Immerse yourself in the legendary acoustics of Ocean Way Nashville with the Waves Nx Ocean Way Nashville plug-in. This innovative tool transforms any pair of studio headphones into a virtual mixing room that captures the essence of Ocean Way's world-renowned control rooms. Whether you're tracking, mixing, or mastering, this plug-in offers an unparalleled auditory experience, allowing you to perceive mix depth, panning, and frequency balance with newfound clarity.

Supervised by Ocean Way founder Allen Sides, the plug-in meticulously emulates the acoustic response and monitoring system of the studio's HR1 and HR5 monitors. It achieves this through Waves' pioneering Nx technology, which utilizes immersive spatial audio techniques to create an authentic three-dimensional soundstage. This technology includes channel crosstalk, inter-aural delays, and early reflections, ensuring that your headphones deliver the most accurate representation of the Ocean Way studio environment.

Ideal for remote mixing, the plug-in enables you to make precise adjustments and decisions, ensuring your mixes translate seamlessly across all audio platforms. Enhance this virtual experience by using the optional Nx Head Tracker, which uses either your webcam or a dedicated Bluetooth device to track head movements, adding a layer of realism to your mixing sessions.
