News Summary:
Waves Audio recently launched "Plugin Roulette" on August 26, 2026, a new challenge featuring engineers like Noah “MIXGIANT” Glassman attempting to mix a track in under 30 minutes using five randomly selected plugins. Previously, on August 18, 2026, Sean “Sully” Sullivan, Front of House engineer for Bruno Mars’s "The Romantic Tour," deployed the Waves LiveBox in his Avid S6L rig for stadium shows, using the dedicated unit for third-party plugins. Sullivan was an early adopter of the LiveBox. This follows the company's announcement on August 14, 2026, of V17 plugins, a major update across its plugin catalog that introduced a new preset management system. The system enhances preset browsing, searching, and organization, adding favorites management to improve recall across music production, broadcast, post-production, and live sound applications. Earlier, on August 13, 2026, producer Oak Felder detailed his "mix-forward" approach to production, emphasizing early planning for the final mix with examples from his work with UK R&B group FLO. On August 4, 2026, the company featured tips from eight producers, mixers, and DJs on optimizing 808 drums and bass lines for punch, clarity, and low-end impact.
