Awesome update!

Any “gotcha’s” or things we need to know to make an existing 32bit install into a shiny new 64 bit one?

VP

3

The only things to be aware of, is that with 64 bit version, your 32 bit plugins won’t be available.

4

I guess I was meaning - does WL Setup gentle guide me thru it or does it install both, remove the old one or what?

VP

5

Just install. Nothing to remove before.

6

So I will have both a 32bit and 64bit version installed - side by side?

What I if I want to ditch the 32bit completely and just move forward with 64bit?

VP

You can simply delete the WaveLab folder that contains the 32 bit version (simple and safe).
Or use the uninstaller (but in this case, better do this before installing the 64 bit version).

8

What happens if I try to install with Snow Leopard and not with Lion?
Will 32bit still work?
Will 64bit work?

9

@Donx
You can use Snow Leopard without problem.
32 bit or 64 bit both work.

super sweet!

11

Any info on how to use the CMC controllers? Other than volume from the CH, nothing is responding and I don’t see where to configure operations.

12

To know the mapping of a Device like CMC, go to menu Options > Remote Control Device
Then you can visualize all settings. You can even filter them with the option “Only display assignements”.

13

is there a proper “version history” pdf - the one on the SB website just seems to have a few random fixes ?

is the “error creating peak files when opening” - repeatable crash with 7.1 - WaveLab - Steinberg Forums - fixed ?

14

The history lists most of the fixes concerning bugs that were publicly reported. In practise, more bugs were fixed.
For new features, you get a good overview there:
http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/wavelab/whats_new.html
Some other features, like new menus on the Mac (icons) are obvious when trying the version. Also, I think you will find the UI more reactive, espescially on the Mac.

Concerning the issue “error creating peak files when opening”, this issue could never be reproduced. But the code was modified slightly. So please try again, if you are affected.
