Wave Arts is an American audio software company founded in 1998 by Dr. Bill Gardner, a Ph.D. graduate of the MIT Media Lab who previously spent seven years developing software and signal processing algorithms at Kurzweil Music Systems. Based in Arlington, Massachusetts, the company develops professional audio plug-ins for digital audio workstations, covering mixing, mastering, audio restoration, and sound design.

Wave Arts' product lineup includes TrackPlug, an all-in-one channel strip combining EQ, dynamics, and tube saturation; Panorama, a virtual acoustics processor that uses HRTF-based 3D audio and room modeling technology; MasterVerb, a versatile algorithmic reverb; and Convology XT, a free convolution reverb bundled with vintage impulse responses. Their catalog also features FinalPlug for peak limiting and loudness metering, MultiDynamics for multi-band dynamics processing, Tube Saturator 2 for circuit-modeled tube amp distortion, and Dialog for spoken-voice cleanup and sweetening. The Master Restoration Suite (MR Noise, MR Hum, MR Click, MR Gate) provides dedicated tools for cleaning up tape, vinyl, and acoustic recordings.

Beyond music production, Wave Arts licenses its audio processing algorithms to the gaming industry — their technology powers audio features in 2K Sports' NBA 2K franchise. Dr. Gardner is a published researcher in reverberation and 3D audio processing and a member of the Audio Engineering Society.
