Maxx Bass MaxxBass patent pending technology takes your bass to the maximum on more speaker sizes, from any source, by adding a series of harmonics to the signal. These harmonics stimulate a psychoacoustic bass-enhancing effect – a phenomenon that small speakers rely on to play audible bass. MaxxBass simply maximizes this known acoustical phenomenon. Thus bass frequencies are greatly enhanced without traditional EQ or bass compression. Taken to the extreme, you can actually remove the original bass signal completely and the ear will still "capture" the fundamental from the added harmonics. Employing dynamic graphics and a simple user interface, MaxxBass allows you to creatively add specific harmonics to bass signals. MaxxBass helps you hear better bass on all speakers, from your full-range to your laptop. Whether for mastering enhancements or site-specific mixing, your ears will perceive an amazing low end. more info

PAZ uses wavelet techniques (as opposed to FFTs) to provide users with optimal graphic accuracy. Individual bands update independently for the fastest response and consequently increased accuracy and resolution. PAZ offers two distinctive real-time audio-analysis displays in addition to Peak/RMS metering: 1. A distinctive continuous-graph Frequency Display - showing 52 bands most closely resembling the ear's constant Q critical frequency bands. 2. A wavelet-based real-time analysis including RMS or Peak modes with dual channel or total-stereo-energy graphing from DC to Nyquist, and unweighted, C- and A- weighting modes. Optional resolution in 10Hz steps can be shown for precise analysis below 250Hz for a total of 68 bands. The display can be zoomed into any area of the graph, all the way to -80dBFS. Level analysis can be saved to a text file. Level meters include L/R peak and summed average (RMS) display, with individually re-settable peak hold values. For fast operation, you can select just the meter you need from Analyzer, Pan, or VU - either all together, or each separately. The Stereo Position Display shows how energy is spread into the stereo field, including anti-phase information, all in an intuitive real-time vector display. This meter is unlike a phase meter, and can help you visualize the energy distributed in the stereo image. more info
PS22 Stereo Maker The revolutionary 3rd-generation stereo-from-mono tool. Ideal for restoration, SFX, guitar leads, and more. Absolutely without compare! Creates a rich and spacious stereo image from mono sources, and also enhances the spread of stereo sources. It can be used on single tracks of a mix, such as lead instruments or backing vocals, or for stereo enhancement of full mixes or old recordings. PS22 is designed to avoid problems common with previous stereoization processes: it has virtually no unpleasant 'phasiness', very low coloration, high tonal accuracy, and good mono compatibility. These features makes the PS22 sound uniquely pleasant, natural, and free of listening fatigue. Unlike previous stereoizers, PS22 works not just on mono but also stereo inputs, spreading each and every sound in the mix about its original stereo position. This can be used to create a virtual acoustic reality where all sound sources have a size, and are no longer unnatural point sources. The Waves PS22 interface provides controls allowing adjustment of specific sounds to be anywhere in the stereo image, plus an informative graphical display of position as a function of frequency. more info
True Verb One of the best room emulations in existence, with exclusive distance control. Define the room, choose your seat!
