I’m still not sure why “multichannel” montages exist, or at least how to use them (no help from the non-existent docs, and the help system doesn’t make things easy to find).įurthermore, while Cubase, Nuendo, Logic and ProTools are all great multichannel editors, most aren’t very good at flexible deliveries (that’s really what I do as a mastering engineer: deliver multiple files formatted for various consumer playback media and targets). Yesterday I tried dropping both interleaved and split multichannel files into the Montage, after the File editor failed to open them in sync. I respectfully disagree Neil… Shouldn’t an app claiming to make DVD-Audio discs as a feature be able to handle multichannel files, a staple of that format? I might agree if we lacked that option, and Steinberg wasn’t selling it as a feature.

I would like to see a commitment that Poly BWF will be supported in the next revision after WL7.1. The basic feature would appear to be the ability to ingest a Poly BWF (up to 8 channels?) and configure it in the montage as a set of mono/stereo files, to be then processed as at present. This feature was requested in WL6 times, and it was hoped that WL7 would have addressed it. Currently this efficiency is compromised because of the need to run the resulting files through an external “splitting” program, to present Wavelab with a set of multiple files. Likewise RME use this format of output for efficiency in use of recording resources - the current Global Record facility in DigiCheck and direct recording via USB from the new UFX interface are key examples. The attraction is more convenient handling of ISO channel output from devices like the Nagra VI. It is not an issue of surround, but an issue of increasing use of this format in acquisition. I would like to re-iterate the desirability of this feature in WaveLab.
