Renaissance Channel puts the best of Renaissance processing in one place: a complete channel strip combining EQ, compression and gating. The sound behind many modern classics, this is the channel strip of legends.

Renaissance Channel takes the precision of R-EQ, the tightness of R-Comp, the magic of R-Vox, and combines them into one of the user-friendly channel strips available. This feature-rich processor gives you serious control over your tracks and makes it difficult to get them sounding bad.

R-Channel features separate sidechains for the Gate and Compressor, with independent filters and source selectors.

R-Channel also features a double-precision 64-bit floating point internal audio path throughout the processing chain, all the way to the channel’s output. This eliminates the possibility of internal clipping in the EQ or compressor, without loss of resolution.

With an updated interface that is more intuitive than ever, this a “one-stop-shop” channel strip that will continually bring your music to life.

“The Renaissance plugins have been my bread and butter since I ran my first sessions in Pro Tools in 2000. They are engraved in me like muscle memory. They’re great, they don’t take up a load of my CPU, and I can use them quickly and move along with what I’m doing.”

Sterling Winfield Producer, Engineer, Mixer

Pantera, Hellyeah, Texas Hippie Coalition, Erykah Badu

“The Waves plugin I use the most without question is the Renaissance Channel. I use it for so many different things because of its versatility and the great sound of both the EQ and the compression.”

Mike Hedges Producer / Engineer

U2, The Cure, Dido, Manic Street Preachers

“Renaissance Channel is so convenient. It’s a one-stop-shop for dynamics and EQ — everything ‘Renaissance’ under one roof.”

Alan Branch Producer, Engineer, Writer, Musician

Nine Inch Nails, Sinéad O’Connor, Depeche Mode, Blur

“Renaissance Channel is the Waves plugin I probably use the most, mainly on vocals. It’s a great toolbox for compression, gating and EQ, and a fast tool for sorting out problematic frequencies. It has lovely-sounding soft compression and an easy-to-use adjustable gate that greatly simplifies noise reduction.”

Peter Denenberg Producer, Recording & Mixing Engineer

The Spin Doctors, Deep Purple, John Lee Hooker

“Renaissance Channel and Renaissance Axx are my basic “console strip” plugs. I do most of my EQ and compression very quickly with those two. On vocals, I usually combine compression from both. On my master fader I’m constantly experimenting with different combinations of the two plugins.”

RENEGADE EL REY Artist, Writer, Engineer

Big Boi, Big Grams, T.I., Killer Mike

“My go-to plugins for vocals are almost ALWAYS the Renaissance bundle because the compressor doesn’t have to be driven too hard, and I can count on the EQ being crispy and bright. ”
