“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.”

“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.”
