Waves Audio has announced an update supporting VST3 plugins to its Immersive Wrapper, a tool designed to enable any Waves mono-compatible plugin to function as an immersive processor for multichannel and object-based mixing in Dolby Atmos and other immersive formats.
Immersive Wrapper facilitates mix-wide bus processing with mono plugins across multichannel and object-based formats. Now, users can create immersive bus processing setups in multichannel/object-based mixes using their favorite VST3 mono plugins, complete with a shared internal sidechain system for mix-wide dynamics processing.
The plugin addresses a key challenge for immersive mixers who have wanted the ability to shape the overall sound and character of an immersive mix with bus compression, EQ, or saturation just as they are accustomed to applying on a stereo master bus when mixing in two-channel stereo. While the immersive mix is still outputted to the renderer as separate beds and objects, it works in a control-linked multi-mono configuration to deliver output channel cohesion and a more unified feel to mixes from mono up to 9.1.6 channel configurations.
In addition, Immersive Wrapper has been added to the Waves Ultimate plugin subscription, which includes the complete Waves plugin catalog (over 240 plugins) as monthly or annual subscriptions. It is also available for purchase (perpetual license) as a single plugin.
