Waves’ most recent innovations have established Waves as a major player in the 360-degree, 3D and VR audio market. SoundGrid has entirely changed the workflow possibilities for both audio engineers and musicians: with SoundGrid, they can now run higher plugin counts than ever by offloading all plugin processing to external servers and freeing up their computers’ CPU record with plugins in real time, allowing them to hear the true sound of the recording already during the performance and network all audio in their studio in the most efficient way possible. Most notably, Waves’ groundbreaking SoundGrid technology and applications have become an industry standard for real-time, low-latency audio processing and efficient, cost-effective audio networking.

They can do this thanks to two groundbreaking software innovations by Waves: the Waves MultiRack plugin host, which lets live engineers run plugins on any live sound console and the Waves eMotion LV1 live software mixer, which enjoys success among FOH, monitor and broadcast engineers in need a highly portable live digital mixing console providing pristine, studio-quality sound. Live mixing engineers can now bring studio sound to the stage and mix live sound with an unprecedented level of intricacy, by mixing their shows with Waves (and third-party) plug-ins, with all the wealth of precision control they offer. In recent years Waves has also become an established, major player in the live sound market. These precision-crafted plug-ins capture each artist's distinctive sound and production style, using customized processing chains designed by the artists themselves, and delivering them to the end user in the form of extremely easy-to-use plug-ins.

Of special note in Waves’ history of audio innovation are the unique Waves Signature Series plug-ins, created in collaboration with the world's top producers and engineers. It is hard to imagine the past two-and-a-half decades’ effort to remaster classic recordings from timeworn magnetic tape and old vinyl to digital formats without the advent of Waves’ audio restoration tools – a shining example being Disney’s old optical media, long considered lost or extremely costly to resuscitate, which were restored using Waves tools. Waves also spearheaded and remains a leader in noise reduction plug-ins dedicated to audio repair. Other early breakthroughs have included valuable time-saving tools like Vocal Rider and Bass Rider pioneering early effect plugins such as the MondoMod, SuperTap, MetaFlanger and crucial workflow processors like the S1 Stereo Imager (the first ever stereo manipulation processor) and the PS22 Stereo Maker (a pioneering mono-to-stereo converter). Game-changing tools by Waves have included the L1 and L2 Ultramaximizers, which changed the way level maximization and peak limiting are handled by mixing and mastering engineers today and Waves’ groundbreaking modeling of classic studio legacy hardware, which delivered to any audio engineer or home producer the sound of the SSL and API consoles as well as original rare gear from Abbey Road Studios. Over the past 25 years many revolutionary Waves plugins have become industry standards. Waves has gone on to develop a comprehensive line of over 200 audio plug-ins, an impressive line of diverse hardware units, and an expanding line of state-of-the-art virtual instruments. Propelled by an increasingly diverse and comprehensive product line, Waves quickly became a favorite of audio engineers and producers worldwide. Waves tools are now being used to improve sound quality in virtually every sector of the audio market, from recording, mixing, mastering and post-production, to broadcast, live sound, and consumer electronics – hence Waves’ motto, “Where there’s sound – there’s Waves.” For its accomplishments, Waves received a Technical GRAMMY Award in 2011. What was then considered a surprising foray into computer-driven sound processing tools has since become a prevalent industry standard.

For the first time, it offered high-end professional sound quality in the box that was on par with the sound provided by hardware gear.

The Q10 revolutionized the professional audio industry, transforming the way we work with audio and giving the computer a new status in music recording. With its introduction, Waves not only transformed the way we work in the recording studio, it also created an entirely new industry sector: software-based audio signal processing. Twenty-five years ago, Waves introduced the world’s first audio plug-in, the Q10 Paragraphic Equalizer.
