Wavelab vs RX SRC

[AKR1]

Does anyone have an opinion on which SRC they prefer–RX or what is built into wavelab (SOX?)? Does one or the other do a better job?

I was watching some of the wavelab workflow videos and Justin was using RX instead of the wavelab batch processor which got me wondering…

I had checked that but didn’t find anything from rx 10 or wavelab 11 or 12… and rx has a ton of settings too…

Thanks Justin! I’d also like to say that all your videos on wavelab are awesome, I really appreciate you taking the time to do them and putting them out there for free, thanks for that!

@Justin_Perkins

I also like to point out that using something like Saracon or RX for SRC is easily possible in WaveLab because some people are still partial to those SRC algorithms

How exactly would you go about using the RX SRC in wavelab?

@Justin_Perkins

I don’t care for using the WaveLab Master Section with the Resampler running live while rendering things.

Also, is there any difference doing this vs using the wavelabs batch processor to resample?

@Justin_Perkins

Plus, I haven’t tested this in WaveLab 12 but at one point in the recent past, it was discovered that the Resampler in the Master Section can struggle with sample accurate renders for songs that crossfade/overlap if you render track by track from the montage though the Master Section Resampler so for a few reasons, I lock it all in first with one long render, and use an SRC that isn’t in the Master Section for SRC. It could be RX, it could be the WaveLab Batch Processor, Saracon, etc.

Ah, I see, so just a little safer to render with the wavelab batch processor then using the render ribbon with the SRC on in the master section. Thanks again!

I did some a/b between Wavelab and RX9 the other night and still prefer RX, fwiw, on all the material I tried it with.

While this is always going to be a subjective observation, I agree with @markfullermastering

RX edges out WL and also I think Weiss SaraCon these days.

That said, if I didn’t have these options available, I am sure I could get excellent results from the WL SRC.

[markfullermastering]

agree also about Saracon. I did a new computer build recently and didn’t bother to install Saracon having done lots of comparisons in my previous system.
