Nx – Virtual Mix Room over Headphones

“I love using Nx while mixing in headphones. It gives me a clear, detailed image of my panning and depth of field, while allowing me to move freely in front of my screen. I feel like I’m right inside the mix. I’ll never go back to boring two-dimensional headphone mixes.”

“Nx is scary cool! I couldn’t believe all this was happening inside my headphones. I am blown away!”

“Waves Nx allows me to mix and experience 360° audio for VR right in Pro Tools without ever having to take my eyes off the screen. Nx has helped me work from home while the baby is sleeping in the room next door.”

“I’ve often used headphones to reference reverb levels, guitar spreads etc., but never mixed anything on headphones from start to finish. With Nx, I’ve now mixed drums using only headphones, to great results. I can mix quietly and hear great detail, while still feeling like I’m in a real physical environment and not closed away. The mix sounds the same as if I were using speakers. I would urge everyone to try this and save your ears while getting it done well.”

“Nx takes flat two-dimensional sound and turns it into an amazing three-dimensional sound experience. I love it.”

“I used the Nx plugin and Nx Head Tracker with vocalists recording in my studio, without telling them what it was. They said it was like taking the headphones off – like they were part of the mix rather than listening to a previously recorded mix – which made it easier for them to sing in tune.”

“I got the Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin and Nx Head Tracker up and running and the results are amazing. During sessions, the feeling of being in a live room is light years beyond regular headphone monitoring. Fantastic product.”

“When touring with bands I often have to mix the audio for online videos, and I’m never afforded the luxury of having a studio to sit and mix at. All of my work has to be done using my laptop with a pair of headphones, sitting in the production office or on the tour bus. With Nx, I finally have a natural and adaptable work environment on the road where I can create studio-level mixes. ”

“When I listen to live recordings for virtual soundcheck, Nx gives me the perfect simulation of a real control room, which lets me improve the quality of the in-ear mixes I’m preparing. With the head tracking function, I feel like I’m in the sweet spot of a real room as my head moves left and right. The plugin is very accurate: it’s like having my own mix room while I’m on tour.”

“As a live sound engineer I am always on the road. With the Nx plugin and head tracker I feel comfortable to mix my live recorded tracks on headphones anywhere I go, feeling like I am in front of speakers in a studio control room.”

“The Nx plugin and Nx Head Tracker have proven to be an invaluable tool in my studio. I have a home studio and sometimes have to mix/track on my headphones late at night. Nx gives me an amazing “virtual speaker” experience that allows me to work practically as I would with my speakers blasting! It’s a great innovation that should be a staple in any and every studio, large and small. ”

“I’ve really been digging the Nx plugin and the Nx Head Tracker. I can’t go back to listening on headphones without Nx. When I can’t work in my studio, using Nx is the way to go.”
