Patrizio Teezio Pigliapoco Mixing Engineer, Record Producer

Chris Brown, Dj Khaled, Drake, Young Thug

“MV2 is an amazing tool to use on 808s and basses. It helps boost the low-level frequencies or lower the high levels, and overall, it tightens up the 808.”

Enrico De Paoli Producer, Recording, Mixing and Mastering Engineer

Ray Charles, Stanley Jordan, Djavan, Jorge Vercillo

“Only two faders, full of magic for the music. In a way, this is like parallel compression without any phase or curve-shifting issues. It saves the transients and articulation, adding just pure low-level fat. I love this.”

Tom Elmhirst Mixing Engineer

Adele, David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Frank Ocean

“This is a great plugin to add colorful compression to drums and percussion that otherwise would be lacking in attitude.”

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

Johnny Cash, Tool, System of a Down, Prince

“Simplicity is a beautiful thing. MV2 is a muscular compressor and is one of my daily drivers; you’ll find it in every mix I do. It’s easy and it always works. I cannot start a mix without this important plugin.”

Ken Andrews Mix Engineer, Producer

Paramore, Failure, Beck, Jimmy Eat World

“Such an underrated plugin. Take a performance that has lovely dynamics and bring up the low-level notes by a couple of dB, this works so well it’s like cheating.”

Jaimeson Durr Producer, Engineer, Mixer

Sammy Hagar and The Circle, Chickenfoot, Joe Satriani, Don Felder

“MV2 is my go-to plugin to get my lead vocals to stand up and command attention. That paired with the PuigTec EQP-1A for vocal sheen, and you’ve got a killer vocal sound.”

Gary Barlow Vocalist, Songwriter

Take That, Gary Barlow, Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II

“Here’s a hidden gem; just a little on the 2-buss. It makes the music around my lead vocal come to life. Not a clue how it does it, it just does it. Worth experimenting.”

Zito FOH Engineer

OneRepublic, Backstreet Boys, Babyface

“The Waves MV2 is a life saver in leveling out instruments. It’s brilliant in bringing up low levels without having to squash the dynamics of the instrument with compression.”

Charlie Judge Recording Musician, Composer, Arranger, Conductor

Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban

“Some of my favorites plugins are the simplest ones to use, like MV2. Of course it’s great on vocals, but I love it for bringing any sound forward and revealing all its detail, without making it sound over-processed.”

Dwight Okahara Sound Designer, Senior Audio Lead at Insomaniac Games

Command & Conquer, Ratchet & Clank, Sunset Overdrive, Spiderman (PS4)

“I find the MV2 very powerful because I can grab my source and with the Low and High Levels and control that sense of mic proximity, which makes the sounds I get really versatile.”
