It is used in mixing (and pre-mix) to add color to individual tracks (drums, vocals, guitars, synths) and buses (drum bus, music bus, master bus), with a very musical approach that goes beyond simple digital summing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRealistic summing through Channel + Bus interaction\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNLS is based on a key principle: the color does not come solely from an isolated \"channel,\" but also from how audio paths combine at the summing stage. The \u003cstrong\u003eNLS Channel\u003c\/strong\u003e module replicates the behavior of channel preamps, while \u003cstrong\u003eNLS Bus\u003c\/strong\u003e models the bus amplifiers. By combining them, you get a more credible and lively signature, with that famous mix effect that \"breathes\" and gains depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThree console signatures, freely mixable\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepending on the desired aesthetic, you can choose one of the three consoles and even \u003cstrong\u003emix consoles\u003c\/strong\u003e within the same project: one color on drum mics, another on guitars, another on vocals or keyboards. Unlike hardware, NLS allows assigning any console to any channel or bus, making it a very flexible tool to sculpt the sonic identity of a mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChannel variations and saturation control\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach console has been modeled on \u003cstrong\u003e32 individual channels\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve small behavioral differences between channels, essential to regain the feel of a real console. The \u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e control allows adjusting harmonic distortion, from subtle wear to more pronounced saturation. You can also select a cleaner \u003cstrong\u003eline in\u003c\/strong\u003e input for clarity, or push an input inspired by the \u003cstrong\u003emic preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e to thicken and emphasize the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eGroups, VCA, and automation: a true console workflow\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo keep a mix clear, the interface allows grouping your instances into \u003cstrong\u003e8 groups\u003c\/strong\u003e and applying global settings with a single gesture. NLS also includes \u003cstrong\u003eautomatable VCA groups\u003c\/strong\u003e: handy for controlling instrument families like on a console, even if your DAW doesn't natively offer this type of control. Ideal for clean level rides, chorus builds, or quick balance adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAnalog hiss (optional) for more authenticity\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo push realism further, NLS can add (or not) a \u003cstrong\u003elight modeled hiss\u003c\/strong\u003e. This way, you keep the choice between faithful analog behavior reproduction and a completely silent approach depending on the musical style, track dynamics, and mastering constraints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFull software\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownloadable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emacOS Catalina 10.15, Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eWindows 10 64 bit, Windows 11\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Waves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360478482707,"sku":"399641","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/e5f66651d10f54d82b194014507150837e6c9035_WAVES_1178_2934.jpg?v=1792614487","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/waves-nls-non-linear-summer-399641","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
