Waves Audio has announced the expansion of its custom-shop Magma series with the release of the new Magma StressBox plugin, a dynamics tool designed to shape musical tension and feel in real time with a single knob.
Turn right for aggressive compression that delivers added punch, urgency, and “in-your-face” energy; turn left for cinematic depth for added expansion designed to enhance transients, shorten reverb tails, and tighten tracks for a more controlled feel. With Magma StressBox’s automation capabilities, users can ride energy and emotion to create lift, contrast, and flow across verses, choruses, and instrumental parts from one streamlined tool.
The Magma StressBox has been added to the Waves Ultimate plugin subscription that includes the Waves catalog (more than 240 plugins) and Waves Essential (over 120 plugins) as monthly or annual subscriptions. It is also available for purchase (perpetual license) as a separate plugin, or within Waves’ Mercury, Pro Show, SD7 Pro Show and Live Plus bundles.
