What is missing is Auto Gain. That would simplify the workflow that much more without having to manually adjust the output after the plugin amplified the signal dB increase.
If nothing more, provide the option to engage Auto Gain or not.

I have only tried the Magma channel strip a little bit but I'm impressed by how its functionality is often enough because of the great sound without needing more surgical EQ etc.

Would've been solid with a Mix knob for the compressor and no single switch or limitation on the HPF..Still sounds great especially on the drums and vocals!

[MixedByDotRob]

Cool. And thanks for level matching! 👍

[thefiredepartment]

Really great tone, and the workflow seems so much more on point than half the other channel strips out there

[massikrbeats]

Love Magma! Haven't had to push far for how I've been using it, very little tweaking for pretty decent results 🔥🔥

Waves plugins is the best in the world 🌎 live a like if u a using waves plugins 🔥🔥🔥

Would love to see some auto gain and mix options along with re-ordering of modules and some form of expansion tab that allows you more control of each section should you need it. Great plugin for simplicity but not a surgical tool by any means. 👍🏻

This sounds clean. This is what I was lacking.

I was just about to buy that plug-in as a one time purchase. Due to the new subscription model of waves I will need to find an alternative

Hello! I am Korean. Doing music is very helpful and fun thanks to the kind videos you and your company posted. Thank you always ! !

OMG, my favorite channel strip has been Scheps Omni Channel (extremely powerful) -- but I love how Magma Channel streamlines the process. It's almost two extremes of complexity, which will be really nice to have. I loved BB Tubes so I'm especially excited about this offering! I already know it'll sound great, but I'm looking forward to the minimal settings. It looks very fast to operate.

Lack of oversampling option makes this a no-go for me in 23'

[NisGaarde]

You put a control on an actual _screw_ just to piss off White Sea Studio, didn't you? 😅

[Zeno]

Stoked to try this when I get home! Hope it's good on cpu and has the oversampling options the magma tubes has

[joesalyers]

The attack on the compressor is a bit too fast, I hope Waves adds a button to give us a slow attack as well. The compressor is great but it can squash a track's transients too much. Otherwise it looks like another winner for Waves!!

[LoopJohnB]

Loved it on bass and elec guitars but hated it on drums and acc guit. 🤷‍♂️
It looks stunning, though 😍

[EllieReagan]

Will this “rich analog tone” make me rich enough to afford a subscription to your service? After I’ve, you know, already bought your plugins? RIP Waves, and goodbye

[LoversinPH]

I mean, this can get all the hate and bad reviews. But when this plugin gets used by legendary mix engineers and win Grammys, it just changes everything.
