{"product_id":"waves-nls-non-linear-summer","title":"Waves NLS Non-Linear Summer","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnalog consoles are known for richness, depth, and harmonic complexity—not because they’re perfect, but because they aren’t. This is why pro engineers revere how analog summing colors audio. And now, Waves has spared no effort to capture the sound of 3 superlative analog consoles.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you prefer the solid-state console that launched thousands of hits, the tone of vintage British tubes, or even the console used to record The Dark Side of the Moon—NLS brings them to your DAW, modeled from the consoles of master mixers and producers Mark “Spike” Stent (Paul McCartney), Mike Hedges (The Cure), and Yoad Nevo (Sia).\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor an Analog Whole—Sum the Parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalog consoles didn’t see mixing as a math problem, but as the fusing of sonic pathways into a cohesive whole. Analog circuitry gives each pathway slight differences that when added together, breathe new life into a mix.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChannels Modeled Individually for Accurate Console Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe analyzed and modeled 32 individual channels for each console (yes, it did take forever), so each channel could have the slight differences needed for the historically accurate analog summing sound.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChannel and Bus Components\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNLS includes two components—channels to model the channel preamps, and buses to model the bus amplifiers. Combining these two is the secret to NLS’s hyper-realistic sound, feel, and exceptional flexibility.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCombine the Three Consoles Flexibly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysical consoles can’t swap channels and summing amps, but NLS can. Pick and choose any of the three console colorations, for any channel, and any bus. It’s just like having three consoles in one.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Console Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNLS’s interface can combine channels into 8 different groups. Maybe you want one console for drum mics, and another for guitars. Assign them to the same group—then control group parameters at once, with a single control.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAll this, and VCA Channels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNLS uses automatable VCA channels to control the 8 groups—so if your DAW doesn’t have VCA channels, it does now. Simply choose the channels you want to place under VCA control, and automate as desired.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConsoles Maintained by Master Mixers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModeled plugins are only as good as the original gear. Spike Stent, Mike Hedges and Yoad Nevo mixed and produced countless hits on the consoles we emulated—and made sure that each console was perfectly maintained to deliver its very best results.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAVES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48325548540153,"sku":"1358-2934","price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/nls-non-linear-summer.png?v=1777276883","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/waves-nls-non-linear-summer","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
