Reviews

The Platinum Standard of Plugins
For decades waves has always been at the forefront of audio plugins ingenuity. Their products live on all of our post production sessions. The simplicity of use also allows for a faster more efficient workflow saving us time and money everyday. In the world of network television their audio restoration products have replaced more expensive/slower plugins we use to get the best sound on the air fast.

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.
