Quality
WAVES !!!!! ... What is there more to say? WAVES Plug-Ins Simply Changed my life!!
I could never get to that amazing sonic quality which you get from Proffessional CD's, Movies, Radio etc'. It was so frustrating to me that I simply couldn't get to that sound quality where every element is clear & every nothing sounds "Muddy" or distorted, and my final mix would have a low level volume even though I set it so high that it almost clips!
In the last year I've ben involved with all these greatest Composers & Producers as David Foster, Hans Zimmer, and the cream of L.A's Top Studios.
Suddenly, I realized that they used only WAVES Plug-ins and almost nothing else.
Anyway, I bought the WAVES DIAMOND BUNDLE & WAVES GTR & 2 APA DSP Units, First I got the APA 32 and then the APA 44 and.......
MY LIFE HAS CHANGED FOREVER!!!! I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY MY &250,000 DOLLARS STUDIO NEVER SOUNDED AS THE PRO STUDIOS! WHEN I STARTED USING WAVES PLUG-INS SUDDENLY THE SONIC QUALITY WAS JUST AS IF MY STUDIO WAS REBORN!
WAVES IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! IF I COULD HAVE STARTED MY STUDIO BUILD-UP AGAIN, WAVES WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 1ST ON MY SHOPPING LIST AFTER A DECENT DAW, A COMPUTER, A GOOD SOFTWARE SAMPLER AND A FEW GOOD SAMPLE LIBRARIES.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SAVE YOUR SELF AND LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE.
"WAAVES" IS THE SECRET OF THE PRO'S. NOW BECAUSE IT IS MORE EXPENSIVE IT KEEPS THE "ALMOST PRO PROJECT STUDIOS" FROM GETTING IT. BUT THINK FOR A MOMENT: THIS INVESTMENT WILL SAVE YOU SO MUCH MONEY ON ALL THE STUFF YOU THINK YOU NEED TO HAVE TO GET TO THAT SOUND...- BUT YOU ARE WAISTING YOUR MONEY AND TIME!!!
HOW DO YOU THINK THE PRO'S GET THAT CRISP CLEAR SOUND? OR THE TIGHT BASS? OR THE PERFECT VOCAL TRACK!
BELIEVE ME IT'S NOT THE MIC, THE PRE-AMP OR THE 192KHZ SAMPLE RATE! ALL THESE INVESTMENTS ARE USELESS IF YOU CAN NOT PROCCESS THE VOCAL TO MAKE IT LIKE YOU HAVE HEARD AN ANGEL SINGING...! IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT PERFECT WAVES COMPRESSION, THAT SEXY WAVES EQ NOTCH, THE PERFECT WAVES REVERB, THE PUNCHY LOW END THAT WILL MAKE A SMALL TV SOUND LIKE A 20" INCH SUB WHOOFFER IS UNDER IT. THEY SIMPLY HAVE SONIC TRICKS TO MAKE A 16BIT CD SOUND BETTER THAN A 24bit OR EVEN 48bit resolution!!!
Why do you think that just a few years ago studios would pay over $150,000 into buying pro-tools? It's just so they could run WAVES Plug-Ins on multiple tracks at once where each track has at least 4-5 WAVES INSERTS. But today you don't need Pro-Tools TDM DSP Cards- WAVES HAS JUST RELEASED THE MOST POWERFUL DSP PROCCESOR, and you can stack 8 of them simultaniously! Thats five times the power which a $150,000 pro-tools HD gives you! S EQ, Compress, Expand, Double, Emulate any hall in the world, and give a seperate reverb to every channel !!!! every channel !!!.... Did you hear what I Just said? Well, what are you waiting for? I accualy regret writting this and exposing all musicians to our "SECRETS of success" Well, so as I said, the 'Secret' has a name: "WAVES" .
