the menu Meters there are eight options to choose from, but there is no Loudness Meter (please see the attached picture). There is, it seems, a mismatch between the software and the manual. Am I missing something? Would someone clarify this situation? Thank you.
Does anybody else find it a bit odd that WL Elements still hasn’t got a proper loudness metering? Or even an offline analyzer. I mean today loudness analysis is pretty basic. There are no special algorithms necessary and you have to measure it a LOT of times these days. For example most Podcast platforms require loudness normalized mixes. I think even (or especially) the cheaper Wavelab Cast should have loudness metering/normalization built in. Instead we get multi-channel support. Which is very very nice - don’t get me wrong. Other maufacturers implement multi-channel support in their pro-versions (e.g. RX, Altiverb …). But I have the impression of a strange prioritization here.
Is there a way to insert a metering plug-in like Youlean and I hit render and the plug-in displays the results? Only a lot faster than real time? At the moment the display does nothing when rendering.
I purchased Wavelab Elements a few days ago and immediately noticed it. Loudness analysis is a very fondamental need in every mastering session.
The more strange thing is that I cannot load the Supervision Analyzer in Cubase 12 Pro inside Wavelab Elements 11.2
How is it possible? It seems an unpleasent marketing choice from Steinberg…
Instead of the Supervision Analyzer I can load Youlean Loudness Meter or other third part plugins to analyze the LUFS…
Why? Why Steinberg? Why I cannot use the Supervision Analizer from Cubase Pro 12 inside Wavelab Elements?
