Waves V17 review, should you upgrade for the new preset browser, StudioVerse Mix Unlock, and the latest live and studio workflow changes?
In this video, we take a practical look at Waves V17 StudioVerse Mix Unlock.
V17 brings a redesigned preset management system across the Waves plugin range, with improved browsing, search, favourites, and organisation for faster access to the sounds and starting points you use most.
Also new are the refreshed MondoMod interface and the linked I/O controls in CLA MixDown. For live sound users, V17 adds real-time analyser support for Renaissance EQ and eMo Q4 inside eMotion LV1 and SuperRack, plus updates to Waves PSE, F6, and Q10 that are aimed at faster control in live environments.
The biggest new feature for many users is StudioVerse Mix Unlock. This premium StudioVerse feature separates finished stereo audio into vocals, drums, bass, and instruments in real time inside the DAW, allowing those elements to be adjusted, processed, or transformed using StudioVerse preset chains and Waves plugins.
