Wavelab Pro and Wavelab Go in ARA

[Jonas2021]

What are the differences (specific features) between Wavelab Pro and Wavelab Go in ARA mode in Cubase?

Compare the Versions of WaveLab | Steinberg

There is a comparison page of Wavelab.

For example WL Pro has

and Go has

You only get what is in the above picture in your DAW with Go.

how do i activate the pro license and not the go in ara-mode in cubase 15pro?
I own a license of wlpro 13

EDIT:
After reinstall:

Even the render tab is missing.

Standalone:

That is how it is

I do not use Cubase. From your picture it looks like you were able to get pro to be opened inside Cubase. There are videos on ARA you can search.

[Jonas2021]

Ah ok, there are differences in ARA and standalone in the functions … (Also in pro)
But it doesn’t show which version is active. So I can’t see which version in ARA-mode is running?

When I press the ? Help Sign next to the little WaveLab-icon it sends me to the pro helpsite …

I do not think I am the right person to answer this, but still I ran a quick test, in WL Go, in the insert tab I could see option to insert only Generic and Region Marker; while opening WL Pro inside Reaper, I could also see option to add loop markers. May be that could be an indicator or please wait for someone else to respond.

By clicking on the icon indicated below, I was able to find the WL version.

You can open a file, change pitch and render to new file from the DAW or Create another file within through Freeze.

[Jonas2021]

Ok, and are there any differences in ARA-Mode from GO to PRO? When Yes, which?

I can’t found anything where the differences are listed for the ARA-Mode.

[Jonas2021]

Before I forget, thanks to @Marker for your answers and your help.

Go is only a basic version of WL and your Cubase is using Pro for ARA.

If you see Melodyne Studio it has the menu below as Standalone

When it is used as ARA, it adapts to the DAW, reducing menus.

May be if you did not have the Standalone WL PRO, it would have switched to GO. As someone earlier posted, to open GO as standalone and explore, you can open WL GO by using Ctrl+Alt and WL Shortcut together.

[Jonas2021]

Yes i see:

Maybe I’m not explaining myself very clearly:
There are differences between Pro Standalone and Pro ARA.

My question above was actually:
What are the functional differences between ARA Pro and ARA Go?

I can’t found anything where the differences are listed for the ARA-Mode.

[Marker]

Ok, let me try to explain this way, since you own Melodyne Studio, WL Go is the equivalent of Melodyne Essentials.

Your DAW switched to studio because you had full standalone license, It would have opened Melodyne Essentials if you only had Essentials.

[Jonas2021]

Yes, I know that. But the functional differences are also quite clear in Melodyne. I was actually hoping to find a list from Steinberg somewhere that clearly outlines these differences.

As I said, thanks for your help; the tip about displaying the version in ARA mode has definitely been helpful so far.

[Marker]

There are many differences if you compare standalone Go and Pro.

@PG1 Can you enlighten us with more info on this?

[Jonas2021]

@Jonas2021

What are the functional differences between ARA Pro and ARA Go?

In Standalone it’s clear:
https://www.steinberg.net/de/wavelab/compare-editions/

But the differences Pro Standalone to ARA PRO and ARA PRO to ARA GO!
I hope I expressed myself clearly.

[Marker]

You are right, the differences are quite unclear to me as well.

@Marker

but still I ran a quick test, in WL Go, in the insert tab I could see option to insert only Generic and Region Marker; while opening WL Pro inside Reaper, I could also see option to add loop markers.

With a price difference of €400, that’s not a big difference.

ARA.pdf (1.4 MB)

Also attaching part of WL ARA Pro from user manual

But as you wrote, a comparison info is missing.

[Jonas2021]

Yes, unfortunately, I can’t see what advantages the PRO license offers me over the GO license in ARA mode.

The PDF is pretty general about the ARA mode.

Thanks again for your help.

[Jonas2021]

@Marker

in WL Go, in the insert tab I could see option to insert only Generic and Region Marker; while opening WL Pro inside Reaper, I could also see option to add loop markers.

According to the manual, the entire correction tab seems to be missing.
Unfortunately, I can’t verify this, I don’t have access to ARA Go on Cubase.

Can a Go user please confirm this?
