Nearly three years on, Wavelab has taken further strides forward in version 8. The first thing that struck me when I launched the new version was just how slick it looks compared with version 7. From subtle changes in parts of the GUI colour scheme that provide greater contrast while helping to tie everything together, to the new design clarity of many of the icons, which makes their function more obvious, this latest version is instantly familiar, yet easier to take in at a glance. I even found myself noticing for the first time smaller items that had appeared in Wavelab 7. The biggest sore point about version 7 for many users was the lack of a comprehensive manual, so let me reassure you on this count right away. This time around, there's a massive 823-page Operation Manual in PDF format for those who fancy some computer-based bedside reading matter, with the same in-depth information available as context-sensitive help from within Wavelab 8 itself. There are also, of course, numerous new features. The most obvious change across the Audio and Montage windows is the redesigned Master Transport Panel. ![]() ![]() This, of course, is in constant use, and whereas it was previously partly duplicated on the Central Switcher Bar, and at risk of getting lost among the other Command Bars, it now sits above or below the main waveform windows, consolidating all the existing transport commands into one neat area and offering a number of improvements and new options. These include playback 'anchors' with associated 'play from' and 'play to' commands, and adjustable pre/post-roll settings, so you can more quickly audition different portions of your audio files.
