The Eddie Kramer Signature Series from Waves is a collection of five plug-ins created in collaboration with mixing engineer Eddie Kramer and include his Bass Channel, Drum Channel, Effects Channel, Guitar Channel and Vocal Channel. The bundle includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
The Eddie Kramer Bass Channel from Waves is a plug-in designed to achieve a fat bass sound with a lot of presence, that cuts through a mix without being overbearing. By accentuating the low-mid frequencies, the plug-in allows the bass part to be heard clearly, even at low volumes on small speakers.
Aside from EQ, and compression, the software provides two input modes, Bass1 and Bass2. Bass1 is less compressed for a more dynamic sound that has room to breathe, while Bass2 delivers a more aggressive sound with increased compression. The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
The Eddie Kramer Drum Channel from Waves is a plug-in that features Eddie Kramer's favorite processor settings for achieving his signature sounding drum tracks. Whether bigger than life drum sounds are required or something drier or heavily squashed, the plug-in can deliver.
Since there are individual modes for each drum that makes up a standard kit, it's possible to mix things and to create custom hybrid drum kits, using favorite elements from each. The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
The Eddie Kramer Effects Channel from Waves is a plug-in which features processor settings that Kramer has used over the years. Basically, the software includes a delay and reverb processor with a choice of two starting points. Controls for delay time and reverb size are provided.
H-Slap is a shorter delay that emulates tape at 15 inches per second, with some EMT plate reverb at a medium setting. Z-Slap features a longer delay reminiscent of tape running at 7.5 inches per second with a bit of feedback, with a longer setting on the EMT plate reverb. The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
The Eddie Kramer Guitar Channel from Waves is a plug-in designed to processes guitar tracks and features settings for lead guitars and two types of rhythm guitars. Aside from EQ, compression, reverb, delay, and flange, the software provides three input modes, Rhythm 1, Rhythm 2, and Lead.
For the rhythm guitars, the processing allows them to be "upfront" without sounding over processed. And for the lead guitars, the software delivers enough processing options to have them be exciting and to come "alive." The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
The Eddie Kramer Vocal Channel from Waves is a plug-in that features processor settings to help achieve a seamless blending of the vocal track with the rest of the instrumentation, while still allowing the vocal to retain all of its original clarity and presence.
Processors include EQ and compression, along with reverb and delay. There are two base settings; Vocal 1 is designed for classic rock vocals with a lot of dynamic range and intensity. Vocals 2 is for gentler vocal performances that stay at smoother, steadier levels.
The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
