Opto-compression-mode — emulates opto-coupled hardware compressors

Ideal for mastering or submix compression

Electro compression-mode — allows deep compression by increasing release times at high attenuation levels

Ideal for in-your-face vocal or instrument processing!

No-clip 'brick-wall' internal limiter — add up to 6dB or more to the output, maximizing levels with minimum distortion

Warm character setting — add low frequency harmonics while approaching deeper compression to produce a warm, rich sound

ARC (Automatic Release Control) technology delivers greater RMS levels

Comprehensive factory presets

Renaissance Equalizer
Vintage EQ for rich, clear equalization. Double precision resolution (TDM only) and 88.2/96kHz-ready (Native only).

Check out the Michael Gerzon and Baxandall filter-curves that emulate the warm sounds of analog vintage-style EQ filters. If you have a slightly dull or flat track, during final mastering you can tweak the edges and really breathe some life into it. Waves' innovative standard functions allow simultaneous multi-parameter adjustment, so if you design a filter-curve that you like, you can select all bands and adjust them all together while maintaining the curve.

Attention native users! The new REQ provides warm and clear vintage-style EQ on native PC and Macintosh applications. It includes real-time graphing, preview, bypass functions and all with just a few intuitive clicks. Slick controls and great classic-style EQ sound make REQ the equalizer your audio deserves! All REQ functions can be performed using your computer's CPU power, i.e. no extra hardware is required!
