Waves NX

[Dave2002]

I wonder if anyone here has tried Waves Nx, which is supposed to help with creating a "final" product with spatial characteristics, but monitoring over headphones. Seems really intended for producers who are mixing together a whole bunch of different channels, The demos sound quite good, but maybe one might expect them to - the vendors will naturally tout these as the best thing since Wonderloaf.

Waves plugins are quite good
I don't use them myself but I know others who are keen.

Lots of other options about as well

The demo tracks seem quite good, and it's possible to turn the Nx feature on/off for comparisons. It's definitely (IMO) more comfortable with headphones to have the Nx turned on, though some might find it too "subtle". It's not intended for loudspeaker listening but supposedly one can mix with headphones, and then the results can be played in stereo or surround over a speaker system - or presumably one can have a version for headphone listening

For examples load up https://www.waves.com/nx/player then select an option - such as Various, which leads to Classical, Jazz etc.

There's an 'Nx On' toggle button down on the RHS.

What other options do you know about or recommend?

Thanks - will investigate some or all of those. I have a bit of a backlog of things to check out, but I am making progress.

Ooo, thanks. Will investigate. You would come up with something like that just when I was going to get around to installing my new active monitor speakers. Might put that on hold for the moment (saves me having to reorganise my editing room - or spare bedroom as it is otherwise known).

What price would you suggest for someone living on a slightly enhanced deferred State Pension with no rent to pay?

I currently have no income at all
BUT as an investment in the future of something wonderful sent £10
hoping that I might make some £ in the next few months

Though there are some equally wonderful things elsewhere on the label site

[Dave2002]

Indeed, but I was expecting others might find that for themselves.
