I still somehow think that you would be well advised to retain your investment in WL6 by upgrading to the full version of WL8, because for relatively little money you get a whole lot more, even if you don’t initially make use of all the features. ( Sorry Steinberg, I’ll get me coat …)įinally, WaveLab Elements 8 is one of the best value options out there in terms of what you can achieve with it, and I would have no hesitancy recommending it, if you decide to go that route. It will require that you run it as Administrator, but it may be one possible zero-cost option in your case. You might however want to try the following: copy the WaveLab 6 folder from your old computer to the laptop, download and install the latest update for the eLicenser, plug in your dongle and try running the WaveLab 6 exe! Completely unsupported, but it just might work … I believe there’s someone on the forum here who does this on Windows 7. What I can say is that it works flawlessly on Windows 8.1 (which I still hate) so at least the WL6 incompatibility issue goes away. WAVELAB PRO WAVELAB ELEMENTS WAVELAB LE DOCUMENTATION The online help and PDF manuals are available on steinberg.help. – I agree with the “yucky Windows 8.1” bit … I have both WL8.5 on Windows 7圆4 and WLE8 on a laptop running Windows 8.1. Downloads Contact WAVELAB 9.5 Downloads Download faster, more convenient and more reliably using the Steinberg Download Assistant. Against this background, you might want to consider the upgrade from WL6 to WL8 (full version). – You can’t “cross-grade” or “down-grade” from your existing WL6 to WLE8 … you would basically have to buy WLE8 as well. You can’t, however, go the other way and transfer a dongle license to a “soft” eLicenser. You can later transfer the license to a hardware dongle and install the application on as many computers as you wish, but it will only run on the computer with the dongle. Otherwise, best to contact Steinberg support in your region. Run the maintenance inside the app -Unplug and re-insert the USB dongle -Restart the computer One or more of those things could solve it. – You can run WLE8 without a hardware dongle, which might be useful seeing as you’re going to be using a laptop. Update to the latest version of the eLicenser app found HERE. Other issues that may influence your decision: Even if you did occasionally need more, you might be able to get around this by bouncing to intermediate tracks. However, as you say you only need 2-3 stereo tracks, you should be OK. WaveLab Elements 8 has one potentially serious limitation for radio/dialogue work: the montage is limited to 3 tracks (stereo or mono). Most of the kerfuffle about this has died down in the meantime, but personally I think the new GUI is well worth any initial frustration – and I’m still learning! PG is very responsive to user concerns and is here on the forum most days, 8.5 is a great improvement on the initial 7 release and getting better with each update. Most things are similar but there are some new concepts to get your head around which can be frustrating for a while. The jump from 6 to 7 (and 8) is huge in terms of the GUI … it’s almost a different application, so be prepared to spend a lot of time scratching your head (and hair pulling!).
