Waves Audio, the world-leading developer of audio mixing solutions, announcesthe new version of its eMotion LV1 live mixer software, v15. This new version of LV1 software also powers Waves’ new hardware live mixing console, eMotion LV1 Classic. The new v15 version includes various workflow improvements, as well as compatibility with the new Waves eMo IEM software for immersive in-ear mixing, which is now also shipping.
The new Waves eMo IEM enables immersive in-ear mixing via the eMotion LV1 mixer, bringing clarity, openness, and comfort to in-ear monitors in live shows. eMo IEM is a simple software upgrade to LV1: no expensive external hardware or complex routing is needed. Live sound engineers can simply set the LV1 mixer’s monitor output to Immersive, and the performers will receive immersive monitor sound in their in-ears, with the ability to control 360-degree panning on their own via LV1’s mobile apps.
The v15 update of eMotion LV1 includes additional improvements, including workflow enhancements for plugin navigation, channel naming and aux sends and various new features in LV1’s mobile and tablet apps (new flipped landscape mode in the MixTwin tablet apps; more user control in the MyMon personal monitor mixing app; and more).
The new v15 version of LV1 is also the engine running in the recently announced eMotion LV1 Classic live mixing console—the first fully integrated hardware console by Waves. With 64 stereo channels and 44 stereo buses of industry-leading sound, intuitive workflow, 16 onboard Waves Signature Preamps, and powerful Waves processors included with the console, the new Waves eMotion LV1 Classicis ahardware mixing desk that packs more live mixing power in a compact console than ever before.
“With LV1’s new v15 software update and the eMotion LV1 Classic hardware console, we now offer live mixing solutions that combine superior sound and technological innovation with the user-friendly workflows preferred by audio professionals worldwide,” says Noam Raz, General Manager of Waves Live division. “This release demonstrates our team's commitment to addressing the needs and requirements of our clients. We are entering a pivotal chapter of development and we are enthusiastic to be at the forefront of this exciting evolution!”
