As a result of the collaboration, Lawo's mc²36 all-in-one console now provides extensive real-time signal processing in addition to its internal processing engine. The system gives operators access to Waves' comprehensive plug-in library, allowing them to conveniently control reverbs, multi-tap delays, graphic equalizers and multiband compressors directly via the console's keyboard and touch-screen. No additional monitors or controls are needed - which results in a clean working space and less external hardware. All plug-in settings can be easily stored and recalled with the console's snapshots.
