I really missed Wavelab when I came over to Mac. That said you could probably run it fine in Paralells or VM Fusion now they have matured...

Nice move from Yamaha/Steinberg !
There is no doubt that they are making Mac support a priority, they are heading in the right direction. | |

Well now. I'll be MORE than willing to drop Waveburner and give this a shot when it's ready.
I find WB to be frustrating at times. I'm not holding much hope for Apple to improve things.

Parallels lets you already use wavelab on a mac. Works pretty well too! But of course having it totally native will give a performance boost.

Yeah!
OS X never really had a good wave editor until now! 
This is excellent news!

Oz | Misinformed seller I'd say. Wavelab isn't out for mac yet. What you could do is run it on mac with pc emulator I guess - maybe this is what they mean. Not sure how well that would work.

Never figured out how to get the Reg process to work but its super solid for Wavelab, and native 
I'm also very suprised there are litteraly no decient options for FLAC or Mp3 encoding on the Mac side. Actually quite astounded, so i use LAME and Flac encoders from the windows side again in Crossover at FULL speed. Yea its like encoding in bootcamp, super slick

Nope have not seen Peak 6, but LAME and Flac encoders on Windows are free of a high caliber. Besides I don't want to have to open the wave, generate the peak info, ect. Used Peak 5 years ago in school and really liked it, prefer WL.
Can not justify peak 6 for Flac & mp3 encoding only.
I hope WL for Mac will have a decient crossgrade discount.  | |

Ive seen people talking about using a pc emulators, crossover etc. Not sure how complicated a process it is to instal setup etc, and if it has any side effects to the day to day stability of the machine.
Im off for some googling!

Crossover seems very rock solid, I actually prefer it to Parallels. I guess you could call it an emulator, but it doesn't loose the performance hit like VM ware or Parallels. Worth the purchase for sure, keeps me going in WL and my smaller windows apps. FL studio demo works pretty cool too

Could anyone of the experienced Wavelab users name a few advantages of Wavelab ?
I never used it, but heard lots of raves about it, so it'd be nice, to know a bit more about it
thanks in advance

thanks in advance | I didnt sink into the advanced features when I used it on PC - but its just a nice program to use. The Mac alternatives just seem to be lacking compared to its pleasant workflow.

Install windows via bootcamp and you have access to wavelab. i set this up and love it. I also can get access to all my mac harddrives via a pay utility called macdrive.
I love this set up.

thanks in advance | I wouldnt say I was an "experienced user", and I too dont use the feature set that indepth as i mainly use it for building up a finished redbook master. The things I use and I like are the CD authoring, creating PQ encoding, ISRC codes, track names, and the CD and DVD burning.
Also, the metering is excellent as are the dithering options.
I doesnt feel like other Steiny platforms in as much as most of the keyboard shortcuts are different/non existant, but it is a really streamlined way of working, once you get your head around the architecture and GUI.

I find that Wavelab`s interface has some disadvantages: One wrong click and you have to find the position where you wanted to edit again.
DSP Quattro to me seems like the best alternative in terms of features & workflow compared to the price.
It took the programmers some time to finish the current Universal Binary version but now I don`t see a reason not to choose this.
I suppose Wavelab will also require a Syncrosoft dongle and I try to avoid dongles. You can often get problems if you have more than 1 software using dongles, your sessions can crash until there is a software update... no need for that.
