Pro audio manufacturer Waves has unveiled its latest addition to the live audio production toolkit: the Curves Equator LIVE resonance suppression plugin. Designed specifically for live performance workflows, this software aims to provide zero-latency resonance control and tonal consistency for audio engineers and producers alike.
Curves Equator LIVE: Key Features and Use Cases
The new plugin is tailored for both live engineers and producers, offering dynamic control across a range of applications:
- Live Engineers: Manage resonance and tonal balance for vocals, instruments, master bus, and playback tracks in real time, ensuring a consistent sound throughout a performance.
- Producers: Achieve mix-ready vocal tracks during recording sessions, enhancing both the performance and production quality from the outset.
What’s New in This Version
This release introduces a number of enhancements, including:
- Curve Freeze Feature: Available in both Curves Equator LIVE and Silk Vocal LIVE, this feature allows the plugin’s processing curve to freeze when the input signal drops below a user-defined threshold. This can help maintain tonal stability during quieter moments.
- Platform Compatibility: The plugin is compatible with major live audio platforms, such as Waves eMotion LV1, SuperRack SoundGrid, SuperRack Performer, and Avid VENUE | S6L.
- Solo Toggle for Node Display: The plugin features a ‘solo’ toggle, enabling more precise adjustments during node-based editing.
Pricing and Availability
The plugin is available now at an introductory price of $39.99 (regularly $79). As an added bonus, Curves Equator LIVE is included free with any purchase of the standard Curves Equator plugin.
