Audio Mastering Software
Available for download, Steinberg WaveLab Elements 11 is the all-in-one solution for podcasters, vloggers, and musicians who need audio editing and mastering functionality from after the mix through distribution to the world. New additions to version 11 include multichannel interleaved file support up to 5.1 surround, informative metering displays adapted from WaveLab Pro, fast and effective one-knob functions for cleaning and enhancing audio, fresh plug-ins, and bountiful podcast features from WaveLab Cast.
With extensive video file support, over 25 mastering-grade effects, and a built-in audio restoration suite, WaveLab Elements 11 is equally effective for music producers and content creators. Its simple and precise editing, easy-to-use modules, and novice-friendly workflow make WaveLab Elements 11 the perfect final step for polishing audio before its release. It is compatible with macOS and Windows systems, and it provides improved utilization of multicore CPUs for more efficient processing of audio montages.
Multichannel Interleaved Support
WaveLab Elements 11 introduces extended support for multichannel interleaved files and for the first time, multichannel interleaved editing in the Audio Editor. Supporting up to 5.1 surround layouts of WAV files, you can open, edit, and save multichannel files like any other set of mono/stereo files. With comprehensive controls to make precise editing easier, you can work on selected channels with external editors. In the Audio Montage, you can automatically split multichannel audio files into mono or stereo clusters for faster file import, allowing you to use plug-ins to process channel clusters independently of one another.
Keep Track of Your Audio
WaveLab Elements 11 features a complete range of new metering displays derived from the professional WaveLab Pro application to keep track of the level, spectrum, and phase of your audio at any time.
Clean and Enhance
WaveLab Elements features a new easy-to-use collection of real-time audio processes, radically simplifying the enhancement of audio tracks with straightforward one-knob controls. The new Clean and Enhance sections provide quick and easy ways of cleaning up and improving the quality of audio recordings. You can EQ your audio, enhance the presence of speech using the Voice Exciter, or give it more punch using the Maximizer. The Clean section helps you remove background noise or hum, all without needing deep technical knowledge.
Advanced Sound Manipulation
A comprehensive array of seven new VST3 plug-ins have been added to WaveLab Elements 11, delivering even greater possibilities for the most surgically precise sound shaping. The tools include a professional DeEsser, Expander, Mix6to2, MonotoStereo, and a pleasing PingPong delay.
For Podcasters and Vloggers
If you create podcasts or content for social media, WaveLab Elements is an ideal solution to ensure your video has the best sound. Uncompromising quality, intelligibility, clarity, and great content are mandatory to win over new subscribers. Derived from WaveLab Cast, the new tools in WaveLab Elements help you to create podcasts and interviews of highest quality and allow for straightforward recording, editing, refinement, and publishing.
Create Quality Podcasts
WaveLab 11 comes with the same podcast features as the dedicated WaveLab Cast. Capture audio directly in WaveLab Elements 11 in up to 32-bit / 96 kHz quality, or import audio recordings from a mobile phone or handheld recorder—ready to be enhanced and refined using the collection of one-knob tools or included VST3 plug-ins. After polishing the sound, you might want to add further background effects, jingles, intro scenes, or music. The new ducking system lowers music or other audio elements when speech is detected on the voice track, making sure the voice can be heard clearly at any time. Finally, you can directly upload your podcasts from within WaveLab to multiple popular podcast hosts like Buzzsprout, PodBean, SoundCloud, and Spreaker. In addition, you can create and publish RSS feeds using your own choice of FTP server or other online storage.
Seamless Video Support for Vlogging
A must-have feature for vloggers, WaveLab Elements 11 comes with comprehensive video file support. Part or all of a video file's audio can be replaced with sound that's newly recorded from a content library or any other source. The original audio can also be refined and replaced with an edited version without changing the video quality. Importing, editing, and rendering are straightforward. This way you guarantee best audio quality for your best video.
New Dithering
With new LIN One dithering, WaveLab Elements 11 replaces outdated dithering plug-ins. Developed by the plug-in specialists at MAAT Incorporated, the new dithering plug-in delivers top-notch results.
Further Improvements

Fast Fades and Tone Tweaking
WaveLab Elements automatically creates crossfades, letting you arrange, cut, fade, and blend music and voices exactly to your taste. It comes with a range of easy-to-use modules, combined in a handy channel strip, which help you to improve the sound of your master. The single-knob concept means that you hear the results of your sound manipulation immediately, in real time.
Simple, Accurate Editing
WaveLab Elements is ready when audio needs to be edited quickly and precisely. A dedicated Audio Editor workspace provides a wide choice of processing tools, which are valued by everyone who needs to be certain their audio is just right. High-quality zoom functions provide views down to individual sample level (microseconds); tools for time stretching, pitch shifting, and phase invert are there to manipulate your favorite sounds. The magnet snap functions make it easy to combine several audio files with no overlaps.
Mastering-Grade Effects
