What’s new
[December 18, 2024]
New plugin added:
Immersive Wrapper
Turn Waves plugins into immersive mixing tools Immersive Wrapper is an innovative tool that transforms Waves monoplugins
into immersive multichannel processors. This helps solve the problem of bus processing
when mixing music for ATMOS and other immersive formats.
Now you can create exciting bus processing setups in multi-channel/object mixes
using your favorite Waves plugins, complete with a shared internal sidechain system
for dynamic processing of the entire mix.
One of the biggest challenges when mixing for Immersive formats like ATMOS
is the lack of a bus: because the Immersive mix is output as separate layers and objects,
you can’t compose the entire mix in one place, making it difficult to achieve the same glued coherence
as a stereo mix.
Immersive Wrapper finally brings bussing to immersive mixing.
The Immersive Wrapper plugin can place any mono-to-mono Waves plugin in any channel configuration
from mono to 7.1.2 all the way up to 9.1.6.
Immersive Wrapper opens a mono plugin across all channels of a multi-channel track in a “multi-mono” configuration.
All mono instances of the plugin across layers and objects can be control linked
so that they act as a single plugin. Control linking is flexible: you can link
and unlink specific groups, such as ambient or top, and save relative
control positions for maximum control and precision – all with a single click.
For dynamic plugins that support sidechaining, Immersive Wrapper lets you share
internal sidechains across all layers and objects, allowing you to quickly
and easily glue your immersive mix together with bus compression.
Features :
• Supports all track types from mono to 7.1.2 and 9.1.6 and everything in between
• Supports all mono-mono plugins in the Waves catalog
• Create advanced multi-mono setups with flexible linking and relative parameter control
• “Global Group” cross-track linking extends multi-mono functionality to span an entire immersive mix
• Comprehensive shared internal sidechain system for dynamic processing of the entire mix
• Solves the master bus handling problem when mixing music for ATMOS
• Use live (5.1, 5.0) via SuperRack SoundGrid, SuperRack Performer, and SoundGrid Rack for VENUE
• Designed by leading immersive audio mixing engineers

December 18, 2024

This is useful when a background process is doing something wrong.
When background servers are not working properly, the following problem occurs.
• Scanning for plugins fails (WaveShells returns 0 plugins)
• Preset Browser does not work
• COSMOS (also in CR8 Sampler Browser) does not start or crashes without a license error
• Some plugins like KeyDetector, Waves Gemstones cause a license error
Run the included “R2R_Kill_Waves_Background_Process.cmd”.
Run these EXE files manually.
• “%PROGRAMDATA%\Waves Audio\WavesLocalServer\WavesLocalServer.bundle\Contents\Win64\WavesLocalServer.exe”
• “%PROGRAMDATA %\Waves Audio\WavesPluginServer\WavesPluginServerV15.1.bundle\Contents\Win64 \WavesPluginServer.exe”
After that, rescan the plugin.
