Renaissance Reverberator
Classic sound and controls for the demands of everyday production, the new reverb is just the new flavor you're looking for! Designed to be musical, not technical, Renaissance processors have clean and simple interfaces that are ultra functional with minimal clutter. The Renaissance Reverberator is the newest addition to the series, and is as easy to use as any classic processor with just a few straightforward controls and simple interfaces. It features rich reverb tails, plus a second generation early reflection system, providing density and texture.

Exceptional compressor with Opto and Electro modes, plus ARC auto-release, and L1 style limiter on output. Now 56-bit precision, dithered to 24-bit output for TDM!

Features
56-bit precision dithered to 24-bit output for TDM

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!
