Waves LoAir

What Waves LoAir Is For

Waves LoAir is used to add energy in the extreme low end by generating a sub-octave from your signal, to achieve a more impressive and "cinematic" low-end. It suits both the needs of post-production (sound design, ambiences, impacts, explosions, LFE) and modern music productions where the low spectrum must be powerful, clean, and controlled, especially in hip-hop, electro, pop, and urban music.

Whether you want to add more weight to a kick drum, reinforce the fundamental of a bass, add body to thin vocals, or modernize a remix with a more contemporary foundation, LoAir allows you to sculpt audible and felt subs while maintaining fine control over the overall mix balance.

Main Features

Subharmonic and Lower Octave Generation

LoAir analyzes the sound material and can filter polyphonic content, then lower it by one octave to produce deeper bass. This approach is particularly useful when the original signal lacks solid fundamentals in the low spectrum or when you want to transform a sound to make it more massive without simply boosting bass EQ.

Control Over Sub Character

To go from subtle reinforcement to bass that can fill the room, LoAir offers direct and musical controls: choice of filtering range, adjustment of the filtered signal level, management of the sub-octave level, and balancing the ratio between the original sound and the generated sub. This results in bass that integrates into the mix rather than overpowering it.

Modern Mixes, Remixes, and Low-End Consistency

In styles where the low end must remain firm and clear, LoAir helps build a solid foundation under bass and drums while preserving definition. It is also an effective tool to upgrade remixes: you can achieve a more current low-end aesthetic with better-controlled depth.

Designed for Surround, Ready for LFE

Born for multichannel, LoAir simplifies work in surround environments thanks to its dedicated components. Whether you need to convert 5.0 to 5.1 with a quality LFE or stay within 5.1 to 5.1 refining the foundation, the plugin provides the necessary streams for clean integration into a post-production chain.
