Waves Clarity Vx DeReverb Pro Wins Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) Award

The Clarity Vx DeReverb Pro plugin, an advanced AI reverb removal for dialogue and vocals, got top honors in the Signal Processing Software (Dynamics / EQ / Utilities) category. Another significant recognition for Waves, following the recent Emmy Award for the Waves Clarity Vx Pro noise-reduction plugin.
