Also, since its release in November 2006, Waves Live Bundle has been used extensively with Digidesign's Venue consoles. Prominent Pennsylvania-based A/V contractor Clair Brothers owns and uses Waves Live Bundle, SSL 4000 for Live and MaxxBCL for high-profile concerts. FOH engineers Mick Hughes (Metallica, Led Zeppelin), Ken Van Druten (Linkin Park, System of a Down, Guns N' Roses), Phil Strong (Kanye West), Cirque du Soleil's Jonathan Deans and Leon Rothenbergcurrently use Waves processing in all sectors.
Alex Hadjigeorgiou, of UK-based Wigwam Acoustics comments: "Within my capacity as technical specialist at Wigwam Acoustics, I have been responsible for preparing a large number of Digidesign D-Show systems before they leave for world tours. I have come across Waves Live plug-ins a number of times. They appear to be the high-end plug-in of choice for a number of the top engineers. I know of at least four world stadium tours that are currently utilizing the Live bundle."
As part of the new division's product initiatives, over 50 of Waves' most popular plug-ins are now compatible with Digidesign's D-Show platform, using the new Waves D-Show Enabler. Waves TDM plug-in bundles like the SSL 4000 Collection, V-Series, The API Collection, MaxxVolume, and more are now available for use in live sound.
