We know it's the glue that pulls a mix together. Waves Cobalt Saphira is a harmonics-shaping plug-in that enhances your tracks with rich harmonics, giving them the elusive analog depth, punch, and glue that are hallmarks of great-sounding mixes. We all strive for balance and clarity in our mixes, but achieving stunning depth is what really separates the pros from the wannabes. In the battle for better-sounding music, Waves Cobalt Saphira is your weapon of choice.
- Control the harmonics you're adding
- Glue, without compression
Control the harmonics you're adding
Cobalt Saphira gives you firm command of the harmonics you're adding, with separate Edge and Warmth controls that let you tweak and balance even and odd harmonics individually, and 4-band EQ that gives you the ability to separately shape the frequency spectrum of each type of harmonic. Seven different harmonics modes provide graphical representation so you can see the changes in harmonic structure as you make them. Five tape speed controls make it easy to add analog wow and flutter modulation, for extra analog-style depth and musicality.
Glue, without compression
Engineers shop-talk about glue when affirming the advantages of compression. But the glue that results from running your signal through a good compressor is often the result of added harmonics. Cobalt Saphira lets you directly control those harmonics without compression, so you can produce more musical, cohesive-sounding mixes. Waves Cobalt Saphira is excellent on groups and submixes, and during mastering. Think of it as a generator of rich harmonic enhancement that you can tailor precisely.
