The latest iteration of Waves plug-ins, Waves V15 brings the company’s AI and latest audio technologies to the Waves plug-in platform.
Waves V15 promises ‘more power’ to all users’ current collection of plug-ins, with new features enhancing the Waves catalogue – including new Midi mapping, a new parameter locking feature, additional new features in specific plug-ins, many plug-ins added to major bundles, and an improved version of StudioVerse.
The new StudioVerse, including StudioVerse Instruments, is a ‘significantly enhanced’ version of the world’s largest online preset library of audio and instrument chains. This adds instrument chains to StudioVerse via the new plug-in, StudioVerse Instruments. The StudioVerse Audio Effects plug-in (a renamed, redesigned and enhanced version of Waves StudioRack) delivers enhanced functionality, with an upgraded UI and improved features – all integrated within a users’ DAW. StudioVerse Audio Effects is fully backward compatible with older StudioRack presets and sessions.
V15 adds new Midi mapping capabilities to almost all Waves plug-ins, allowing mapping, saving and recall of multiple Midi controller settings. It is now possible to recall the Midi map for a 25 key controller, and then revert to 88 keys when required using the corresponding Midi map.
With new parameter locking, V15 adds parameter locking to 62 Waves plug-ins, for easy comparison between presets. New features in specific plug-ins include a sidechain filter for the SSL G-Master Bus Compressor, and a new Dual mode for the H-Delay. V15 also includes higher-resolution HiDPI GUI updates on assorted plug-ins, as well as core stability improvements.
By updating to V15, users will have access to several recently released plug-ins added to Waves’ Mercury, Horizon, Diamond, Platinum and Gold bundles. Updating also ensures that Waves plug-ins users are compatible with the latest DAW and OS requirements. Subscribers to Waves Creative Access plug-in subscriptions receive all V15 updates at no additional cost. Owners of perpetual licenses need an active Waves Update Plan for their plug-ins or bundles in order to update.
‘With new AI tools, extra plug-ins and added features to Waves’ existing catalogue, users can trust a mix opened in ten years’ time, that will open and run smoothly and sound just as it did on the day you mixed it,’ the company assures. ‘V15 provides and enriches your workflow with more Waves plug-ins to fuel your sound and inspiration.’
