In addition, I used Nx in the control room during my tracking session so I could have the same monitoring experience as the musicians. 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. Russ adds, “I used the Nx plugin and Nx Head Tracker with vocalists recording in my studio without telling them what it was. In my experience of tracking with Nx, vocalists are able to hear pitch better, bass players are able to hear the air of the bass tone, even when recording direct, and drummers are able to lock with the other musicians better. “Every musician I’ve used Nx with, without exception, commented on hearing more detail in regards to their own instrument as well as the other instruments in comparison to other tracking scenarios. It creates a more musical recording experience by allowing the musicians to interact with their instruments and with each other, without feeling any restrictions from headphones.

Waves Nx virtually removes the constraints of headphones, allowing musicians and vocalists to reach their full creative and technical potential. “In many instances, headphones are the only element in a tracking session that impede the creative process rather than improve it. Producer/engineer Russ Long (Dolly Parton, Sixpence None the Richer, Wilco, Chris Tomlin) comments on his experience recording with Waves Nx:

Also, since vocalists are often not accustomed to hearing themselves through headphones, Nx makes them feel comfortable and helps them to stay in tune. This contributes to an overall more natural vocal performance while also reducing the potential for out-of-tune singing. When recording vocals in particular, Nx helps the vocalist perform better by reducing the effect of hearing their inner voice, in that it moves the sound from inside the head to the outside – thus staying true to how the singer is used to hearing and perceiving his or her voice in playback. This provides a better recording experience, as the musicians enjoy a more open, uncongested mix, with greater detail and clarity, and can deliver great performances more easily.Ĭheck out the video below to see Nx in action during a live tracking session in Nashville new Music Row. With Nx, recording engineers can provide the musicians with clearer, more open headphone mixes that spread across the full three-dimensional audio spectrum, as if you were listening to monitors in a real room. Having the right headphone monitor mix is often what separates an average recording session from a great one. Alternatively, two (or more) mixing engineers can now use Nx to mix together on headphones.

This allows as many as six musicians (or five musicians and one engineer) to hear Nx simultaneously in their headphones while recording.
