FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Now shipping: the latest update of Waves V15 plugins, featuring new plugin designs
Knoxville, TN, December 16, 2024 — Waves Audio, the world’s leading developer of professional audio signal processing technologies and plugins, announces the latest round of updates for Waves V15 plugins. This comprehensive update enhances the Waves catalog with performance improvements and optimized functionality across the board, while also introducing new, modernized interfaces for three classic Waves plugins: Doubler, SuperTap, and Enigma.
With a brand new look streamlined for today’s workflows, Doubler, SuperTap, and Enigma now offer enhanced user experiences. Doubler’s updated design makes the process of thickening voices and enriching mixes more intuitive, while SuperTap’s refreshed interface simplifies the user experience when creating spacey echoes and complex delays. Enigma’s redesigned layout improves usability for crafting a wide range of effects, from flanging to resonant reverbs. These enhancements focus on visual and usability improvements, offering a smoother interaction and workflow.
Having played a crucial role in shaping countless hit records, these redesigned plugins continue to be trusted tools for the industry's top professionals—as a recent round of opinion polling among the world’s most acclaimed mixing engineers shows: Manny Marroquin calls the now-refreshed Doubler “a must for any track that needs more width and 3D magic,” while Stu White (Beyonce) praises it as “the industry’s go-to vocal thickening agent.” SuperTap earns acclaim from Tony Maserati for delivering “precise, complex delays that add depth—perfect for ‘ghost’ effects on vocals,” and Young Guru highlights its ability to handle “complex delay placements in mixing.” For Joe Chiccarelli, Enigma is “the go-to for adding personality to guitars, synths, and vocals,” while Dave Pensado calls it “the first place I go to for modulation.”
Now, with fresh UI designs, these plugins integrate seamlessly into modern workflows while preserving the iconic sounds professionals have relied on for decades.
The latest round of Waves V15 updates introduces several additional new features and improvements, including:
- Noise-off feature on JJP Signature Series plugins: This new feature enhances the usability of these popular plugins by reducing unwanted noise.
- Sidechain capabilities added to the legendary L2 Ultramaximizer: This update provides greater flexibility and control in mastering and mixing.
- Performance enhancements and bug fixes across the Waves catalog, ensuring a smooth, reliable user experience.
This release reinforces Waves’ commitment to delivering timeless tools that equip producers, engineers, and artists with the resources they need to create with ease and precision. Waves V15 keeps these classic plugins relevant, powerful, and ready to elevate your music as they have for countless hits in the past. Additional Waves plugins will be redesigned in the future as part of a larger move towards an ongoing renewal of classic Waves plugins.
