Waves Audio, a leading developer of professional audio signal processing technologies and plugins, is now shipping the Waves Nx Virtual Studio Collection. This plugin bundle is designed to give users virtual access to the acoustics and monitoring systems of world-famous mixing rooms, on any pair of stereo headphones.
From L.A. to New York to Nashville, the Waves Nx Virtual Studio Collection brings together precision acoustic models of multiple world-class studios like Ocean Way Nashville, Chris Lord-Alge’s Mix LA, Germano Studios New York (originally The Hit Factory), and the original Waves Nx Virtual Mix Room.
“Now you can make your best decisions about balance, stereo image and panning, mix depth, low-end response, reverb usage and more. Get reliable perspective as you cross-check your mixes in trustworthy acoustic reference environments, expertly tuned to ensure that your work translates properly to all systems,” the announcement states.
Each Nx plugin comes with several monitoring systems from the original studios, emulating the acoustic response of studio classics including NS10s, high-end Ocean Way and Exigy monitors, and more—for a total of 4 studios and 12 stereo and surround monitoring systems.
All Nx plugins are powered by Waves’ Nx technology for immersive spatial audio. Waves Nx uses channel crosstalk, inter-aural delays (ITD), filters (ILD), early reflections, and head motion tracking to replicate the immersive experience of hearing audio in the real world. All these are coupled with precision measurements of the actual studios, to deliver a three-dimensional representation of the original acoustic experiences.
