Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy Awards are presented to an individual, company or organization for developments in engineering, science and technology that are either so extensive an improvement on existing methods or so innovative in nature that they materially affect the production, recording, transmission or reception of television and thereby have elevated the storytelling process.
Waves Audio will be among the recipients of the upcoming 75th Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy Awards, in a ceremony to be held Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023. The award will be presented by the Television Academy to Waves Audio's Meir Shashoua (CTO), Yaniv Alon (DSP Team Leader) and Shai Fishman (Product Manager), for their development of the Waves Clarity Vx Pro audio processing plugin.
Widely adopted by leading television and film post-production professionals since its introduction in 2022, the Clarity Vx Pro plugin is one of the countless solutions developed by Waves for post-production. In this case, it's a noise-reduction plugin that uses a powerful Neural Networks engine developed by Waves, to separate dialogue from ambience at the highest quality, without artifacts, and in real time.
Addressing today's post-production needs, the Clarity Vx Pro plugin actually allows for real-time processing and vastly speeds up and enhances the workflow of dialogue editing and mixing. It works in most digital audio workstations (DAWs) to create immediate, clean results without having to render, bounce, duplicate or consolidate tracks. It allows editors and mixers to listen to the dialog processing as part of the whole mix in context.
"We would like to thank the Television Academy for this tremendous honor you have bestowed upon us," states Mick Olesh, Waves Managing Director. "Additionally, on behalf of everyone at Waves, we would like to thank all of the post-production professionals who continue to use our technologies in their day-to-day work. We are thrilled that Clarity Vx Pro has found a home in the toolbox of so many of the talented pros that help create today’s television and film landscape. Thank you for this prestigious award.”
