WaveLab
Steinberg's mastering and audio editing tool is overkill for cutting an episode but excellent for the final polish pass before publishing.
PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools
WaveLab is Steinberg's audio editing and mastering application, closer in spirit to Sound Forge than to a full multitrack DAW. It's built for taking a finished mix and polishing it: loudness normalization, spectral repair, batch processing across an entire back catalog of episodes.
Podcast networks that need to hit exact LUFS targets across dozens of shows sometimes use WaveLab's batch processor to run that correction automatically instead of doing it by hand in each episode.
It's not where you'd assemble a multi-guest interview from scratch, there's no comping workflow or easy multitrack timeline for recording several mics at once.
Think of it as the last stop before publishing, not the place where editing actually happens.
