FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WAVES SHIPS NEW VOCAL BUNDLE FEATURING
POWERFUL TUNING AND BREATH REMOVAL SOFTWARE PLUG-INS
— Waves continues to support loyal customers with free plug-ins
as part of the Waves Update Plan —
KNOXVILLE, TN, November 17, 2005 — Waves Ltd., the leading
manufacturer of audio DSP processing and plug-ins, has begun shipping
its new Vocal Bundle featuring recently released Tune and DeBreath plug-ins
for unprecedented pitch correction/transposition and breath sound removal.
This new comprehensive toolset offers the latest Waves technology, along
with the classic Renaissance Channel, Renaissance DeEsser and Doubler
plug-ins, for world class vocal track production. Owners of selected
plug-in bundles covered by the Waves Update Plan will receive the new
Tune LT plug-in for free, which offers nearly all of the same groundbreaking
features of the standard version.
Gilad Keren, CEO of Waves Ltd., commented on the release
of Tune LT for Waves Update Plan subscribers: “We want to make
sure our update plan offers real value to our most loyal customers,
which is why we provide our plan subscribers with our newest, most advanced
products. An example is last year’s release of the L3 Multimaximizer
and L3 Ultramaximizer, which was given free to subscribers who owned
selected bundles—and which went on to win this year’s prestigious
Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) Award for outstanding signal
processing software. With Tune LT, we’re again offering subscribers
our latest and greatest for free.”
Tune contains everything needed for powerful pitch correction
and melody transformation, while maintaining Waves’ superior sound
and familiar user-friendly interface. Features include surgical editing
tools, formant correction, and MIDI export for even more creative possibilities.
Unlike other solutions, Tune gives users control without
being bound to a limited playback section, allowing users to audition
changes with music at any time. Tune is powered by ReWire, a technology
of Propellerhead Software, so users always have direct control and sync
with the host system.
DeBreath offers users a unique process for separating
and removing unwanted breath sounds from vocal tracks, while maintaining
a transparent response tailored to vocals that is often lacking in other
technologies used for this application.
Tune is available for $600 (MSRP), DeBreath is available
for $350 (MSRP), and the Vocal Bundle is available for $1,000 (MSRP);
all are in Native format and require the use of an iLok. Registered
users of the Waves Update Plan who own eligible bundles will receive
Tune LT at no charge. An upgrade to the full version of Tune is offered
for $300.
