Waves Unveils OneKnob Plug-ins
Waves Audio announces the new OneKnob series, a set of seven plug-ins, each providing a particular effect controlled by a single knob.
OneKnob plug-ins feature Waves’ audio processes coupled with their simplest interfaces to date, delivering quick results and solutions for studio and live sound work. As Waves puts it: “Hooked up to a hardware controller, mixing has never been this fast — or this much fun.”
OneKnob plug-ins can be used in the control room, the DJ booth, or when mixing a live show — whenever users don’t feel like tweaking loads of parameters, and want to stay focused on the music and simply dial up some great-sounding effects.
The series includes OneKnob Brighter, OneKnob Phatter, OneKnob Filter, OneKnob Pressure, OneKnob Louder, OneKnob Driver and OneKnob Wetter. Waves describes them as the following:
OneKnob Brighter: An intelligent treble booster that adds brightness from the mid-high range on up, Brighter is perfect for brightening up a track or making it cut through the mix.
OneKnob Phatter: Phatter is a bass booster that provides a quick way to add bottom, weight and body to bass, keys, kick drums and vocals alike, to thicken them in the mix.
OneKnob Filter: From the mixing room to the DJ booth, Filter is a powerful sweepable filter with switchable Resonance modes, perfect for full mixes, loops, analog synths and more.
OneKnob Pressure: From light, parallel-style compression to pumping and squashing, Pressure is a versatile dynamics processor, ideal for percussive sources like loops and drum busses.
OneKnob Louder: Using a combination of peak limiting and low-level compression with automatic makeup, Louder effectively makes tracks louder, increasing RMS by up to 24 dB.
OneKnob Driver: Inspired by famous guitar overdrive pedals, Driver is capable of everything from light overdrive to full-on distortion. But it’s not just for guitars; it sounds great as an effect for vocals, piano, synths, drums, bass and more.
OneKnob Wetter: From short, bright ambiences that are felt more than heard, to longer, darker spaces, Wetter adds instant depth to any track, creating the perfect atmosphere.
The OneKnob series is Native only and available as a bundle for $400 (MSRP) or as single plugins for $80 (MSRP) each. OneKnob Series SoundGrid includes six plugins (Louder, Pressure, Phatter, Brighter, Driver, Filter) and is available for $600 (MSRP).
