![]() ![]() The track also required some compression. I'm not saying it sounded exactly like a Pultec, but it gave me the flavor that I needed for that track. I used four resonant bands to simultaneously cut and boost both the lows and the highs. Out came TrackPlug for the processed vocal tracks. Pultecs that run on my UAD-1 card (due to high latency). For example, while mixing Geoff Farina's new album on my Pro Tools HD rig, our plug-in choices prevented us from using the With so many combinations of filter types possible, it's possible to create EQ responses with vastly different characters-even ones that are similar to what you'd get with other EQs in your arsenal. The EQ has ten fully-overlappable bands, each assignable to one of eleven different types, including parametric, shelf, vintage shelf, notch, bandpass, and resonant shelf. TrackPlug is a comprehensive plug-in that includes almost everything you'd want in a channel strip: EQ, brickwall high/low-pass filters, gate, two compressors, look-ahead brickwall limiter, metering, and even a 33-band Real-Time Analyzer that's overlaid on top of the EQ curve. While you're at it, download the fully-functional demo (30-day time-limited), because it's impossible for me to explain all the capabilities of these plug-ins in this review. I highly recommend downloading the manual. ![]() For example, there are five pages dedicated to dynamics processing, and even if you've never used a compressor before, you'll soon understand how to use attack and release settings to get the drum sound you want. Not only does it describe all the features, but it also explains how, when, and why to use the features. And speaking of the user-manual, it's one of the best I've read. Even the user manual starts off by detailing how each control type can be tweaked. Instead of presenting its users with fake brushed-aluminum panels and hard-to-read LED-like displays, Wave Arts concentrated on developing a family of highly-usable controls and very informative indicators that are employed consistently across all its plug-ins. The user-interface is the best I've seen. My original plan was to discuss all five in one review, but I realized that a full review would require way too many pages! So instead, I'll focus on TrackPlug and MultiDynamics for this issue, and cover the other plug-ins in a future installment.įirst of all, let me say that I'm incredibly impressed with the usability of these plug-ins. The Wave Arts Power Suite includes five fantastic plug-ins: TrackPlug, MultiDynamics, MasterVerb, Panorama, and FinalPlug. AAX - Pro Tools 10.3.5 and higher.In last issue's "Gear Geeking" column, I mentioned how producer and Tape Op contributor Thom Monahan (Devendra, Vetiver, The Pernice Brothers, The Capital Years, etc.) turned me on to the plug-ins developed by Wave Arts, an acoustics and audio technology company founded by a fellow graduate of the MIT Media Lab. The ultimate channel strip plug-in, TrackPlug is an all-in-one processor with EQ, spectrum analysis, multi-mode compressors and gate, peak limiter, and more.Ĭreate the perfect ambience with MasterVerb, a flexible, great sounding, and CPU efficient reverb. MultiDynamics is a powerful multi-band dynamics processor with an elegant interface.Ĭreate stunning 3-D effects over conventional stereo with sophisticated HRTF, crosstalk cancelling and room modeling DSP technology.įinalPlug provides peak limiting and volume maximizing as well as comprehensive dithering options to make this plug-in specially suited for mastering a final mix. Power Suite 6 features compatibility with MacOS 12 Monterey, native support for Apple Silicon (AU and VST3 formats), scalable user interfaces, serial number or iLok licensing, built-in preset management. MultiDynamics: multi-band dynamics control MasterVerb: silky smooth multi-algorithm reverbįinalPlug: peak limiter and volume maximizer TrackPlug: the ultimate channel strip plug-in Power Suite 6 consists of the following plug-ins: Power Suite 6 plug-ins run within most MacOS (AU/VST3/AAX) or Windows (VST3/AAX) based music production or audio editing application. Covering the essential aspects of sound design, our critically acclaimed audio plug-ins feature outstanding sound quality, exceptional CPU efficiency, stunning visual interface design, world class customer support, and tremendous value for the money. ![]()
