This is bad news, as everybody knows that Waves is one of the leading developer in this area.Ī nice idea came to our mind - to create a sort of cheat sheet, a text where each plugin is described in short. And it is pretty sad, because it leads you to use Waves products less, not realizing its true worth. However, the list is so vast that you can drown in it it is really hard to remember each plugin. Sometimes you may find out the real purpose (and surely the proper use) of the plugin only after reading a reference guide. It is obvious that after a full pack installation you should go through all the plugins in order to get acquainted with them and try to remember their purpose, so that during your work it would be possible to find a needed device quickly. But still there are some units with titles that reflect the common idea of a plugin: H-EQ, RDeEsser, S1 Imager, SSLComp, MaxxBass.

And it is not always clear from the titles, what each plugin is for.įor example, there are abbreviations like IR1, J37, MV2, NS1, W43 more readable names but they don’t reflect the sense: Saphira, Enigma, Vitamin, Renaissance Axx, MondoMod, also there are vintage equipment emulations, and their titles partly coincide with the originals, but if a user is not familiar with this hardware, he or she is unable to recognize them: CLA-76, PuigTech 670, API-2500, dbx-160. When you install the full pack, a DAW displays a long list of units. Since than the company designed a huge amount of plugins and doesn’t seem to show any signs of stopping! Audio software developer Waves has been bringing delight to sound engineers and producers all over the world for about 25 years! The very first product, Q10, was released in 1992.
