using wavelab 4 here. Love it.
I use it to surgically fine tune all of my audio (or mangle it to death).

Also use it during the mastering phase.

Pardon my newb question... So you bounce your projects (audio &/or midi) from Live or Cubase etc. into wavelab as Audio to i.e. finalize an mp3 or CD or whatever format suits you. It seems like WaveLab Essential can handle those basic tasks for $99 but you lose out on the mastering extras.

yeah, one of the things I use wavelab for is mastering each song. But there is so much more functionality in that program and I find that I use wavelab more for working within sound files (ie cutting things up, splicing new things together, muting sections etc.) than for mastering.

I ditched SoundForge since version 6 and moved to WaveLab. One of the things i really like about it is that as a Cubase user it has the same shortcuts, and it basically has everything i need from an audio editor, simple and intuitive to use.

Thanks guys... all sounds good. Maybe the WaveLab Studio 6 is the better bargain in the long run over the Essentials.

I guess I'll go back to reading my Ti owners manual I read a few pages and then start playing with buttons... so distracting - but I'm going cover to cover even if it takes me til tios5.0

good for you. and don't get discouraged . . . the virus (all versions) is an amazingly complex beast. As a matter of fact, I will be going through the virus programming tutorial again this weekend.
