ProAudio Review - March 2009 - (Page 31) Product Points Can quickly provide production-ready, high-quality sounds Easy to use Cuts tracks through dense mixes Saves resources by offering a built-in effects chain Fast Facts Applications Studio; project studio; post production Key Features Six, native-only, application-specific plug-ins designed in conjunction with Tony Maserati; covers bass, vocals, guitars, drums, and more; supports automation, full recall and resolutions up to 96 kHz Price $800 list (Native only) Contact Waves | 865-909-9200 | www.waves.com Would like to see more tempo-based FX offerings and parameter information Somewhat pricey No TDM version The Maserati Collection is not your ordinary Waves bundle. Score instrument (or voice). The Modal setting adds a slight chorused/verb that can be altered with the Size, Amount, Sensitivity, and Spread knobs. In Bounce mode, you’re offered up DLY Mix, Size, Presence, Tempo, Output, FX, and Wet. Also, there’s a Sync slider that allows you to synchronize to session tempo. Believe me, put this on a lap-steel-type track, and it’s game on! DRM Drum Slammer DRM has buttons for BD (Bass Drum), SNR Top, SNR Bot, HH, Toms, OH, and Room. There are just a few knobs: Sensitivity, Thump (for low frequencies), Snap, Treble, and Output. Applying it across a kit certainly gave it presence, punch and, again, a nice sense of compression. I especially liked what it did for kick drums and room mics. Overall Thoughts I like this bundle. It can help punch up mixes, especially for those with LE-type rigs and limited resources. It’s simple enough to just dial up sounds without too much thought, and flexible enough to tweak as needed. Sure, it’s not the right call on every track and is kind of pricey at $800, but it has its place, without a doubt.
