Flange It

With Waves MetaFlanger in your toolbox, you can conjure tasty vintage tape flanging and phaser effects. Back in the '60s, flanging - a term often attributed to John Lennon - was produced by inducing slight tape speed variations in one of two tape machines playing back identical material. Flash forward to your modern DAW-based studio. MetaFlanger gives you the warmth of the original analog effect, without the inaccuracy and frustration. You also get exacting control over everything from subtle chorusing and dual-delay flanging to hardcore phasing and radical jet sweeps. Put the frosting on your music, with Waves MetaFlanger.

So, it's loaded with tons of funky sounds and FX but..........it's not the traditional flang effect you would expect from a Boss pedal or some other dedicated stomp box.

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.
