While I don’t know about costs, IMO this was my #1 feature of all time eliminated with the start of CubaseSX. Wavelab-Cubase integration worked with CubaseVST32 and Wavelab 4.
It truly was a fantastic feature:
-
Double click on the wave part in the arrange page in Cubase, and within seconds Wavelab opens with that same wave open.
-
Make your edits to the wave in Wavelab.
-
In Cubase double click again on that same wave part in the arrange page…and the wave is updated in Cubase!
It was fantastic workflow and integration…apparently lost because many were requesting multiple undo’s.
