From Our Research Team:Get Rich Analog-style Summing - in the Box!Capturing the sound of three legendary consoles, Waves' NLS non-linear summing plug-in lets you easily and effectively add warmth, depth, and dimension to your DAW. This single amazing plug-in gives you the spot-on sound of three world-famous consoles. Inside NLS, you'll find Spike Stent's magical SSL 4000 G, Mike Hedges's unique EMI TG12345 Mk IV (the same one used on Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon), and Yoad Nevo's customized Neve 5116. Complete with over 100 individual channel models and three exquisitely detailed buss models, Waves' NLS non-linear summing plug-in makes adding color, character, and polish to your tracks easy.Waves NLS Non-linear Summer Console Modeling Plug-in Suite at a Glance:
Console modeling designed in cooperation with three world-class engineers To start their NLS non-linear summer plug-in off on the right foot, Waves got together with three of the world's top recording engineers/producers, each with his own unique and phenomenal-sounding recording console. These engineers include Spike Stent (Bjork, Maroon 5, Madonna), Mike Hedges (The Cure, Dido, U2), and Yoad Nevo (Bryan Adams, Pet Shop Boys, The Dandy Warhols). Working channel by channel, these engineers helped to ensure that each of NLS's models came out as accurate as possible. The results are absolutely astounding! Over 100 individual channels modeled across three amazing consoles The key concept behind Waves' NLS non-linear summer plug-in is that the warmth and dimensional sound of these remarkable consoles is the result of many individual channels (each with their own unique sound) interacting together. So, instead of modeling just a single idealized channel from each console, Waves modeled dozens of them. Not only does NLS allow you to recreate the same dynamic interaction between each channel as you'd get if you were using the original analog console, it also lets you create completely unique overall sounds by combining channels from multiple consoles. What's more, Waves also modeled each channel's self noise independently from its frequency response, giving you the option whether or not to include this realistic sonic element in your mix. Two plug-in components give you excellent sound-shaping options In addition to individual channels, the Waves NLS non-linear summer also includes a summing buss amplifier model plug-in for each console, which acts as a master control for each of the channel plug-ins. Together, these two plug-in types give you a ton of control over your sound. For instance, you can group multiple channel plug-ins (including channels from multiple console models) into eight VCA groups, which you can mix from the buss plug-in. Individual and buss drive controls let you add saturation to your sound, and each channel plug-in gives you a mic switch, which lets you add in the grit and harmonics from the consoles' preamp sections. However you use Waves NLS non-linear summer, we're sure you'll love the results you'll get. Waves NLS Non-linear Summer Console Modeling Plug-in Suite Features:

The Waves NLS just is what it is. September 13, 2012 Music Background: Music Producer, Pro Musician, Recording/Mix Engineer Pros: -both Channel and Buss instances available -channel and buss instances "speak" to each other- (the ability to control individual instances... read more [+] from the group bus) -3 console options: SSL, TG/EMI, Neve -each "console" offers 32 DIFFERENT channels! (Yes all 96 actually sound different; some in dramatic ways- works well for Non-Linearity treatment of a real console. We're talking saturation here. -The "Mic" option is like a bonus to -get some real crunch! -"Drive" knobs to have it your way.. Cons: -No input control (need to have a gain stage control before the plugin if you need to change the amount of level going in) -You will feel the CPU crunch if you don't have reasonable resources- CPU wise. This is definitely worth the buy. Subtle and professional with its proper use generally. close [-] Also popular
