(and then $200 to upgrade - getting almost to the level of WaveLab Pro on sale at that point!) Pro 11 can be had cheap secondhand, but 32-bit only. I'd been considering Sound Forge also, but I hate Magix's constant 'updates' every year with upgrades costing the same as new purchases for the most part. Thank you very much for the valuable feedback and saving me some frustration! Just could not find any good real user comparisons of Elements vs Pro (probably because most just get Pro if they can afford it, I imagine), even after 3 or 4 concentrated searches over the past few months.

And I'll probably just demo Pro at this point. Now I will still demo probably, but I think you see my point - even if I took a week to demo both, I don't know I would pick up on those differences when it's all new to me. so if only Pro can virtually guarantee me that peace of mind/workflow, then Pro it is! like, if I have a master saved, I just want to know any time I might go back in and tweak, or re-export a different format of a lower bitrate MP3, all the meta data is going to be there and correct without me even thinking about it.

while I don't need DDP or could use Hofa or Studio One Project for that if I did, I do want full metadata management.

Enter the data once, and it's present on any and all master formats.I feel the same way usually, people should just demo - but I am sure you can see the other point of view, like when comparing DAWs or anything more than a simpler plugin - it's kind of mind-boggling to compare and contrast two pieces of software one has had no experience in! And I think your own, very informative response shows that to be true - I don't think I would have realized those few salient points you mentioned, which is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Among many things, it's a metadata machine. WaveLab Pro on the other uldn't work without it anymore. I would rather use HOFA (or the coming HOFA Pro) than WaveLab Elements. It's OK for light duty work but I wouldn't consider it for mastering daily, or even weekly. You can't add track IDs, each track is whatever the audio clip is, and the metadata support is very limited. Why not demo it and find out? How could you not want to demo such a workflow changing piece of software vs. If anyone can comfort me that Elements is enough, or on the other hand, show anything I am missing on why obviously we all need Pro, I appreciate it! But it's been a while since I've used either! (haven't done any mastering in months) They let you add metadata when you export, but then it has to be set again, leading to mistakes. I don't think either Ozone 8 or Studio One Project view do this. And I would like a 'home' as it were for doing mastering, so I can save one project and know the metadata will always flow through every time I output something in whatever format. I know I could just buy Elements and upgrade later, and probably that is what I should do.īasically, I would like a wave editor (and Elements integrates with Cubase also) again. So do I really just need Elements? Or obviously I need Pro? I hate demoing plugins let alone whole software suites, and I don't want to demo both versions. Like AudioMontage - it has it, but it's limited? The problem is, the chart says 'limited' for a lot of things on Elements. I read the comparison chart, and I don't need more than 96 Khz, or three tracks, etc. Spectral editing, I got iZotope RX7 Standard for that. Mid/Side sounds nice, but Brainworx plugins almost always have mid/side built in. The thing is, I don't think I need all the extra plugins that Pro has. Studio One's Project view is good, but still seems limited. I like that WaveLab can be your mastering hub. I would just like a dedicated wave editor. I am not sure about it though, maybe version 10 will come out soon? And I know sometimes they do 40% off, maybe for end of year? There is the 30% sale right now on WaveLab.
