Don’t have an acoustically perfect control room? Now you do, with Waves' Abbey Road Studio 3 plug-in, which turns your headphones into a reference-grade monitor system with a combination of impeccable control room acoustics and state-of-the-art near-field, mid-field, and far-field monitoring. The Abbey Road Studio 3 plug-in puts the acoustic environment of Abbey Road Studios’ legendary Studio 3 control room in your headphones, so you can always trust your production decisions. Abbey Road Studios’ flagship mix room was designed by leading acousticians to provide the ultimate production and mixing environment. Now, no matter where you are, you can record and mix music, virtually, in one of the world’s truly great studio control rooms.
Reference-grade acoustics, wherever you are
Powered by Waves' immersive Nx audio technology, the Studio 3 plug-in precision models the control room's acoustic stereo and surround soundstages, allowing you to use your headphones to make better judgments regarding panning, reverb, mix depth, bottom end, vocal placement, high frequencies, and more. Choose from three sets of stereo speaker setups (nearfield, midfield or main monitors) and mix in 5.1 and 7.1 on headphones with Studio 3’s surround setup. If you collaborate on your productions the way many musicians and producers do, the Abbey Road Studio 3 plug-in enables all contributors to have the same reference-grade acoustic environment when working on parts and sending them back and forth.
World-class acoustics, re-created for your headphones
Based on precision 360-degree impulse response measurements of Abbey Road's Studio 3 control room, the Abbey Road Studio 3 plug-in leverages Waves’ pioneering Nx technology for immersive spatial audio. The plug-in re-creates — in stunning 3-dimensional sound over any set of headphones — the same incomparable audio qualities that make Studio 3 an ideal acoustic environment for music mixing and production. You (and your collaborators) will enjoy unmatched clarity of stereo and surround imaging, acoustic response that unveils every detail in your music, well-balanced sustain across the full frequency spectrum, and accurate low-end sustain — a hallmark of the world’s premier control rooms.
