On June 24, 2024 Waves lauches 2 new StudioVerse plugins, making StudioVerse the biggest online preset library for audio & instrument chains right inside your DAW: StudioVerse Instruments and StudioVerse Audio Effects.
Both StudioVerse plugins offer full VST3 support for third-party plugins and virtual instruments, allowing for limitless possibilities in creating signature chains. Additionally, both plugins are available for free download.
New StudioVerse Instruments
With StudioVerse Instruments you can play, browse, and audition thousands of custom-designed presets from the StudioVerse library. This is a new virtual instrument plugin rack whose presets feature intricate chains that combine multiple instrument layers, MIDI effects, and audio effects. You will be able to create and design your own unique sounds and instruments, share them across different DAW’s and publish them in the StudioVerse library. This allows you to share them with the StudioVerse community where everyone will be able to benefit from each other’s expertise and creativity.
When selecting from the various presets, you can unleash your creativity and push your boundaries by twitching and modifying your audio to create new sounds with the macro knobs available, such as Cutoff, Modulation, Drive, Stutter, Lo-Fi, or Burn. Additionally, you can seamlessly change the key and scale of your melody or sound.
Parallel and multi-band split are also still available when using StudioVerse Instruments, as it was in the previous ‘StudioRack’.
New StudioVerse Audio Effects, formerly know as StudioRack
With StudioVerse Audio Effects, formerly known as StudioRack, Waves have undertaken a comprehensive redesign and enhancement to elevate the audio production experience. The several newly enhanced UX features include an optimized search engine, intuitive tags, and suggested presets directly within the main plugin window.
This revamped platform offers easy access to numerous mixing-chains curated by Grammy-winning engineers.
You will also find some of Dxt3r‘s custom-designed vocal chains and presets.
With StudioVerse Audio Effects, you have the option to generate your sound either manually using the digital keyboard within the plugin or by connecting your MIDI keyboard for sound creation. Just like StudioVerse Instruments, you can then customize and adjust the sound to your liking using the macro knobs available on the plugin, or by changing the scale and the melody of your sounds and instruments.
For existing users of StudioRack, StudioVerse Audio Effects is seamlessly compatible with existing StudioRack presets and sessions, ensuring a smooth transition without compromising your previous work.
