As part of the WaveLab family, WaveLab Essential 6 is based on award-wining technology from Steinberg`s WaveLab editing and mastering application, and combines the features of many other programs into one intuitive and flexible application.

WaveLab Essential 6 features sample-accurate stereo combined with impressive effects for sound design. Depending on the editing task, users may chose between a destructive stereo editor and the powerful non-destructive, clip-based Audio CD Montage.

The Audio CD Montage allows real-time fades and cross fades, clip-based effects and global effects through the Master Section. Every change and edit can be undone with the unlimited undo/redo capability. No other single software tool can match the WaveLab Essential 6 feature set in its price range.

The Audio CD Montage is the heart of the non-destructive, real-time editing processes in Steinberg WaveLab Essential 6. All editing tasks and actions are either processed in real-time or rendered into the audio material. The powerful Audio CD Montage environment supports not only two audio tracks but also a video track for audio-to-video editing.

Audio files in the Audio CD Montage are shown as so-called clips. Each clip is actually merely a window on either a part or the entire length of an audio file. The selection can be enlarged, reduced or just moved over the audio material (known as sliding). The advanced Crossfade handling in the Audio CD Montage includes freely movable crossfade handles and symmetric resizing to come up with the perfect crossfade. Grouping of clips in a montage provides an easy way to edit fades for multiple clips across tracks. Up to four plug-ins can be used globally on any montage.

CD Mastering is more than just squeezing maximum loudness out of music tracks and putting these into the right order for creating a CD. A mastering studio has to match and adjust levels, equalization, spatial integration and many other audio aspects between different audio tracks in order to create a coherent acoustic experience across the entire CD.

Steinberg WaveLab Essential 6 makes the creation of complex transitions and cross fades between titles very easy. WaveLab Essential 6 provides intuitive track assembly, audio editing, cross fades and effects processing. You can even create full colour CD covers and labels right out of the project. No other audio editing software offers such a complete set of CD mastering features in this price range.
