The Room Ambience controls let you alter the amount of reflections and trimВ the centre level. You can graphically adjust the virtual speakersвЂ™ width and position, and even place them behind your head.

There are plenty of settings that let you tailor your virtual acoustic environment.

The overall effect isВ the comparative вЂblurrinessвЂ™ youвЂ™d get from hearing real speakers in a real room, and Nx manages to present this quite naturally. The stereo spread narrows, the centre image softens, and youвЂ™re transported into a world filled with pseudo-room reflections and artificial depth. Pop Nx onto your master bus and youвЂ™ll hear the difference immediately. Namely, a dramatically wide stereo image, unconventional amount of detail, lack of вЂcrosstalkвЂ™ between left and right channels, and the absence of any room reflections mingling with the direct sound before arriving at your eardrums. WavesвЂ™ new Nx plug-in is designed to marry the paradigms of headphone and speaker monitoring by maintaining the convenience and privacy of headphones while rectifying the deceptive auditory world they put you in. Then I chucked it on some speakers and, to my dismay, the levels were all out of whack, effects were overblown, and anything panned centre was way too loud. This new acoustics emulation plugin simulates depth, natural reflections, and the stereo image of an actual, physical room, allowing for a virtual speaker experience on headphones, allowing mixing even for 5.1 surround on. I remember when I first tried producing a songВ entirely on cans - the track was banginвЂ™, everything felt big and wide, the vocals cut through like a knife. Digital signal processing solutions specialist Waves Audio, confirmed the availability of its new Waves Nx, Virtual Mix Room solution for mixing with headphones.
