Critic Reviews

Waves Submarine

soundonsound.com

Waves Submarine offers an innovative approach to sub-bass generation with its "Organic ReSynthesis" technology, but it has notable limitations. While it can enhance individual tracks like kick drums and bass guitars, the plugin struggles with full mixes, often introducing unwanted artifacts. Users must pay close attention to input levels to avoid clipping, and decent monitoring is essential to truly appreciate its effects. The sub-bass can sound unnatural when soloed, requiring careful mixing for optimal results. Ultimately, it shines in specific applications but may not deliver the expected results for broader use, making it less versatile than hoped.

Waves Submarine review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Waves Submarine is a powerhouse for adding deep sub-harmonic textures to your tracks, particularly excelling with bass and kick sounds. Its intuitive design and effective frequency targeting make it a breeze to use. However, it lacks envelope control and EQ options, which may limit versatility for some producers. Also, caution is advised when using it on multiple tracks simultaneously, as its low-end capabilities can overwhelm less robust monitoring setups. Overall, it’s a compelling tool for those looking to enhance their low frequencies, but it requires thoughtful application to avoid muddiness.
