FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WAVES INTRODUCES THE MUSICIAN BUNDLE
WAVES LTD, the leading manufacturer of audio DSP processing
software for DAW systems, has introduced an affordable new package aimed
at guitarists, vocalists, and other musicians using native, host-based
systems: The Musician Bundle.
The Musician Bundle comprises five powerful processing
plug-ins that are ideal for adding special character with presence,
punch, and life to the sound of any track. Two plug-ins offer extraordinary
control of dynamics, with intelligent compression, expansion, and gating
capabilities: the Renaissance Axx, as its name suggests, is optimized
for guitar, while the other, Voxx, offers supreme control for vocals.
Axx is ideal for enhancing the presence of a guitar part, whether it’s
a lead solo, rhythm, or powerful bass lines, and offering compression/limiting
and gating/expansion. It’s a unique and powerful tool to bring
the guitar part out in a mix. Meanwhile, the Renaissance Voxx is designed
to be superbly powerful, yet it’s the world’s easiest compressor
to use. Created to enhance and focus vocal clarity while reducing background
noise, the Voxx is ideal for lead vocals — but it’s also
a major asset with radio voiceovers and instrumental leads.
The other plug-ins in the Musician Bundle focus on time
domain effects. The Doubler is a superior automatic double-tracking
device that will make any instrument or vocal larger than life, adding
depth and dimension to the sound. Employing an innovative combination
of delay and pitch modulation, the Waves Doubler creates a whole new
gamut of time-domain doubling effects. The Super Tap features six powerful
multi-tap delays with up to six seconds of mono or stereo delay, EQ-style
filtering, rotation, gain, and precision control of delay times. In
addition, there’s the ability to add modulation and different
feedback modes, along with tempo/tap pattern insertion. Super Tap can
create wild delays, incredible ambient effects, and unique room sounds.
Finally, the MetaFlanger is the ideal and all-encompassing flanger for
the guitarist. It can be used to create gentle choruses, sharp phasing,
tape flanging, and a whole range of dual-delay flanging effects. Filters
allow processing of just a portion of the input, and the phase can be
inverted for even more effects. Plus, perhaps most exciting of all,
the MetaFlanger includes factory presets of emulations of nearly every
vintage phaser/flanger that has ever existed.
A 14-day free demo of the Musician Bundle is available
from authorized Waves dealers or from www.waves.com. The Musician Bundle
ships in January 2004 and carries an MSRP of $199. It is available for
native systems via RTAS, AudioSuite, VST, DirectX (Win), and MAS (Mac).
