Waves Horizon Bundle (TDM)

AudioTrack TDM from Waves is a plug-in that features three complete Waves processors in a single, easy-to-use interface. Ideal for multimedia, voiceovers, project studios, and more, the plug-in contains a four-band EQ, compressor/expander, and a gate.

C1 Parametric Compander TDM from Waves is a dynamics processor plug-in featuring three distinct modules. The Compressor/Expander, Gate/Expander, Filter/EQ sections allow the plug-in to fulfill multiple functions, either as separate processors, or combined for maximum flexibility.

C4 Multiband TDM from Waves is a multiband dynamics processor plug-in that features four-bands of up and down expansion, limiting, and compression, along with dynamic and standard EQ.

By combining the technologies from the Renaissance Compressor and the C1 Parametric Compander, the plug-in provides comprehensive and transparent control over the contours of a mix.

Center from Waves is a plug-in ideal for tuning final mixes and mastering. An innovative processor, the plug-in allows for separating the phantom Center content from the Side (L/R) content in stereo sources to bring out or bring down the vocals, or whatever occupies the center space, without affecting everything else. Using an engine which considers the amplitude, frequency and time envelope of stereo sources, Center delivers the power to radically re-balance the spatial imagery.

It is also possible to widen or narrow the Side content without disturbing the Center. Additionally, punch, high frequency and low frequency controls provide adjustments for enhancing those details for maximum impact. Perfect for post-production engineers and DJs as well, the software allows for repositioning, isolating, and even eliminating elements of the mix.

This version is for use with Avid's Pro Tools HD systems.

The CLA-2 (TDM) from Waves is a plug-in modeled after a legendary classic compressor/limiter. Like the original electro-optical tube compressor, the plug-in retains the smooth, frequency-dependent behavior that has made the hardware a favorite of engineers everywhere.

The CLA-3A (TDM) from Waves is a plug-in modeled after a famous, early 70's solid-state compressor, originally known for its unique and highly transparent compression curve. Features of the original included a quick response and the subtle harmonic distortion, both of which are faithfully recreated in the software version. The plug-in is especially useful on bass, as well as on guitars and vocals.

The CLA-76 Blacky & Bluey (TDM) from Waves is a plug-in that features models of the famed mid-60's Class A line level limiting amplifier. A favorite studio tool, the original hardware had a superfast attack (as quick as 50 microseconds) that is reproduced in the software model. The plug-in can be used on numerous sources, but really shines when processing drums.

Also featured in the plug-in is the unconventional "All Ratio Buttons In" setting that provided the trademark overdriven tone of the original, along with modeled pre-amp distortion. The original hardware underwent numerous revisions after it was first introduced with a blue strip on a silver faceplate. The black face version added low-noise circuits on additional circuit boards and reduced distortion. Both versions are represented here.

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.

DeEsser TDM from Waves is a plug-in used to reduce excess sibilance ("ess" and "shh" sounds) from vocal tracks. Inspired by vintage gear for precision de-essing and high frequency limiting, the plug-in delivers smooth and natural output without complicated adjustments.

L1 Ultramaximizer TDM from Waves is a plug-in that provides dynamics control for any audio application, from multimedia to mastering. The software features look-ahead peak limiting, level maximization, and high resolution re-quantization, and is well known for its transparency and punch.

L2 Ultramaximizer TDM from Waves is a plug-in that provides dynamics control for mixing, mastering, and more. The software features look-ahead brickwall peak limiting, level maximization, and ultra high resolution re-quantization for crystal clear level gain.

The L3 Multimaximizer TDM from Waves, is a plug-in that performs multi-band peak limiting and comes in two versions, the Multimaximizer and Ultramaximizer. Both plug-ins utilize a patent-pending "Peak Limiting Mixer" (PLMixer) engine, the only difference being that less control is provided on the Ultramaximizer.

Unlike most wide band limiters, the L3 uses linear phase crossover filters to divide the audio spectrum into five bands. The PLMixer then uses psychoacoustic criteria to intelligently decide how much attenuation to apply to each band so that all available headroom is used.

The result is that inter-modulation is minimized and overall loudness is maximized, while brick-wall limiting is still maintained - all while retaining the simplicity of a single master threshold control. With its transparent operation, brick-wall limiting, extreme tonal range and dithering and noise shaping control, the L3 can function as a complete mastering processor.

The Linear Phase Equalizer TDM from Waves is a plug-in that was conceived and created with mastering as its main focus. The linear phase filters preserve the original musical balance with absolutely zero phase shift, while providing precision control over the harmonic spectrum.

The inclusion of linear phase crossovers allows the plug-in to function without any phase-based distortion, and each of the five bands features threshold, gain, range, attack and release controls for transparent, yet powerful multiband compression.

MaxxBass (TDM) from Waves is a plug-in for enhancing the perceived loudness of the bass content in an audio source. The software uses psycho-acoustics to calculate precise harmonics that are related to the fundamental tones of sound. When these harmonics are combined with the original signal, it creates the effect of lower, deeper frequencies that is apparent on virtually any speaker.

The plug-in also allows smaller speakers to appear to deliver a stronger and lower bass signal without damaging the smaller cones inside the speakers. The technology has been used to enhance the bass on many hit records, and in major motion pictures to deliver earth shattering effects.

MaxxVolume TDM from Waves is a four-way dynamics processor plug-in, that combines several technologies from other Waves' processors into a single, unified interface. Building on the L2 Ultramaximizer, C1 Parametric Compander, Renaissance Vox, and Renaissance Compressor, the plug-in provides a unique functionality for mixing and mastering, as well as broadcast and post-production.

When used with vocals, the processor allows the vocal to stay in focus with automatic level riding. When working with instruments, the plug-in can control the dynamic range without the artifacts of compressors and limiters. And for Broadcast, the engineer can bring any program material to a fixed destination level, making it ideal for radio and TV, Podcasting, internet streaming, and more.

All the engineer has to do is 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.

Kramer Master Tape from Waves is a plug-in that models the audio characteristics of a vintage 1/4" reel to reel tape machine. The plug-in provides the usual controls found on tape machines, such as adjustable tape speed, bias, and flux, in addition to control over things that were at one time considered faults, like wow & flutter and noise. These are now considered desirable characteristics that can add an organic feel to otherwise lifeless digital audio.

Furthermore, the plug-in also includes what was once an unintended consequence of using tape, namely a flexible slap and feedback delay, ideal for rock, dance, dub, or any other audio application. For recording, mixing, mastering, and more, the plug-in delivers the richness and warmth of real tape saturation to a Pro Tools HD workstation.

The HLS Channel TDM from Waves models a Helios mixing console just like the one used in historic sessions at London's acclaimed Olympic Studios.

HLS Channel was developed in association with producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, one of the premier engineers at Olympic Studios during that classic period of rock n' roll. Waves modeled the unique behavior, coloration, and drive of the Helios console's preamps. The equalizers were modeled for their sweet saturation, high-end presence, and fat low-frequency boost. The HLS Channel also features a precision-modeled VU meter that recreates the sensitivity, ballistic behavior, look, and feel of the original.

Bass Rider (TDM) from Waves is an easy-to-use plug-in that rides bass levels automatically, delivering perfect bass levels without changing the natural sound of the instrument.
