Producer Giles Martin on the Waves Abbey Road Studio 3 Plugin
"The Abbey Road Studio 3 plugin is extraordinary. For the first time on headphones, you can feel the field of speakers in front of you and around you. As a bonus, it really sounds like Abbey Road Studio Three, which is absolutely amazing."
Alan Parsons Musician, Producer, Engineer (Alan Parsons Project, Pink Floyd)
“The center image is the thing to crack on headphones—and that’s what this plugin does amazingly well for me. I sat down at the Studio Three control room, switching between the speakers in the room and the plugin on headphones, and I was surprised at how good the plugin was. It opens a new way for mixing on headphones.”
Giles Martin Producer, Composer (The Beatles, Rocketman)
Stellar Acoustics Recreated on Headphones
The Waves Abbey Road Studio 3 plugin is based on precision 360° impulse response measurements of the Studio Three control room, combined with Waves’ pioneering Nx technology for immersive spatial audio.
The plugin recreates in glorious three-dimensional sound over any set of headphones, the same stellar audio qualities that make Studio Three the perfect acoustic environment for music mixing and production. The Abbey Road Studio 3 plugin also delivers full 7.1 and 5.1 surround sound, modeled after the studio’s original surround setup. You can work professionally on surround mixes — using any stereo headphones.
