FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Waves Audio expands Immersive Wrapper to support VST3 plugins by diverse brands
Knoxville, TN, September 17, 2025 — Waves Audio, the world’s leading developer of professional audio signal processing technologies and plugins, is proud to announce a major update to its Immersive Wrapper. This innovative tool, which until now enabled any Waves mono-compatible plugin to function as an immersive processor for multichannel and object-based mixing in Dolby Atmos® and other immersive formats, now supports VST3 plugins from a wide range of third-party developers.
With this expanded compatibility, Immersive Wrapper enables audio professionals to seamlessly integrate their favorite VST3 tools, by Waves and other plugin manufacturers, into immersive workflows, unlocking new creative possibilities across music, film, television, and gaming production. Engineers are now empowered to fully leverage their plugin toolbox when crafting an immersive mix.
This tool addresses a longstanding limitation in immersive mixing: facilitating mix-wide bus processing with mono plugins across multichannel and object-based formats like Atmos. Now, users can create immersive bus processing setups in multichannel / object-based mixes using their favorite VST3 mono plugins, 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, addressing a key challenge for immersive mixers who have longed for the ability to shape the overall sound and character of an immersive mix with bus compression, EQ, or saturation just as they are accustomed to applying on a stereo master bus when mixing in two-channel stereo. While the immersive mix is still outputted 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.
Immersive Wrapper features:
- Supports VST3 plugins by Waves + other brands (NEW!)
- Supports all track types, from mono to 7.1.2 to 9.1.6
- Create advanced multi-mono configurations
- Flexible linking and relative parameter control
- Cross-track “Global Group” linking over entire Atmos mix
- Comprehensive shared internal sidechain system
Waves Immersive Wrapper has been added to the Waves Ultimate plugin subscription, which includes the comprehensive Waves plugin catalog (over 240 plugins) as monthly or annual subscriptions. It is also available for purchase (perpetual license) as a single plugin.
