Advanced Options for iZotope 64-bit SRC

Utilizing the world's first continuous control over pre-ringing and post-ringing, the iZotope 64-bit SRC™ utilizes a hyrbrid algorithm providing the highest quality and most customizable resampling available on the market today. Wave Editor was the first audio application on the Macintosh to incorporate iZotope's industry-best sample rate converter. By popular request, Wave Editor 1.3 now includes advanced options giving you full control over all parameters including filter steepness, maximum filter length, cutoff scaling, alias suppression & preringing.

Red Book CD Burning

You asked and we delivered! Wave Editor 1.3 now sports full RedBook-compliant CD burning. Leveraging Mac OS X's powerful disc recording framework, Wave Editor's clean and easy-to-use interface allows you to quickly produce professional quality masters. Simply put each track on its own Layer, arrange them as you desire, add crossfades, and apply Audio Units. Then, drag-and-drop Track and Index Labels and adjust them visually with precision. Finally, enter your ISRC codes, PQ subcodes, UPC/EAN bar code information, CD-TEXT metadata for composer, track title, genre and more, then burn your disc. Our intuitive Cocoa interface makes everything familiar and easy to find.

DDP 2.0 Export (for the rest of us)

Wave Editor 1.3 now exports fully-compliant DDP 2.0 sets. And the best part? Wave Editor 1.3 costs less than Peak Pro or SoundBlade's DDP modules alone! Wave Editor still costs the same and is a free upgrade for existing users. Why pay 3-5 times the cost of Wave Editor JUST for the ability to export DDP? We believe that every musician and engineer, from hobbyist to professional, should be able to afford top quality mastering tools. So, take your prized possessions out of hock and get Wave Editor.

Master Layer

We've added a whole new Layer to our revolutionary Layers concept: the Master Layer. This new Layer holds Audio Units that affect the entire document. It also holds Labels that apply across the entire document, including Track and Index labels for CD burning.

Cut/Copy/Paste To...

Wave Editor 1.3 adds great new advanced Cut/Copy/Paste To... commands. You can now easily cut or copy audio to a new or existing Layer as well as a new document.

Flatten Options

Flattening Layers is now even more powerful in Wave Editor 1.3. New advanced Flatten Options allow you to convert sample rates, create Labels, apply latency compensation and more.

And That's Not All...

Wave Editor 1.3 is our most comprehensive release yet. There are over 50 new features and improvements including a completely redesigned Labels Drawer, redesigned menus, the ability to flatten individual fades, playback latency compensation, searchable Keyboard Shortcuts, snap to time units, VAG time format, more robust recognition of multichannel split file extensions, add to iTunes Library, FLAC, Apple Lossless and Ogg Vorbis import/export, AC3 import, addition of our revolutionary integrated Help Desk, support for Growl and many, many more!

What Is Wave Editor?

Wave Editor is THE audio editor for Mac OS X. Designed in Cocoa from the ground up, Wave Editor proudly takes advantage of Core Audio, Quartz, and other solid OS X features.

Wave Editor takes over where Spark and Sound Designer II left off — incorporating the standard audio editing features you're used to while bringing you up-to-date with the latest advances in interface design, speed and stability, without compromising the power.

Layered Audio

Wave Editor introduces the concept of "Layers" to audio editing (patent pending). Layer portions of audio of any format, channel count, sample rate and bit depth, Audio Units and fades on top of each other, edit to your heart's content, then "flatten" your file to get a result that would have taken much longer the old-fashioned way!

Industry Best Sample Rate Conversion

No need to reinvent the wheel here. Rather than spend a lot of time and money developing our own sample rate conversion, time stretching and wordlength reduction technologies and passing those costs on to you, we decided to source the best DSP available — iZotope™.

Wave Editor incorporates iZotope's industry best 64-bit SRC™ and MBIT+™ dither. We also have incorporated iZotope's SonicFit™ time/pitch technology. This ensures that Wave Editor delivers the highest fidelity and the best value on the market.

Get Smart

Wave Editor introduces "SmartEdits" and the "SmartEdit List." Slice audio into sections, move them wherever you want (even between documents), assign names, colors, fades (and more) and make them work together for the most unique and flexible crossfades. If you're familiar with Sound Designer II's playlists, take the next step with the SmartEdit List.

You're Surrounded

Wave Editor was designed for the modern age. Built for broadcast and Surround applications, Wave Editor is not just a stereo editor. It is truly channel independent, truly multichannel. Some editors claim to be multichannel, but require you to "split" or "unzip" the files before you can edit them. With Wave Editor, you can edit multichannel Surround files directly without this extra step.

Great Tools

Wave Editor includes an advanced Inspector, statistical analyzer, audio processor, three advanced meters, full support for Audio Units, Bezier curve-based fades, support for MP3, AAC, FLAC, Apple Lossless, Ogg Vorbis, portable document templates and much, much more!

One Version, One Price

No need to have to compare different versions of the same product here. It's just Wave Editor, not Wave Editor Lite/Pro/Express/2007. One version, one price and all the features you expect. Some other developers DDP extensions alone cost hundreds more than Wave Editor. Compare to the competition and we think you'll see it's the best value in the industry.

Try It Free...

Wave Editor will run, without limitation, for 15 days. After that, you'll need to purchase Wave Editor for $250 to utilize the application's functionality. A Wave Editor license key can be purchased directly from our online store.

Open & Arrange

Start by opening tracks as individual layers. Our new advanced options in the Open dialog allow you to open multiple documents as overlapping or consecutive layers. Precisely arrange the tracks as you desire. No playlists required.

Edit & Process

If required, use the industry-best iZotope 64-bit SRC™ to convert the sample rate of your tracks. Wave Editor 1.3 now gives you total control over the iZotope 64-bit SRC advanced options. Apply your favorite mastering Audio Unit plug-ins to each Layer (for individual tracks) or the Master Layer (for the entire document). Apply fades using our beautiful and easy-to-use Bezier-curve fade overlays or use our unique SmartEdits to fade your tracks in or out.

Apply Labels & Metadata

We have gone to great lengths to make Wave Editor familiar and intuitive. Because Wave Editor is built from the ground up in Cocoa and uses standard Mac OS X interface elements, you don't have to spend a lot of time learning new buttons and controls. Adding Tracks and Indexes is as easy as dragging and dropping them from the Label Well. Applying metadata for CD-TEXT, audio CD information and DDP is just as simple. Edit track-specific data by selecting the track in the Labels drawer and entering it in the split-pane at the bottom of the drawer. Add CD-specific data in the Properties panel. Nothing out of the ordinary, yet seemingly extraordinary.

Export

Your master is complete, now what? Simply export your DDP set by choosing "Export > DDP..." from the File menu. Need a reference copy? Choose "Burn Disc..." from the File menu. Yes, it's that easy.

iZotope MBIT+™ Dither

iZotope's MBIT+™ dithering algorithm features psychoacoustic noise shaping, based on research with actual musical material, making it the best sounding dither on the market. As our perception of the end result is the most important metric of quality, iZotope has built all of their models using real music — and not test tones, hisses, hums, bleeps, and buzzes. The result is the most musical and sonically pleasing dither available.

Wave Editor makes it extremely easy to take advantage of MBIT+ dither: simply choose it from the popup menu in the Burn Disc or Export DDP dialog boxes. Need detailed control? Simply use the Processor to add your dither before you burn or export your DDP set. Power to the people...

What You Need, When You Need It

Audiofile Engineering started in a studio, not a boardroom. Along the way, we realized one thing that plagued the world of audio software — inadequate end-user support. It has been our goal since day one to do everything we can to change this.

We take great pride in providing unparalleled technical support for our customers. Everything we do, even the process of developing our software, is done so with our customers in mind. We've gone to great lengths to improve our development workflow and quality control in order to prevent issues from happening in the first place. We've gone even further by implementing modern tools that allow us to support our customers better and faster than anyone else.

Introducing The Help Desk...

We had an idea — a big idea. What if a software application had everything it needed? Not just the features you need to get your work done, not just the bells and whistles and a pretty interface. What if we went even further? What if you could access all of our support resources IN the program? Now, that's an idea.

The Help Desk is totally unique to Audiofile Engineering software (patent pending, no kidding). Most Help menus launch your email application or your favorite web browser as soon as you choose an item. Not ours. Our revolutionary Help Desk gives you direct access to screencasts, documentation, release notes, software update options, license keys, debug options and support request submission and tracking. The Help Desk even tells you when manuals have been updated or new tutorials have been posted! You never have to leave the application, you always stay in the context of your work. You can submit your great feature request idea as soon as it comes to your mind without ever having to send an email or visit a website. It's a big idea, but we think it is an important one.

Only The Best For You

No need to reinvent the wheel here. Rather than spend a lot of time and money developing our own sample rate conversion and wordlength reduction technologies and passing those costs on to you, we decided to source the best DSP available — iZotope. Wave Editor incorporates iZotope's industry best 64-bit SRC™ and MBIT+™ dither. We have also incorporated iZotope's SonicFit™ time/pitch technology.

iZotope 64-bit SRC™

The iZotope 64-bit SRC utilizes a hyrbrid algorithm providing the highest quality and most customizable resampling available on the market today. iZotope 64-bit SRC features a hybrid ringing control enabling a compromise between the standard pre-ringing of a linear phase filter and the post-ringing of a minimum phase filter. A continuous control morphs the algorithm from a linear phase filter to a minimum phase filter. The key step of sample rate conversion is the quality of the low-pass filter design. The crucial aspects include a flat pass-band, steep transition-band, high suppression in the stop-band, and minimal ringing. The careful attention of iZotope's SRC protects against the loss of data, aliasing, noise, and unwanted ringing artifacts that plague other implementations. Key features include the world's first continuous control over pre-ringing and post-ringing, alias-free operation for minimal harmonic distortion, Control filter cutoff steepness versus ringing, 64-bit double precision internal processing for minimal noise, highly efficiency for realtime operation, variable cutoff scaling, upsampling and downsampling at arbitrary sample precision and bit depth, and unlimited sample rate support (including 44.1kHz, 96kHz, 192kHz, and higher).

iZotope MBIT+™ Dither

iZotope's MBIT+ dithering algorithm features psychoacoustic noise shaping based on research with actual musical material, making it the best sounding dither on the market. As our perception of the end result is the most important metric of quality, iZotope has built all of their models using real music — not test tones, hisses, hums, bleeps, and buzzes. The result is the most musical and sonically pleasing dither available. Key features include control of noise shaping amount, autoblanking to disable dither during digital silence, control overall amount of dither introduced, specific models for 44.1kHz/96kHz/192kHz, psychoacoustic models based on extensive musical listening, and low-latency/processor-efficient operation designed for high performance, realtime environments.
