Waves Abbey Road Studio 3: Studio Plugin Collection

Abbey Road has set a standard of excellence for decades and mixing there is an experience only a few can have—until now. Thanks to advanced 3D acoustics modeling just put on headphones and you’ll be transported to mixing stereo or surround projects in a truly historic control room. Waves has modeled every sonic nuance of this premier mixing space—and with correction EQ curves for 270 headphone models now you can mix with realism you have to hear to believe

Better Mixes—Anytime Anywhere

Sometimes headphones are your most convenient monitoring option. But mixing on headphones can be unreliable: you might easily add too much ambient reverb or too much low end etc. Abbey Road Studio 3 corrects the inherent limitations of the headphone experience so you can create mixes that will translate perfectly to any system.

Monitor in Abbey Road’s Flagship Mix Room

The Abbey Road Studio 3 control room was designed by the world’s greatest acoustic experts to provide the ultimate mixing environment. Contemporary mixes and remixes of the Beatles and Pink Floyd modern classics by Radiohead Amy Winehouse Kanye West Frank Ocean and more—all were perfected at Abbey Road Studio 3.

Choose from 3 Sets of Custom Abbey Road Monitors

Check your mixes through the studio’s three sets of custom-made speakers: Near-fields for critical listening mid-fields for a hi-fi sound or far-field for a big speaker sound with a club-like feel.

EQ Correction for 270 Headphone Models

Abbey Road Studio 3 uses the state-of-the-art Harman Headphone Target Curve method to correct EQ response for over 270 studio headphones including models by Sony Beyerdynamic Sennheiser AKG Audio Technica Audeze Focal and dozens more brands.

Powered by Waves Nx® Immersive Audio Technology

Waves Nx uses channel crosstalk inter-aural delays (ITD) filters (ILD) early reflections and head motion tracking to replicate the immersive experience of hearing audio in the real world. All these are coupled with precision measurements of the acoustic response at the physical Abbey Road Studio 3 control room to faithfully deliver the original monitoring experience.

Personalize Your Studio Environment

Use the precise emulation of Studio 3’s acoustics or dial in slightly wetter or drier room ambience. For personal adjustment of the 3D effect to your head/ear anatomy enter your personal head measurements into the plugin’s head anatomy calibration section.

Track Head Motion for Enhanced Immersion

When you’re in the studio and turn your head the sound changes. And it can here too: for an immersive VR-like experience track head motion with your computer’s video camera or with the advanced Nx Head Tracker.
