Waves Audio has announced updates to its Cloud MX Audio Mixer Premium subscription, which combines the Cloud MX cloud-based broadcast audio mixer, with more than 150 audio processors. The update also adds Waves Stream to the plug-ins included in Cloud MX Premium, which offers remote audio monitoring capabilities and single-click sharing of audio directly to mobile devices or DAWs over WAN.
Also in this new update are two further plug-ins, Waves Silk Vocal and Magma Tube Channel Strip.
Waves’ Cloud MX is a cloud-based audio mixer, designed for modern broadcast environments. It delivers high-precision mix control and creative processing capabilities, with full integration of Waves’ catalogue of audio plug-ins in a scalable, remotely operated, broadcast-ready cloud workflow. This minimises the need for on-premises resources and making broadcasting more accessible and economical for various entities.
Cloud MX, offersbroadcasters and media networks an intuitive UI, and enhanced cloud-based workflows.
Powered by a cloud-based version of Waves’ double-precision, 32-bit floating-point eMotion LV1 mix engine, Cloud MX integrates with Waves plug-ins for audio processing in the cloud. It is compatible with major cloud platforms and protocols, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Dante Connect. Cloud MX also integrates with Grass Valley AMPP for cloud-based live broadcast production and is NDI-compatible for easy routing of NDI audio for all ingress/egress streams.
The main addition to Cloud MX Premium, Waves Stream, is a plug-in and web service designed to make high-quality audio sharing a smooth part of the collaborative creative process. With its quick-response, it is an efficient and versatile solution for audio distribution over the internet, and can be instantiated on any channel or bus within the Cloud MX mixer, as well as integrating with a mobile web browser or end-user’s preferred DAW. Complementing systems like Dante or NDI, Waves Stream integrates smoothly into existing workflows and offers immediate and direct monitoring capabilities for key personnel, whether for technical check-ups or routine monitoring when away from the mixer.
Leveraging a peer-to-peer WebRTC connection for low latency, Waves Stream guarantees efficient mono or stereo audio transmission. By scanning a QR code or using a dedicated URL with password protection, remote collaborators can receive audio directly and securely in a web browser on a mobile device or computer.
The additional plug-ins are Waves Silk Vocal, a smart EQ and dynamics processor, and Waves Magma Tube Channel Strip, which covers most crucial mixing needs: compression/gating, EQ and saturation.
