There is something warm and fuzzy about the Waves Hybrid line of plug-ins. They have the look, feel and sound of outboard gear I grew up with ‘way too back in the day’ but they operate in a modern way with the power and precision that only a plug-in processor can provide. The Waves Hybrid Line is a win-win winner—get all the great sounds of those old processors when they are working correctly on a perfect day without all the…

Polarity and Phase - these terms are often used as if they mean the same thing. They are not. POLARITY: In electricity this is a simple reversal of the plus and minus voltage. It doesn’t matter whether it is DC or AC voltage. For DC, Turn a battery around in a flashlight and you have inverted or, more commonly stated, reversed the polarity of the voltage going to the light bulb. For AC, interchange the two wires at the input…

For most humans, there is nothing easier than breathing, seeing, smelling and hearing. We do these things without thought, and even take them for granted. Our senses were given to us to help us exist in a physical universe. They are transducers that allow physical stimuli to be converted into a form recognized by the brain. We are bombarded with stimuli every waking moment, and our brains are continuously processing the information to help us function in our environment. Of…

Sound Waves Sound moves through the air like waves in water. Sound waves consist of pressure variations traveling through the air. When the sound wave travels, it compresses air molecules together at one point. This is called the high pressure zone or positive component(+). After the compression, an expansion of molecules occurs. This is the low pressure zone or negative component(-). This process continues along the path of the sound wave until its energy becomes too weak to hear. The…
