    See.....This is the waves company we all fell in love more than 10 years ago. The waves company that creates TOOLS and not just another eq plugin for the sake of stay relevant. A plugin we all needed, and today is free at same time is more affordable and better than the other one. Isnt an original idea...(we all know the) but you made it better. So for that ... ThankYou.

    i'm so happy this came out. getting my mixes sounding right has been the biggest struggle these past 3-4 years. i've watched hundreds, maybe into the thousands of videos on this and it's just so hit or miss whether the tutorials actually translate well into other songs, styles etc. what works for them usually sounds like total shit on mine and leaves me back at square one. when you guys added the studio verse section with all the pre made chains, that helped so much. they actually work for the most part. they all need tweaking for specific things but it's at least doubled the quality of my music. there's just something about my voice that also has these sharp frequencies (probably something I could also work on with a voice coach) but the plugins now available in the subscription and having complete chains in studio rack helped so much. for the very first time in 4 years i can actually hear my mixes transitioning well with the major league shit on spotify etc. all the options etc. have really improved the smoothness and overall dynamics etc. it feels like there is more space, more detail on everything. the frequencies all have that nice warm and fuzzy but present sound going on with them. it feels like you guys gave me a cheat code lately which i can't say thanks enough for. along with logics new mastering option plus the ozone 11 eq by izotope, i'm finally seeing things evolve in the direction i want. for the longest time i just couldn't figure out wtf was going on why my mixes didn't sound nearly as good as dres, ye's, etc. or why jelly roll, post malone, etc. just sound mixed so perfect in comparison. it's all coming together now.

    Waves is doing a great job responding to the AI trend others advertise. Waves has major chops in UI that free them from competing like for like. Bottom line for us music makers is how easily we can find what is in our imagination. Waves is quite good at that without taking away full control from creators.

    This is the first video about this plugin where the vocal sounded more clear with the plugin on. In other videos, the vocal sounded like it was getting weaker when they turned it on. Maybe it's because you're using the compressor, and it's just a little louder? I don't know. I think I want to be careful with this plugin if I use it. When I hit the 'delta' button, I don't want to hear too much being taken out.

    But what is the algorithm based on? Because without a reference other than just modern day mixes, what is it sourcing its decisions on? Because there’s no side chain involved from the instrumental, or a reference to human hearing and perception.
