The HLS Channel plug-in brings the famed Helios console sound to your mixes, you know, the one used on all those '70s Stones albums.

Bring vintage studio sweetness and warmth to your DAW with the Waves Tape, Tubes & Transistors bundle. Waves Tape, Tubes & Transistors at a Glance:
MPX Master Tape Plug-in Breathe analog life into your DAW tracks with the Waves MPX Master Tape plug-in. Developed in association with Eddie Kramer and modeled on an Ampex 350 with 351 electronics, MPX Master Tape gives you warmth, sweetness, and lucidity - without a trace of muddiness. Treat your entire mix - or just individual elements to offset the oftentimes harsh, clinical quality of digital. Take the digital edge off synthesizers or sampled instruments, or jack up the drive level to get tape saturation's punchy brand of compression. With Waves MPX Master Tape in your toolbox, you have the best of analog and digital at your fingertips. HLS Channel Plug-in What you're looking at right now is the HLS Channel, which re-creates the world-class Helios mixing console - the one Eddie used in historic sessions at London's Olympic Studios. In fact, when you call up the HLS Channel plug-in, you're going to be tweaking a model of the Helios from the Rolling Stones' mobile truck - a model used on a number of classic recordings during the early '70s. Expect sweet saturation, in-the-mix presence, and a deliciously fat low-frequency boost. You can even expect to hear this console's unique behavior, coloration, and one-of-a-kind preamp drive. If that's not enough, Waves even modeled the Helios console's VU meter, so it's got the response and look of the original. PIE Compressor Plug-in No studio is complete without a classic compressor rounding out your sound with vintage flavor and body. And with the Waves PIE Compressor plug-in, you don't get just any old compressor; you get an accurate model of one of classic rock's most trusted and venerable tools: the Pye. Waves used their cutting-edge modeling technology to get the PIE Compressor to sound just like the one Kramer used in historic sessions at London's renowned Olympic Studios. This British beast is regarded by many as one of the best buss compressors ever, period. And with the Waves PIE Compressor plug-in, its sweet sonic fingerprint is yours for the taking - complete with a meticulously modeled VU meter that gives you the vibe and behavior of its analog counterpart.

First of all... I have to explain that I docked 1/2 a star only because I think the documentation of these plugs could be a little more in depth. If you are a young person... You might need a little m... read more [+]ore explanation of where to start with these plugs. The HLS Channel is particularly weird and unlike anything you would have seen before. The way it's controls work is bizarre and not at all intuitive (The only reason I could make heads or tales of it is that I messed with one of the Daking consoles at the local community college one time). So... Some more in depth documentation might be helpful.November 16, 2011 Music Background: Producer, Mix Engineer, Occasional Recording Engineer (Mostly retired from that), Professional Musician. In regard to sound... I give this bundle a full 5 stars. I recently used the HLS Channel on a mix project. It was a remake of a 60's Standard by a Houston band. They really wanted to get an authentic "Retro" sound. The HLS Channel did it right away. I mean it was instant. I used it on every stem and it continually imparted just the right amount of 60's butter on everything. I was blown away that it worked just as well on Drums as it did on Vocals... And everything else (Including harmonica). With this bundle... I think you're really paying for the MPX Master Tape Plug. This seems to be the real meat of the bundle to me. It's AWESOME! The cool thing about this plug is that it can do many things. You can use it as a leveling tool or a delay. You can use it to add subtle distortion or full on Fuzz-Ball distortion. You can use it to bring out certain frequencies. And... The list goes on and on. It's great. I've had so much fun with this thing. On top of all else... The sound is spectacular. When I first heard the "Tape Delay" settings... I couldn't believe it. Then I blasted as many drum tracks through it as I could find and was blown away again. This thing is a silver bullet for drums. The Pie Compressor is what it is. It sounds great in it's own way on many things. It's a great compliment to this bundle. This bundle is not essential. It won't make you or break you. However... If you have all the "Must Haves"... This bundle is a great addition to any collection. And... If you're doing Lo-Fi Rock, Punk, Rockabilly, or Honky Tonk stuff... These plugs will serve you well. close [-] Also popular
