Waves Audio Uses Nx Technology to Recreate Abbey Road Studio 3 Room Emulation

Waves Audio introduced the Abbey Road Studio 3 plugin, created in collaboration with Abbey Road Studios. Using its Waves Nx 3D audio binaural encoding technology to emulate the acoustics of a space, the new plug-in allows anyone to work with headphones, as if it was inside the Abbey Road Studio 3 Control Room. For music producers, this means the ability to hear the music in the renowned studio, with an emulation of the studio's nearfield stereo monitors, 5.1 or 7.1 setups.
