Waves Audio let us know that Gems, a collection of creative effects, each designed with a unique sonic signature, available in Waves Creative Access.
Each ‘Gem’ includes a few simple intuitive controls that let you shape vocals, create motion in instruments, add character to drums, and more.
At launch, the collection includes 10 Gems: five included in Waves Essential, and all ten included in Waves Ultimate.
Here’s what they have to say about the Gems in both Waves Essential and Waves Ultimate:
