Waves Native Masters Bundle

WAVES LTD, a leading supplier of audio signal processing solutions for the professional audio and multimedia markets, announced several new tools for precision mastering applications. These include innovative linear phase equalization and multiband processing which result in absolutely no phase distortion created by previous software and hardware tools. The sound is more transparent with better musical balance. These processors, along with the award-winning L2 Ultramaximizer, are now offered in the new Waves Native Masters Bundle.

Audio mastering professionals are continually looking for methods to deliver more pristine audio quality in their recordings. In direct response to their demands to eliminate phase distortions from their work, Waves has developed Waves Native Masters Bundle's Linear Phase Equalizer and Linear Phase Multiband. The Linear Phase Equalizer utilizes an innovative FIR (Finite Impluse Response) filter implementation that introduces no phase distortions. This innovative design also overcomes the variable latency of traditional IIR (Infinite Impluse Response) filter implementation that add phase distortions, while offering a user-friendly tool with a user interface similar to Waves popular Renaissance Equalizer. The Linear Phase Multiband supports independent gain and dynamics (compression, EQ, and limiting) on five user defined frequency ranges, while adding linear phase crossovers. The Linear Phase Multiband extends Waves award-winning C4 Multiband Parametric Processor to an even higher quality standard for purist mastering on full range mixes. In addition, Waves award winning limiter, the L2 Ultramaximizer is included in Waves Native Masters Bundle. The L2 adds ARC™ (Automatic Release Control) to provide extra gain during mixing. "For the past 10 years, Waves has prided itself on the ability to provide the mastering community with tools producing better sound with an intuitive user interface," stated Gilad Keren, CEO of Waves Ltd. "Our Master bundle sets a new standard for mastering applications with higher sonic capability plus a greater degree of functionality. We're confident that audio mastering professionals will be surprised at the dramatic quality improvement offered by Waves Native Masters Bundle."

The next level in quality for precision mastering. Innovative linear phase EQ and Multiband introduce no phase distortions. Waves Native Masters Bundle Also includes the Award Winning L2 Limiter, now in Native.
