Waves V-Series
With three state-of-the-art vintage modeled plugins, V-Series brings the big budget sound of the world's most exclusive recording studios to your DAW.
Based on the timeless 1066/1073/1081 mic pre/EQs and 2254 compressor, these plugins capture their sonic behavior, analog character, and ability to “push” audio Transformers hard—a crucial contributor to the big, Warm, yet defined sounds that shaped generations of popular music.
The lasting popularity of these processors is no accident: the design choices prioritized musicality above all. And now, these rich, inviting colors can grace studios into the next half-century.
Ideal for Shaping Midrange Tone
The V-EQ3 captures the fat sounds of the 70s with detailed midrange and body, high-end sparkle, and the subtle Transformer distortion characteristics of the acclaimed 1066/1073 Neve preamps.
The Transition to Precision
The V-EQ4 took equalization to the next level, by increasing filter types, frequencies, and resonance options. Based on the 1081, the V-EQ4 embodies the transition between vintage sound and precise, sophisticated control.
Fat Compression, Legendary Limiting
V-Comp models the 2254’s diode-bridge gain technology and triple-Transformer design—the secret behind many Warm bus compressor and limiter sounds of the 60s and 70s. Four analog characters cover variations among models.
“In the Box” Analog Mixing
Insert a V-series processor as the last effect in every track, zero out EQ or compression, and click the Analog button—you’ll hear the sound of analog mixing’s wider soundstage, with the forward midrange of Transformer emulation.
Work with Speed and Efficiency
Enjoy the vintage workflow, too. With control settings and parameters designed specifically to hit musical “sweet spots,” dialing in the right sounds on the V-EQ3 and V-EQ4 is surprisingly effortless.
