Hi again, today I really felt it in a mastering session. I downloaded the WL demo which I promised myself I wouldn't do, but it's currently cheaper than Acoustica premium.
The wave editor is outstanding, and I am only mentioning downloading it for 2 reasons.
1) Wavelab has an integrated transient snap. When you want to select part of an audio file and click drag, transients appear and you can snap the selection to them. I have never seen anything like this before and it is so seamless. Cutting perfect loops out of larger audio files has never been this easy. I would LOVE Acoustica to copy this.
2) Today I was using Ozone with a lot of the modules activated and in linear phase mode, and the delay of Acoustica really got to me. I then saved my preset and loaded it in Wavelab and it has perfect delay compensation. This is actually a big deal after really using it a lot today.
Acoustica is fantastic for some quick editing and restoration, but it really does need PDC. I think in the meantime after all that, I WILL grab Wavelab simply for this reason on the current loyalty sale (just 230 AUD or 150 USD). But I know it will be wasted money because if Acoustica fixes this issue I'll go back to it as I can not even rate how much I prefer your GUI. It's an immeasurable figure. Wavelab, for my eyes at least, is needlessly complex to look at and a bit of a visual mess, but it's a good app. No, great app. Immensely powerful.
The other amazing thing about Acoustica is that it has Pro Tools audio suite integration. Pro Tools does not broadly support ARA like other ARA daws, they have to update it for specific plugins. So since neither Acoustica ARA nor Wavelab ARA currently work in Pro Tools, Acoustica at least has the offline transfer function which is, in reality, just as good (cause you also get the full editor functionality). All I have to do is press one button and Acoustica opens with the selected file, no different to ARA, then when I close it the file gets transferred to pro tools if I press yes and no if I don't. The only difference to ARA is same page integration with timeline sync but I am very happy with what Acon have done for us PT users during the lack of ARA (and this is entirely Avid's doing till they update it).
Wavelab has absolutely no integration whatsoever which basically makes it entirely pointless for me except for two specific tasks 1) cutting audio loops out of a longer file and 2)mastering standalone. I tell you, if it was still 768 AUD I wouldn't even have downloaded the demo.
I really hope you fix this Stian.. Even Twisted Wave has latency compensation.
I am hoping it's a bug in the current version or something and not meant to be this way.
Fingers crossed.
The transient feature would be such a boon too.
Pretty please! (with a cherry on top)!!
