Important Notice: XO Wave will be discontinued in the next few months as we prepare to bring you the next generation Digital Audio Workstation. A discount upgrade path will be available for current users, but not for users who purchase XO Wave after August 31st, 2010. We realize that there are few professional CD mastring options with the full range of capabilities offered by XO Wave, so we will continue to offer the package as long as possible. However, please keep in mind that as discontinued software:

  • This site may not contain up-to-date information.
  • Technical Support will be discontinued on November 30th.

For up-to-date information about our upcoming software, please join our mailing list.

1A total of 3 built-in effects may be used in any one session. The Meter, Volume, and Aux Send effects are "free" -- they do not count against the 3-effect limit in XO Wave Free. For example, if you have a compressor one one track and an EQ on another, and both tracks have volumes and meters, that counts as two effects.

2 8/16/24/32 bit AIFF and WAV files supported as well as many AIFC formats, including AIFC floating point.

3 MP3 support requires a third-party plug-in.

4 Exported movies may be audio-only or may be audio plus the synchronized movie.

5 Many currencies supported.

For questions about volume licensing or special requirements, including support for Sassafras K2 KeyServer, please contact XO Audio.
