Waves Audio announced that it’s now shipping the new Waves Nx Germano Studios New York plugin that’s designed to bring the acoustics of the noted Germano studio – originally known as The Hit Factory – to the headphones of users.
The plugin is designed to reproduce the precise acoustic response of Germano’s Studio 1 control room based on acoustic measurements combined with Waves Nx spatial technology consisting of channel crosstalk, inter-aural delays (ITD), filters (ILD), room reflections and head motion tracking.
Users can check your mixes through Germano’s stereo monitors, including the NS10 nearfields, custom Exigy S412G four-way system with dual 18-inch subwoofers, and the Germano Acoustics A2s. They can also mix for surround on headphones, with Germano’s 5.1 system equipped with five Germano Acoustics A2 loudspeakers and subwoofer. In addition, Nx Germano Studios supports head tracking via webcam or the Waves Nx Head Tracker Bluetooth device for an enhanced 3D spatial effect.
Troy Germano, owner of Germano Studios New York, states, “When Waves approached me about collaborating on an Nx plugin for my Studio 1 control room here at Germano Studios in New York City, I knew they were the right partner to bring ‘the hit factory’ monitoring experience to everyone’s headphones. The Nx Germano Studios plugin from Waves achieves that with incredible accuracy.”
