Waves NLS Non-Linear Summer
Analog Console Plugin
Mix with the Color of Three Classic Analog Consoles
Analog consoles are known for richness, depth, and harmonic complexity - not because they’re perfect, but because they aren't.
This is why pro engineers revere how analog summing colors audio.
And now, Waves has spared no effort to capture the sound of 3 superlative analog consoles.
Whether you prefer the solid-state console that launched thousands of hits, the tone of vintage British tubes, or even the console used to record The Dark Side of the Moon - NLS brings them to your DAW, modeled from the consoles of master mixers and producers Mark "Spike" Stent (Paul McCartney), Mike Hedges (The Cure), and Yoad Nevo (Sia).
