Wave Editor 1.4 is out!

[Whitecat]

All kinds of DDP improvements, VST support, much more! Very comprehensive update, almost not worthy of only a "dot" release...

I check the "updated versions" page and the message was "you are up to date".

My current WE software is 1.3.3/v1221.

What's up with that?

[Whitecat]

Really? When I loaded WE today it told me 1.4 was available for download... just clicked on 'update' and it downloaded and installed it.

Maybe drop them an email..?

[MASSIVE Master]

I can't get it to stop crashing on DDP export...

Still unpacked as version 1.3.3

Hey all. We pulled 1.4.0 for a bit after we posted it on 2008-10-02. We wanted to post the beta for 1.4.1 simultaneously and needed a bit more time to finish that up. If you have a lot of (legacy) VST plug-ins, I highly recommend using 1.4.1b1 which is available via the Beta Releases tab on the Wave Editor support page.

Otherwise, you can download 1.4.0 as it has now been posted again.

Also, our entire site, store included, is now fully compatible with IE 6 and IE 7 for Windows users who may wish to check it out.

Contact me via support@audiofile-engineering.com and we'll take a look. We have 9 months of QC on 1.4, so that certainly shouldn't be happening (and we've not received similar reports). If possible, I'd like to have you upload your file as well.

FWIW 1.4.1 appears to be officially available now, hopefully that will solve some of your issues...

[miguelmrq]

Really nice new features! Thanks

I'm going to test this in a couple of days. Looking forward to it.

it'll export nearly any format you want, including DDP.

[kri]

I figure it will I just cant find that feature in the export (trial version) nor on their website.

It only says

• MP3 (requires LAME Framework)
• AAC
• Ogg Vorbis new!
• FLAC new!
• Apple Lossless new!
• Document Properties new!
• Labels (Slices, Loops, etc.) new!
• DDP 2.0 new!
• Add to iTunes Library new!
• SDS (Sample Dump Standard) new!

Or am I just stupid

Try 'Save To'

Best,

[thermos]

Any kind of tutorial for this new version?

[kri]

Thanks save to works
on my way to purchase !
great program.

Hey fellas!

Was wondering if there is any equivalent of this soft for PC based system? Thanx

[MASSIVE Master]

Take your pick. This is more of "does anybody make a Mac version of (WaveLab, CD Architect, Samplitude Master, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc...)"

There are few programs that do it "all" (none of the above PC progs write DDP for instance, but Gear does - but it doesn't do straight editing) but if you're looking for a basic editor with compliant authoring, there are plenty.

[finetuner]

The layer structure is pretty unique afaik.
As is the DDP loadback (in the latest version), especially for the price.

[Thor]

Apropos doing it all,

I (still) use SoundHack for certain things that seem impossible to do with other programs, either on Mac or PC. F.x. changing the SR of a header or other stuff you normally don't want to touch.

Is there an equivalent PC program that will do the same? I have a client that would like something like that for the PC.

Cheers,
Thor

We use the term "Export" for non-native file formats (this is correct per Apple's UI guidelines). Native formats are:

Wave Editor (.wedt)
AIFF
Sound Designer I
Interleaved & Split Sound Designer II
WAV & Broadcast WAV
CAF
µlaw
Apple Loops
ACID

FYI, 1.4.2 should be posted in the next couple of days. For sure, a beta will be up tonight. I think people will be intrigued by the Audio File First Aid feature.

+ added Audio File First Aid
* added Magnitude and Min/Max to the Waveform menu
* settings in Export... panels are remembered
* cmd-[ and cmd-] navigate in the Manual
* added compound edit actions to waveform contextual menu
* Improved the Manual toolbar
- improved speed of zoom in using the scroll wheel
- fixed a potential application error in the Open panel
- fixed errors loading some Cue sheets
- "Format" tab is first in the Save panel
- fixed an error dragging an unselected SmartEdit to a separate empty document with the SmartEdit List open
- fixed a bug sending a HelpDesk request with no phone number
- addressed some random application errors

You can add it via the Processor, Save To, then Undo.

We're looking at elegant ways to implement an all-in-one method of saving out a file with dither + bit rate conversion that doesn't lead people to believe that they are the same thing.

Thanks thumbsup great program !

Hi all,

Would it be useful to have the 'CD time' display also the track number?

for example when reaching track 2 the counter resets as would a normal cd player, rather than displaying total length of the CD..

am i alone on this one?

best

I'd be happy if it would jump from start marker to start marker during playback...

Maybe it does and I didn't find the shortcut.

You mean from track start marker to track start marker? CTRL+up arrow I believe.
