Waves Announces New Version 12.7 (V12.7) Plugins

by | Audio, Gear, News, Production

Waves Audio has announced the latest version of its plugins — V12.7 — offering a new User Preset System designed to make it easier for users to save, load and organize their custom-created plugin presets and share them with other users or between different systems.

Each preset is now a single file, so users can now find saved presets directly from each plugin’s dropdown menu, making it faster and easier to use and manage user-created presets. In addition, Waves SSL plugins and Waves Tune Real-Time now have new, sharper HiDPI GUIs designed to enhance workflows with crisp user-friendly graphic interfaces.

These latest updates join the other new features released recently in V12 plugins: the ability to resize plugins and the new Waves Preset Browser, designed to help users find and audition the presets quickly with instant text search. In addition, owners of the Waves Platinum, Horizon and Diamond bundles get the LoAir, Smack Attack, and Submarine plugins added to their bundle when they update to V12.

Waves V12.7 is designed for full ongoing compatibility with the latest DAWs and operating systems. Updating to V12.7 is free to all users with V12 plugin licenses. Those with V11 or earlier license versions who wish to update need to be covered by the Waves Update Plan, which comes free for one year with every new Waves plugin or bundle purchase and is renewable at any time afterwards.
