Steinberg releases WaveLab 8.5 Trial Version and updates WaveLab 8 to v8.0.4

Steinberg has released a trial version for the WaveLab 8.5 professional mastering suite and also the final 8.0.4 maintenance update for the previous version, WaveLab 8, which fixes some issues in areas such as plug-ins and markers.

The WaveLab 8.5 trial version may be used for a period of 30 days and comes with the same functionality that the full version has to offer, including Watch Folders, Encoder Checker and Multi-Format rendering.
