Kiss that Cold Digital Sound Goodbye!
Looking for a great way to add analog warmth to your DAW... without buying a ton of expensive analog gear? Here you go! Check out the Waves NLS non-linear summer, the analog-style summing plug-in you've been dreaming of. Not just any summing either - NLS gives you the epic sound of three legendary mixing consoles from some of the best studios in the world, run by some of the best engineers out there. You're going to flip when you hear the sound of this amazing mixing tool!Here's how it works. The NLS suite is actually a collection of plug-ins representing three amazing recording consoles: Spike Stent's (Bjork, Maroon 5, Madonna) magical SSL 4000 G, Mike Hedges's (The Cure, Dido, U2) unique EMI TG12345 Mk IV (the same one used on Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon), and Yoad Nevo's (Bryan Adams, Pet Shop Boys, The Dandy Warhols) customized Neve 5116. Not only do you get three amazing summing buss model plug-ins, you also get over 100 individually modeled channel plug-ins. Why so many individual channel plug-ins? It's simple. Waves figured out that the warmth and sonic depth of real analog consoles is largely the result of all of those imperfectly matched, slightly dissimilar channels interacting with one another. That's why they went ahead and modeled nearly every channel of each of the consoles in the NLS plug-in, including its own unique noise.
There's more to the NLS plug-is suite than just circuitry modeling, however. Unlike most plug-ins out there, which each act as completely independent subprograms within you DAW, the entire NLS system is interactive. For instance, you can subgroup each channel plug-in into one of eight VCA groups, which you can control from your buss plug-in. Not only does this add another interactive element to the NLS system, it also lets you combine channel models from all three consoles into a single summing system. How cool is that!? Top that off with drive, trim, and other sound-shaping tools, and you'll discover a whole world of tone tweaking when you add Waves' amazing NLS non-linear summing system to you DAW.
