In Honor of Its 25th Anniversary, Waves Offers Revamped and Reskinned
Versions of Three of Its Classic Plugins: the Q10, AudioTrack and the L1
The NAMM Show, Anaheim, California, January 25, 2018— In honor of its 25th Anniversary, Waves Audio, a leading provider of digital signal processing solutions and digital music production tools, is offering revamped and reskinned versions of three of its classic plugins: the Q10 Equalizer, the AudioTrack channel strip plugin and the L1 Ultramaximizer level maximizer/peak limiter. These revamped 25th Anniversary editions include new plugin features, as well as a choice between two graphic user interfaces – the classic “Legacy” interface, and the new “Modern” interface created especially for the 25th Anniversary celebrations.
Q10 Equalizer
The first plugin by Waves, the Q10, is a multiband paragraphic EQ with up to 10 bands of precision equalization for mixing and mastering. It is a go-to tool for both surgical repair and gentle coloring.
New 25th anniversary features include:
- Proportional Q filters: When selected, Q value is proportional to gain adjustment. As a band’s gain increases, Q value increases and the filter narrows.
- Selectable band control: Choose between viewing all parametric band controls in one view or focusing on a selected channel. Both views show the complete graphic display.
- Double Precision control: Lets you choose between 32-bit floating point processing and double-precision 64-bit processing.
AudioTrack
CPU-light with pristine sound quality and serving the needs of a full channel strip within a single interface, Audio Track offers the most efficient way to mix your tracks. It includes three processors – EQ, compression and gating – in one easy-to-use plugin.
New 25th anniversary features include:
- Focused EQ band display: Lets you view only the selected band’s parametric controls, to let you quickly understand and control band values
- Separate meters for Comp and Gate gain reduction: For greater clarity and focus
- Double Precision: AudioTrack now executes 32-bit floating-point processing at 64 bits
L1 Ultramaximizer
A must-have plugin for mastering, the L1 is the first software unit to offer a brick wall limiter. With only two major controls, quick and simple to use, the L1 is an advanced-level maximizer, look-ahead peak limiter and high-resolution re-quantizer – a powerful industry-standard all-in-one plugin for mastering and mixing.
New 25th anniversary features include:
- True Peak domain setting: Eliminates inter-sample clipping
- Automatic Release Control: Automatically adjusts release time
