WAVES "Abbey Road Studio 3" Review (Studio Monitoring Simulation Plug-in, Comparison with Other Products, etc.)

The Waves Abbey Road Studio 3 plug-in is based on accurate 360° impulse response measurements of the Studio 3 control room, combined with Waves' pioneering Nx technology for immersive spatial audio. The plug-in reproduces the same superior audio quality that makes Studio 3 an ideal acoustic environment for mixing and producing music.

WAVES "Abbey Road Studio 3" is a plug-in that may have a special place in the WAVES product line. Not only has it never been below $50, but it has been excluded from many sales. Is there some kind of special arrangement?(☞note: In 2022, Waves launched sale of this product for the first time.)

There are three types of monitors. Near, Mid, and Far, which allows for different monitoring from three different points. It seems to be a plug-in for standard monitoring in the best sense of the word. It is a good thing to think that many of the works that have names attached to them were created in this studio. Nx" was released at relatively the same time as this product, and compared to it, I feel that the release of sound sounds more natural. WAVES "Abbey Road Studio 3" gives the impression that the sound changes a little in bass and other sounds when the FAR level is set. impression. It certainly sounds that way in an actual monitoring environment, so I guess it's just a matter of degree.

Various studio monitoring simulation plug-ins have been released, but I think this one is a good plug-in to have as a standard.
