AudioTrack
AudioTrack gives you the power of three complete Waves processors in one easy-to-use plug-in. With equalization, gating, and compression, it's ideal for multimedia, voiceovers, project studios, and more.

C1 Parametric Compander
With compression, expansion, gating, and equalization, the C1 Parametric Compander is a true audio production workhorse, featuring three independent modules which can be used separately or combined for maximum flexibility.

C4 Multiband
The ultimate virtual multiband dynamics processor, the C4 does it all: 4 bands of up and down expansion, limiting, and compression, plus dynamic and standard EQ. Combining technologies from Waves' acclaimed Renaissance Compressor and the powerful C1 Parametric Compander, the C4 gives you unprecedented control over the contours of your mix, with maximum clarity and transparency.

Waves Center
Ideal for final mixes and audio mastering, the Waves Center plug-in is an innovative processor that separates phantom Center content from Side (L/R) content. With Center, you can zero in on the phantom center and bring out or bring down the vocals without affecting everything else. Perfect for post-production engineers and DJs as well, Center lets you reposition, isolate, and even eliminate elements of your mix.

Using a unique dynamic engine which considers the amplitude, frequency, and time envelope of stereo sources, Center gives you the power to radically rebalance your spatial imagery. Adjustable punch, high-frequency, and low-frequency controls let you enhance detail with maximum impact.

Get centered or get sidetracked. Choose sides or play it down the middle. Find the middle ground, or get a little something on the side. With Waves Center, you really can play the (stereo) field.

CLA-2A Compressor/Limiter
Modeled on the legendary electro-optical tube compressor, the CLA-2A plug-in emulates the original's smooth, frequency-dependent behaviors that have made it a favorite of engineers everywhere. Like the mid-'60s classic, the CLA-2A sounds great on guitars and bass, and really shines on vocals.

CLA-76 Blacky & Bluey Compressors/Limiters
Inspired by two highly-desirable revisions of the famed mid-'60s Class A line-level limiting amplifier, both versions of the CLA-76 ("Blacky" and "Bluey") offer the superfast attack (as quick as 50 microseconds) that made the originals studio legends. With an exclusive "ALL" control that recreates the original's explosive "All-Ratio-Buttons-In" mode, plus modeled pre-amp distortion for that extra edge, the CLA-76 plug-in delivers some of the most powerful drum sounds imaginable.

DeBreath
Singers insist on breathing”even when it spoils a perfectly good take. With DeBreath, you can truly take their breath away. DeBreath uses a unique algorithm that automatically detects and separates a vocal take into two distinct tracks: only voice and only breath. Now you can control how much breath you want on your vocal track, and how you want it processed. You can even add room tone where breaths have been removed or reduced. And DeBreath isn't just for singers; it's also a great time-saver for voice overs and multimedia.

UM225/UM226 Stereo-to-Surround Processors
From music to movie soundtracks and beyond, audio engineers are upmixing all sorts of content from stereo to surround, to capture the excitement of today's full, multi-speaker environments. And when the original multitrack sessions aren't available, they have to work with stereo mixes.

Presenting the UM225 and UM226 stereo-to-surround processors, two new music software tools that bring Waves quality to the new surround soundscape.

Experienced engineers know that in order to achieve optimal surround from stereo, they need to maintain the character of the original mix, including absolute levels, relative levels, and relative positions in space. At the same time, they want to realize the potential of the center, rear, and LFE channels, for a rich, enveloping 360 mix.

Using patented center- and rear-channel extraction processes, together with a unique LFE channel enrichment process, the UM225 for 5.0 and the UM226 for 5.1 deliver improved surround imaging, for a wider soundscape with better separation.

For sound designers who want to use stereo effects on surround soundtracks; for engineers updating archive material to today's HDTV surround standard; for keyboardists who need 5.0 or 5.1 output for virtual instruments; for post-production specialists who want to enhance LFE effects like explosions, earthquakes, and street rumble; and for recordists that require creative conversion of stereo sources to surround in real time, the UM225 and UM226 are incredibly versatile, stereo-to-surround processors that give you exceptional audio quality.

V-Comp Compressor
Using time constants and a fixed nominal output gain, the V-Comp recreates the rich lush buss sound of the vintage 2254 hardware compressor. This super-responsive dynamics processor packs a recognizable musical punch heard on countless hit records. Its controlled, gentle compression can really glue a mix together.

Vocal Rider
Vocal Rider is the first of Waves pioneering series of Mix tools. Simply put, Vocal Rider rides the levels of vocal tracks, automatically.

Instead of manually riding the physical mixing console fader, or tediously drawing in each individual level change on a DAW track, Vocal Rider plug-in does it for you, making it a true timesaver.

All you need to do is set the target range of the vocal level in relation to the rest of the mix. Then, Vocal Rider compensates for all deviations from the target, intelligently raising or lowering the vocal volume, instantly. And, unlike everyday compression, Vocal Rider adds absolutely no additional coloring to the track.

The Vocal Rider Live component includes an exclusive Spill control to differentiate the vocal from background instrumentation and noise, for better tracking and performance.
