Waves Audio has announce a major update to its Immersive Wrapper.
Previously, this has enabled any Waves mono-compatible plug-in to function as an immersive processor for multichannel and object-based mixing in Dolby Atmos and other immersive formats, but now also supports VST3 plug-ins from a wide range of third-party developers.
With this expanded compatibility, Immersive Wrapper enables audio professionals to integrate VST3 tools from Waves and other plug-in manufacturers into immersive workflows for work across music, film, television and gaming audio production. Engineers are now able to fully leverage their plug-in toolbox when crafting an immersive mix.
This tool addresses a longstanding limitation in immersive mixing: facilitating mix-wide bus processing with mono plug-ins across multichannel and object-based formats such as Atmos. Now, users can create immersive bus processing set-ups in multichannel/object-based mixes using VST3 mono plug-ins of their choosing, complete with a shared internal sidechain system for mix-wide dynamics processing.
Waves Immersive Wrapper brings the benefits of dedicated bus processing to Atmos mixes – a key challenge for immersive mixers wanting to shape the overall sound and character of an immersive mix with bus compression, EQ or saturation as they are accustomed to applying on a stereo master bus when mixing in two-channel stereo. While the immersive mix is still output to the renderer as separate beds and objects, it works in a control-linked multi-mono configuration to deliver output channel cohesion and a unified feel to mixes from mono up to 9.1.6 channel configurations.
Key features:
- Brand agnostic VST3 plug-in support.
- Supports all track types, from mono to 7.1.2 to 9.1.6s
- Create advanced multi-mono configurationss
- Flexible linking and relative parameter controls
- Global Group linking over Atmos mix.
- Comprehensive shared internal sidechain system.
Waves Immersive Wrapper has been added to the Waves Ultimate plug-in subscription, which includes the Waves plug-in catalogue as monthly or annual subscriptions. It is also available for purchase (perpetual licence) as a single plug-in.
