WAVES Analog Summing Plugin - NLS v9.0.2.3 MAC OSX [K]

......don't be fooled by minute gaindifferences most manufacturers put into their plugs that give you that instant 'OMG su much better' moment.

I agree!
WAVES are often no "one click-go" plug-ins, you may study the approach:

NLS Quickstart Tutorial

macandstudio,
if you read the manual you will see that it has presets. those presets are different than ordinary presets. nls gui and functions are very good (not talking about sound). its very simple, you put nls channel in the last insert slot of every audio chanel you want (32 possible and you want all as you're emulating console), assign that nls channels to different groups eg drums, synths, guitars, vocals etc, then you put nls buss on the first insert in your master chain and you will see groups that you've set before. also, every group you can control from every nls interface and thats awesome. and not to say that you can assign different console types to different vca groups. and to my semi-amateur ears, this plugin makes a nice difference in sound compared to original

imho
Saston sounds good and is REALLY easy to use/FAST!
NLS has a much wider range of results that can be achieved, but you have spend a bit more time at it.
And yeah running a line level into a mic input is supposed to sound bad, thats kind of the idea.
The AirWindows is different altogether, It doesn't color, just adds depth and a bit of 3d'ness.
Don't know about The Slate. (is there a release?)

If your in a hurry: Satson
If you've got the time to be creative:NLS.

Great plug in!

Thanks for your great help and explanation.

you're welcome and sorry for my bad english :D

Installed and tested on Ableton Live 8.3 and ProTools 9.0.3 HD everything working good under MBP 15" Late 2009 and Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
No other plugin disappeared

If your in a hurry: Satson
If you've got the time to be creative:NLS.

That's a very good resume ! I would add Slate VCC with Satson, but there's sadly no release so far... Mine is legit ! (Thanks special offers lol)

all it's OK on logic Pro with all waves plugins

for me everything working just fine
I just checked the NLS plugin , it took like 5 min to download + install ,I run the AU reg tool ,,, and Walla everything is working fine
I am using logic pro 9.1.7 on mac osx lion 10.7.3
all my other plugins by waves working just fine

gruzina

Same here working fine on Logic 32 bit mode

alal,
Man, i have the waves 8 too, works on Logic perfectly but not work on Pro Tools.

Works in Logic 8, but not in Ableton, in it it opens up fine, plugin's meters move, but none of parameters work, neither drive nor gain respond to tweaking, you can move them, but they have no influence on sound at all But fuck it, since it work in Logic, it's enough for me
P.S. Waiting for a letter from Waves indicating what they're suing me Since connecting to them probably logged my IP No fun gonna be here in jungles

Works in Logic 9.1.3 32bit/10.6.7

Thanxs!!!

You think WAVES are like Nazi-police?? These guys swim in their pools full of money while you have a bad conscience?! Ah, come on....

thank george.lee for the "with wave 8 it does not show in PT10" feedback !

thank you

funny thing, I left Ableton project open with NLS loaded for a few hours now, and then I get back to it, NLS suddenly works, probably on Ableton it needs to warm up
Edit: Ok, when I drop it in Ableton it doesn,t work at first, but if turn it off and then turn it back on, it suddenly works :)

Kookaboo

You think WAVES are like Nazi-police?? wow These guys swim in their pools full of money while you have a bad conscience?! Ah, come on....

actually waves is an exception in the business and seems to be really serious about copyright those years,they almost get bankrupt two years ago,since there,they control most of the recording studio (meaning:studio with client,not home studio i think)..
just google "waves suing recording studio" you"ll prolly get surprise;)

in belgium (one of the smallest country in europe) most of the big recording studio has been controlled,three has been knap,no recording studio use crack anymore down here...
again i don't think they really care about people who don't make real business of it..

thx for the [K];)

Jeez, this thing sounds like you've added in a nice console.

I tried a quick test of throwing an NLS channel plug on each track using mild to moderate amounts of drive (all bussed to Group 1); then pulling up an NLS bus plug and actually hitting Group 1 on that a little harder. I was trying to balance the level between plug/bypass to not get tricked by hotter effect level at both the channel and bus stages (not perfect, but enough to make it a more fair comparison).

Plug sounds great, and you don't need to overdo it. Really does that "glue" thing, with just enough saturation to sound like very modest and musical compression and frequency enhancement... where everything can be heard without having to be smashed in your face. Easier to listen 3-D inside the mix to hear what's going on than when bypassed. Very non-linear and hard to put your finger on... but one of those subtle things that adds up in your favor over 20-30 tracks. Kind of a WAY-more refined VintageWarmer or Massey tape plug vibe that makes stuff just sound better. Each plug has 32 presets that are actually models of different individual channels that sound slightly different from each other... just like on most real consoles. (Any of you old enough or experienced enough to remember that not all channels sound exactly the same on an analog console?)

I heard some NLS shootouts with Slate VCC, and I actually liked VCC slightly better in some cases... but they're different enough to both be really valuable. Since I don't have VCC, Waves NLS is really, really great. ;^)

i wish it work for pro tools but it does not....
