Waves H-Series

H-Series

4 hybrid plugins : Analog behavior meets digital precision

Analog Sound and Behavior Meet Digital Precision

Although analog sound quality is revered, the limitations—like inconsistency and inflexibility—are frustrating. But now, you can have it all: the H-Series combines Waves’ unmatched expertise in analog modeling, with the complete flexibility of digital.

Each H-Series processor spans the range from the nostalgic sounds of the past, to the immaculate clarity of today’s high-resolution technology—and always has an unmistakable analog character.

Add Soulful Sonic Effects and Variety to Digital Productions

H-Delay : Your Delay Effects Laboratory

H-Delay has the tools to emulate all popular delay-based effects, past and present, from funky to clean. They’re all here: Lush guitar chorusing, tape-delay vocals, vibrato—even crazy feedback effects from ’50s sci-fi movies.

H-Reverb : The Swiss Army Knife Verb

Classic or contemporary? Let’s do both. H-Reverb marries the sweetness and editability of algorithmic reverb with the precise, real-world sound of convolution technology—then folds in delay, de-essing, and ducking effects.

H-EQ : 7 Bands from Vintage to Surgical

No other plugin offers 7 different console characters, from US and UK vintage to modern digital, for individual EQ bands. With different analog colors, mid-side operation, and included spectrum analyzer, this EQ does it all.

H-Comp : Compression with the Charm of Tubes

H-Comp combines the enduring sound of tubes, transformers, and transistors with modern, precise compression. Add punch, do parallel compression, and choose from four distinct analog personalities—or none.

H-Comp Hybrid Compressor

H-Comp combines the performance and precision of modern compressors with the charming, and enduring, sound quality of tubes, transformers, and transistors. Even better, unlike the immutable nature of “character” compressors, you can choose from four distinct analog personalities.

Whether warming up today’s tracks with a vintage vibe, packing percussive power and punch into rhythm tracks and loops, or sweetening vocals with the nostalgic sheen of tubes, H-Comp delivers.

H-Delay Hybrid Delay

H-Delay’s comprehensive control set delivers chorusing, flanging, echo, tape delay, looping, doubling, slapback, resonance, vibrato, self-oscillating feedback, and more. Best of all, it covers the sonic range from funky, old-school delays to today’s state-of-the-art sound quality.

With its accessible interface, straightforward controls, and a huge variety of presets, H-Delay can kick-start your creativity in seconds—it’s no wonder people call this their “desert island delay.”

H-EQ Hybrid Equalizer

All EQs have different characters, but no other plugin lets you choose one of 7 different console characters for each of 7 bands of EQ. From US and UK vintage, to US and UK modern, to two flavors of digital EQ, this amazing versatility always lets you choose what’s right for your music.

Process left and right channels independently or link them, do mid-side processing, and add variable analog color and THD to the vintage EQs. This is the EQ that does it all—superbly.

H-Reverb Hybrid Reverb

H-Reverb creates an entirely new class of deep, rich, and realistic reverb, by augmenting the rich flexibility of algorithmic reverb with the lifelike realism of convolution technology. From simple rooms to complex halls—and beyond—H-Reverb sets the standard for unparalleled flexibility.

With H-Reverb you can create natural-sounding effects—or innovative ones that take liberties with linear space and time. But it doesn’t stop there. With added EQ, compression, ducking, de-essing, modulation, overdrive, resonance, and pre/post delay—H-Reverb enables you to chisel your reverb effects with unprecedented control.
