Software Compatibility

Most software is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers, but check to make sure.

If you're using Pro Tools, AAX plug-ins (or RTAS for older versions) are what you need. Most other Mac DAWs support AU plug-ins. VST is compatible with a number of Mac and Windows programs. Be sure you choose plug-ins that work with your DAW!

Hit the Tonal Sweet Spot Instantly

Drums, line-in instruments, vocals: it doesn’t matter — Sweetwater producers have found that Wave’s Magma Tube Channel Strip can add an attractive tube glow to any sound. Its 3-band EQ offers your standard tonal controls, but with a twist: a midrange frequency band parameter, which achieves massive audial changes with lightning-fast speed. Below your EQ lies Magma Tube’s dynamics engine, featuring both gate and compression control with two variable flavors that work well with plug-in instruments, line-in audio, drum tracks, and more. With this impressive control bay, developing sounds from a silky high-end snare to a heavy vocal chorus is possible in minutes. Still not fast enough? No worries: a collection of over 450 artist-designed presets will ensure you’re adding studio-grade dimension to your audio in a single click.

Note: iLok is not required for use of the Magma Tube Channel Strip plug-in. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have any questions.

Since the early days of DAW software, Waves has been a dominating force in music and audio production. For those of us here at Sweetwater who've been recording since the industry switched over to computer-based studios, it's impossible to imagine sessions without L series Ultramaximizers, MaxxBass, and other staples. Since then, we've been impressed every time Waves has brought top producers such as Jack Joseph Puig and Chris Lord-Alge to Sweetwater to show off their next cutting-edge creations, and Waves is constantly adding new and innovative plug-ins to their catalog. And with cool new gear such as their SoundGrid series, Sweetwater engineers have discovered just how easy it is to use Waves plug-ins live.
