> Since Waves hit the scene back in 1992, they’ve earned a place at the head of the audio software table with an expansive, ever-changing line of signal processing tools. Regardless of which bag of music production tricks you wish to rummage through, Waves have no shortage of options. Mixing and mastering, noise reduction and restoration, sound design, plugins for live sound – all corners of the audio world are covered, and in exhaustive fashion.
One of the areas in which Waves specialise is vocal plugins, having released a plethora of premium tools that handle tuning, de-essing, double-tracking, creative vocal effects and more. Their latest arrival at the party is Harmony, a “real-time vocal playground” that creates instantaneous harmonies and chords from solo vocals. Complex vocal harmonies can be gorgeous to listen to, and are usually the preserve of virtuoso musician types like Jacob Collier and Bon Iver, but Harmony aims to make things a little easier for the blue collar producers among us.
