Sound on Sound have produced another video of Waves demoing yet another new plug-in…
Billed as “the first in a new line of dedicated Waves Post Production tools”, WNS Noise Suppressor handles real-time noise reduction across six bands. Designed for dialogue post-production, the plug-in purports to detect and remove both constant and modulating environment noise. Joining WNS in the post-production category, LoAir is intended for use in 5.1 mixing, generating and enhancing sub-sonic LFE (low frequency effect) content from an mono, stereo, 5.0 or 5.1 source This is one of the many plug-ins designed for post-production that could find a home in music production, especially in genres which demand thunderous bass content, such as hip hop. Multirack is designed as a software solution for front-of-house engineers, providing Waves processing for live mixing. The interface displays channels as effects-chains, and allows an engineer to replace racks of hardware with a laptop and an audio interface.
This is good news as Waves have dropped behind in the noise reduction stakes and this is bound to find a home in more and more audio post houses as we get asked to reduce the background noise on more and more material.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
