Originally created for sound design and post-production, and strongly embraced by studio and live mix engineers, the LoAir subharmonic generator plugin features two adjustable low-frequency processors for shaping your ultra-low end. LoAir is unique in that it lets you process polyphonic content that enhances your low end in the most natural and musical way.

LoAir is also designed for mixing and mastering in surround, letting you create an LFE track (5.1) from mono, stereo or 5.0 sources, easily and quickly.

Whether used for increasing dramatic subs on existing 5.1 mixes and sound effects, creating monster footsteps and massive explosions, or adding ground-trembling lows to your music’s sub synths, bass and kicks, LoAir gives your tracks all the bottom end they need.

4 Bass Plugins and Sub Enhancers Compared

Getting a fat but tight low end is the holy grail of mixing, but the trick is using the correct tool for the job. We compare 4 different bass and sub plugins – Submarine, LoAir, R-Bass and MaxxBass – to show you how to always get a perfect low end.

Mixing in Surround: DOs and DON’Ts

How is mixing in surround different than stereo mixing? There's more to it than you might think. Find out how to work with an expanded sound field, how to create realistic spatial effects, and how to avoid phasing issues and other pitfalls.

Enrico De Paoli Producer, Recording, Mixing and Mastering Engineer

Ray Charles, Stanley Jordan, Djavan, Jorge Vercillo

“It is amazing how this plugin creates content in low frequency areas that would be otherwise nonexistent for an equalizer, no matter how much we try to boost. When I want a certain track rumbling my low end without my speaker cones jumping out, this is the best I’ve seen. And heard. And felt.”

Sylvia Massy Producer, Recording & Mixing Engineer, Artist, Author

Johnny Cash, Tool, System of a Down, Prince

“LoAir is a subharmonic synthesiser that does one thing real well – it enhances the low end. I cannot start a mix without this important plugin.”

Scott Martin Gershin Sound Designer & Mixer

Nightcrawler, Book of Life, Pacific Rim, Riddick

“Finally—an automatable multi-channel low-end enhancer that replaces my hardware box. When I need to rock the room and take the audience on a ride, I turn to LoAir. It’s the power plugin.”

Charles Deenen Sound Designer

The Fast and the Furious, Need for Speed

“I love clean, punchy low-end in my mixes and sound design. LoAir is a crucial tool for me to obtain that extra dimension of room-rattling subs. It’s the new subharmonic standard. Together with Renaissance Bass, it’s a lethal combo.”

Richard Devine Electronic Musician, Sound Designer

Warp Records, Planet-Mu, Google, Jaguar

“LoAir has been used on almost every project to date; couldn't live without it!”

Ken Andrews Mix Engineer, Producer

Paramore, Failure, Beck, Jimmy Eat World

“I’m a big fan of this plugin for adding weight to kick drums or a thin bass guitar.”

Frank Ilfman Film Composer, Musician, Producer, Remixer

Ghost Stories, The Etruscan Smile, Big Bad Wolves, KT Tunstall

“LoAir is my go-to plugin for adding bottom-end to an orchestra, or to any synth.”

Carey Willetts Songwriter, Producer, Mixer

Dermot Kennedy, Freya Ridings, Athlete, Lila Vargen

“LoAir is a great way to add not only sub but warmth to acoustic instruments that are lacking a bit of oomph.”

Gabriel Gil FOH & Monitor Engineer

CNCO, Gente de Zona, Farruko, Zion Y Lennox

“I use the LoAir plugin on kick and bass to get the subs to rumble. It lets me be as aggressive or as passive as I want while maintaining the control I need.”

Tom Evans FOH Engineer

Snow Patrol, Imogen Heap, Grouplove

“LoAir is pure ground-shaking fun.”

Chris Fogel Recording and Mixing Engineer

Black Panther, Childish Gambino, The Mandalorian, Alanis Morissette

“LoAir’s Alignment feature is fantastic for keeping low end in phase.”

DVBBS Producer, Sound Designer, Songwriter

“Want to shake a festival like an earthquake? Your sub bass isn’t cutting it? Use LoAir!!”

Kara-Lis Coverdale Musician, Producer, Composer, Artist

“The subharmonic shaper LoAir is one of my absolute favorite Waves tools—I love it, especially for when I am creating a full spectrum, large sound-system production and want to achieve a sense of depth and movement from way below. I call it the “earth-will-eat-us” effect. I have also used it with solo instruments to create an interesting duality/subharmonic polyphony.”
