Wavesfactory Quantum £129 PC MAC
Promising an algorithmic-led way of wrenching apart audio, Quantum sets out its stall to be the ultimate transient shaper. Can it really be?
> Over the last ten years, Spain’s Wavesfactory has been fuelled by a quest to deliver ever more acute methods of creative audio manipulation. The innovative Trackspacer and Spectre use their intelligent algorithms to achieve spacious mix clean-up and laserfocused parametric EQ-ing respectively. Their latest plugin, Quantum, again harnesses the capabilities of artificial intelligence, this time in service of fluid transient shaping. This underthe-hood mecha-brain scans for impactful transients in your audio signal, surgically dividing attack and sustain parts into two distinct audio paths, which can then be individually treated via a gamut of on-board DSP effects, before being re-combined.
