Manny Marroquin Signature Series

Instant gratification plugins from the mixer for Rihanna, Lizzo, Post Malone

Easy Access to the Mixing Techniques of Rihanna, Lizzo, The Weeknd Mixer

14x Grammy winner Manny Marroquin is the mixer of choice for hip hop, pop, and R&B royalty: Rihanna, Post Malone, Lizzo, The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, John Mayer, Lorde… the list goes on.

Designed with Manny, these plugins give you easy access to his signature compression, EQ, delay, reverb, saturation, and vocal cleaning sounds—so you can dial in pro-level polished sounds quickly.

Manny Marroquin Delay

Manny Marroquin’s pursuit of the perfect mix has won him 14 Grammy Awards. And now, his creative approach to delay is available to you in this imaginative plugin.

Manny’s recipe for creative delay is to layer many different types of delay into one seamless effect, and spice it up with reverb, distortion, doubling, and phaser effects. The results are deep and evocative—especially on vocals.

Manny Marroquin Distortion

14x Grammy winner Manny Marroquin (Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Lizzo, Future) isn’t your ordinary mixing engineer, and this isn’t your ordinary distortion. Parallel processing layers distortion that growls and teases instead of crushes—thicken digital synths, add grit to bass amps, toughen up drums, and more.

As Manny Marroquin says, “Whether or not it’s audible, sometimes I just want to feel distortion.” Now, you can feel—and hear—distortion that imparts a distinctive character to any sound.

Manny Marroquin EQ

14x Grammy winner Manny Marroquin’s secret to creative equalization is to pick specific EQ curves from 6 different go-to vintage equalizers. Now, we’ve combined his “greatest hits” frequency curves from all 6 EQs into one dazzling plugin.

The switch-selected frequencies in vintage EQs were chosen for deliberate musical reasons, so imagine 34 frequency curves hand-picked by a superstar mixer—that’s Manny Marroquin EQ.

Manny Marroquin Reverb

14x Grammy winner Manny Marroquin’s personal vision of reverb requires multiple effects—and for the first time, Waves has put them together in one plugin. These are the reverb sounds on tracks by Kendrick Lamar, Lizzo, Kanye West, Imagine Dragons, Alicia Keys, Sia, and so many more that Manny has mixed.

This fresh, flexible approach incorporates 18 different reverbs types/sizes—from tight ambience to luxurious spaces—complemented by compression, 3-band EQ, flanger, and distortion. It’s brilliant.

Manny Marroquin Tone Shaper

Multiband compression can do wonders, but the sheer number of interacting parameters is daunting. Let 14x Grammy-winning mix legend Manny Marroquin (Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Lizzo, Rihanna) do the prep work—so you can quickly shape resonant kicks, sizzling cymbals, fuller bass, and more.

The Manny Marroquin Tone Shaper works as a parallel compressor, which maintains a sound’s fundamental character alongside the added compression. The four bands layer enhancements to quickly bring out the best in your tracks.

Manny Marroquin Triple D

The usual technique of using EQ to fix boxy, sibilant, or harsh vocal sounds also gets rid of the EQed frequencies even when there’s not a problem. Developed by 14x Grammy winning mix engineer Manny Marroquin (Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Lizzo, Future), Triple D fixes issues only when they’re present—and otherwise leaves the vocal alone.

For vocals, podcasts and voiceover, Triple D is the ingenious solution that saves time, delivers quality recordings, and retains the voice’s natural characteristics.
