WAVES LIVE DIVISION EXPANDS PLUG-IN OFFERINGS
FOR USE WITH THE DIGIDESIGN® VENUE/D-SHOW
—VENUE/D-Show compatibility for Waves Hybrid and PuigChild plug-ins
further emphasizes Waves Live Division’s dedicated offerings for
the live sound market sectors —
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, July 9, 2009 — Following
closely on the announcement earlier this year that more than 50 of Waves’
most popular plug-ins are now compatible for use with Digidesign®
D-Show Software and VENUE consoles, Waves Live Division announces VENUE
Compatibility for its successful Hybrid Line (H-Comp Hybrid Compressor
and H-Delay Hybrid Delay) and PuigChild Compressor/Limiter. Users now
have the benefit of being able to use these invaluable studio tools
in live sound applications. These TDM plug-ins can run on Digidesign
VENUE consoles using the Waves D-Show Enabler. Current Waves TDM users
can purchase the D-Show Enabler, making their Waves products fully VENUE-compatible.
Waves Hybrid Line
Drawing on the technical breakthroughs of their award-winning console/processor
models (SSL 4000 Collection, V-Series, The API Collection, The JJP Collection),
Waves has created a series of plug-ins that blends the best of yesterday’s
sound with today’s technology. The Hybrid Line offers the color
and character of classic analog hardware processors with the features
and flexibility of Waves digital plug-ins. The first two products in
the Waves Hybrid Line are the H-Comp Hybrid Compressor and the H-Delay
Hybrid Delay. H-Comp is a brand new dynamics processor that combines
the modeled behavior of transformers, tubes, and transistors with the
power and precision provided only by modern-day plug-ins. From slap-back
echo, ping-pong delay and tempo-sync with modulation, to filtering,
flanging, phasing and more, H-Delay delivers real vintage as well as
PCM42-style effects, controlled by a super-intuitive interface.
The PuigChild 660 & 670 Compressor/Limiter
Part of the Waves Jack Joseph Puig Collection, the PuigChild 660 &
670 Compressor/Limiter was created by Waves in close partnership with
multiple GRAMMY®-winning producer/mixer Jack Joseph Puig. Throughout
the vinyl era, the original Fairchild stereo 670 compressor and its
mono counterpart, the 660, were used on dozens of classic records. From
the recording studio to the record lathe, the Fairchild was renowned
for its advanced compression techniques and incomparable sound. With
the PuigChild Compressor/Limiter, Waves has captured every distinctive
nuance of Jack Joseph Puig’s personal vintage Fairchild 670, along
with every detail of its rich harmonic complexity.
The introduction of new VENUE compatibility for these
key plug-ins comes during a flurry of activity for the Waves Live Division.
After years of creating hardware and software tools that have become
a staple of the modern recording studio, and in the process bringing
to market a number of products that have become indispensable components
of the live sound signal chain, earlier this year Waves Audio announced
the formation of Waves Live Division, a dedicated branch addressing
the needs of the live sound market sector. With that announcement came
the unveiling of a new website, www.waveslive.com,
as well as the first round of D-Show/VENUE live capability for Waves
plug-ins. Since then, the Division has been continuing to develop new
software for live sound, with an in-depth focus on innovative, market-driven
product. Additionally, several high-profile Waves Live users have come
forward to praise the product line, including “Big Mick”
Hughes (FOH for Metallica), Ken “Pooch” Van Druten (FOH
for Linkin Park, System of a Down), prominent A/V contactor Clair Brothers
and many more.
Asher Bitansky, Waves Director of Business Development
and a key supervisor of the Live Division, stated, “Waves Live
Division is dedicated to providing performers and live sound engineers
the same high-quality processing tools found in Waves’ studio
bundles. The PuigChild and the Hybrid Line have proven very successful
plug-ins for a wide variety of studio users, and represent the ongoing
commitment by Waves to create tools enabling new levels of creativity
and control to the Live sound mixer.”
