They support RTAS, Audio Suite, AU, and VST plug-in formats for both Mac and PC.
Please note: This bundle is and electronic download.
Waves Tune Native is an easy to use pitch/formant correcting plug-in that delivers an exceptional level of sound quality and transparency.
Waves Tune will automatically tune a vocal track, making the changes as gentle or as aggressive as required, using default parameters or custom settings. You can choose the singer's general range (generic, bass, baritone, tenor, alto, mezzo soprano, or soprano) or change the range manually as needed. Selecting the root note and scale allows the plug-in to correct to the notes in that key. In addition to dozens of preset scales, custom scales can be created. You can even choose to bypass notes entirely, leaving them "as is."

DeBreath Native from Waves is a plug-in that can rescue the otherwise perfect vocal take that is marred by too much heavy breathing. That can be especially obvious when close-mic'ing a singer.
The plug-in utilizes a unique algorithm that automatically detects and separates a vocal take into two distinct components-only voice and only breath. At which point it is a simple matter of lowering the unwanted intrusions.
For situations where breath removal might sound artificial, a control allows for adding room tone to cover up the reduction or removal.
- Breath - 0% to 100% breath threshold
- Energy (Gate) - -64 dB to 0 dB energy threshold
- Reduction - -infinity to 0 dB gain reduction
- Reduction Meter - -infinity to 0 dB
- Fade Out - 0.1 ms to 200 ms
- Fade In - 0.1 ms to 200 ms
- Monitor - voice or breath
- Room Tone - white noise on/off
Renaissance Channel Native from Waves is a channel strip plug-in that features equalization, compression, limiting, and gating in a single convenient interface.

The Renaissance DeEsser Native from Waves is a plug-in used to reduce excess sibilance ("ess" and "shh" sounds) from vocal tracks. A state-of-the-art sibilance attenuator reduces undesirable high frequencies while preserving the integrity of the source.
A variety of presets for both male and female voices, along with the functionality of audio or side-chain monitoring, make it easy to spot problem areas and clean them up with accuracy and ease.

- Output Meter: -40 dB to 0 dB with peak hold and clip indicators
The Renaissance Axx Native from Waves is a dynamics plug-in engineered especially for guitar and bass. Settings can be dialed in very easily via a three-parameter interface that includes a fixed ratio curve, automatic release value, and an output limiter to prevent clipping.

- Input Meter: -60 dB to 0 dB
- Attack: 0 ms to 50 ms
- Attenuation Meter: 0 dB to -30 dB
- Output Gain Fader: -30 dB to 0 dB
- Output Meter: -60 dB to 0 dB with peak hold and clip indicators
