Waves NX plugin

Post by dougstronach » Sat Feb 06, 2016 1:30 pm

Just downloaded the demo, tried it and was very impressed...as a result I am now the proud owner of it..:-). For those of us needing to spend a large amount of mix time on headphones, this plugin may be the best thing yet.

Highly recommended and on sale now at WAVES.

You meant this? http://www.waves.com/plugins/nx#introdu ... l-mix-room

If it works as advertised, it's a steal, at the current price.

Are you using the headphone video monitor feature? My setup usually has my laptop closed unless I need a third monitor. Haven't gone through the installation process yet, but bought it last week.

It was handy to setup your sweet spot for the first time but I shut it off after doing that. Not sure you really need it and I don't like the resources it uses....video is never a good thing to have running when you don't need it. I read that reducing the ambience to around 15% was better....still new to it so not completely sure on any of this yet. I have a mix on the go now and will use it as a test to see what the outcome is.

Watch the video waves have on it...they show you how to measure your head and set it up for use....very handy.

Will report more once I do more tests.

I don't see why you'd need/want head tracking; the headphones aren't going anywhere.

i agree...headphones that change balance when you move seems counter productive to me.

I got this too as the price was right.

With the tracking on and looking directly at the computer I moved two feet to the right and I could hear more of the right speaker .
Two feet to the left and voila more of the left speaker

Then it also sounded different when I turned around mimicking real world movement
So I think once you experiment a little you will find this a useful plug and fun too.
