This plug-in will be industry standard. I’m sure other brands will soon partner with waves to be supported in studiorack 👌🏻

This is in the "game changer" category for me. Thank you WAVES for taking your product line to the next level. This makes the 'desert island' choice of plugin brands a no brainer ...

I have alot of waves plugins and they sound pretty good. This rack seems to be nice.
But please change the system of update plans. Some plugins did not change for years and still have bugs (f.i. Mondo mod. If you turn off the parameter at the right side, there is a noticeable latency). So I don't like to pay for a product twice if I bought it once as a full version, and if there are almost no bug fixes, it's even worse to me. 😊 Greets

I would have paid for this plugin.
Waves making it free for us is absolutely amazing! I'm so thankful and happy you guys decided to give this to us.

First, I'm going to thank Dave for his super clear explanation, he gets a 10/10 when teaching/explaining in my opinion -plus he is always down to earth and humble. Second, I have to say that I'm on the side of "I really like this plugin". Yes, I use Reaper, and I save FX chains to reuse them. When reusing chains I will go in detail over the parameters of each plugin to make sure they are ok for the program being worked on -but it normally is only light adjustments as I tend to work on the same type of material (voice overs, sound for video). I haven't used StudioRack yet, but just by watching the video I think it is going to be very useful for me. Already downloaded it, and heck, it is free. Yeah, I hate the Waves update plan (I do have a LOT of Waves plugins) as much as the next guy -but I do use many of their plugins and to be fair many are really good and they do give free stuff to customers sometimes. They have really good deals if you are patient enough to wait for them -a bit of a hassle admittedly. StudioRack looks great. I love having all in one nice interface. To me, the FX dialog box in Reaper is not that attractive; it is simple and it really works great, but (and pardon me, this is going to be subjective) it is not very good looking or super efficient for clicks like the rest of Reaper's interface. Anyways, love StudioRack's ability to split bands too. Although I already have multiband compressors, it is nice to be able to use any of the other compressors or effects right here. This can be done with Reaper splitters but it kind of looks easier here in StudioRack, doesn't it? The parallel processing is also really nice because it is all in one place (see the other video from Dave where he looks at the parallel splitting in more detail). One can do that in Reaper but I think StudioRack will save me from creating more tracks to do the parallel processing, or am I missing something? ----Thanks again to Dave for these videos!

Doing voice over work and having the same mic, room, person, etc over and over, this will be awesome to have the whole chain saved even if I have to go to premiere or another program to edit the audio

[PhenomDaDON]

Once they let you use ANY plugin in the Studio Rack....IM ALL THE WAY IN!!!

[BorisDiRocco]

Thanks so much Dave about the tutorial, StudioRack is amazing to be only a plugin

[studio]

Studio One already has this built in the individual channel strips including the master. You can save the chains with any of the plugins inserted native and third party.

Waves really is about the people - to give such a detailed plugin to us for free is phenomenal. For instance I’ve just finished a degree at Point Blank Music School (sponsored by waves) and this pushes the boundaries of everything we learnt. Amazing.

[teckno_senpai]

SR is seriously amazing. been using it for a month now and man. cant stop wont stop

[Alejandro]

I love The way you demonstrate how to use Waves Plug-ins or just seeing how you mix in general. I like watching your videos thank you!!

[lamontdavis]

My Man Dave! I learn so much watching his Waves demonstration videos.

[ZozillaThaGreat]

Kudos to waves, simple concept, super powerfull update Great move !! Would love to see mini pics of processors also !! like on the old one ....

[mennovroom]

Best plugin of the year. I realy love it. Great work! (Suggestions; unity gain knob, a vst/au wrapper, oversampling.)

[ErickT_MX]

Inspired on FL Studio's Patcher, Studio One's Splitter and Ableton's Audio Rack? Nice! I think this is a game changer in terms of you can share one only little preset and open in every single DAW. Plus little functions like stereo width per band makes things easier.

[wadewilliams]

If you think about what you can really do, what this really means, and what’s really possible, it’s really amazing. I won’t say which but there can be some devastating macro controlled combinations.

Great video! So many possibilities with this rack.

[BigMuff]

Pretty neat tool, love the multiband option.

[rasamerlock]
