UPDATE: I've discovered that having this software installed wreaks havoc on Windows 10's audio system, and makes Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos stop functioning. That's...a little frustrating?

Within a day of using the Waves NX software, I had decided to pay the 10 bucks to upgrade the 30 day free trial to the full version.

I had never heard about Waves NX before last week. My new Dell G5 gaming laptop, a computer that I will eventually get around to reviewing, came with the Waves MaxxAudioPro software, essentially a collection of EQ tools. In the corner of the 'dimension' tab was a small link to the Waves NX website.

Waves NX started out as a software package for audio professionals that wanted to have a speaker-like mixing experience on a pair of studio headphones, and they've since adapted it into the consumer version I'm reviewing today.

Waves 12 Complete v WiN 4.82 GB. Waves V12 plugins let you resize your plugins so you can view them more easily.

Okay okay but WHAT IS IT?

It's a true 3D audio solution that combines accurate virtual speaker placements with full 3D head tracking to sell the illusion to your brain and keep the speakers located correctly in the space around you, even when you move.

We turn our heads slightly when we're listening to something, often with little movements that we don't really notice. We shift slightly to hear an interesting detail, or to move our attention to a different part of the screen.

And our brains expect the sound we're hearing to react to this movement.

With traditional headphone listening, and traditional virtual surround algorithms, the channels stay locked in place to our ears. The headphones mimic all the movements our head makes, since they're attached to our head. If you turn all the way to the side, the sound keeps coming from the same fixed points on your head.

This motion problem is the most difficult thing to get around in virtual surround, and it flattens/ruins the effect a little bit. Even if you're not consciously aware of it, the fact that the speakers are fixed in place to your head cheapens the effect for the audio processing centers in your brain.

It makes you aware that the surround isn't 'real.'

Waves NX fixes this problem with head tracking. It locates your head in 3D space, tracks the little movements that you make, and keeps the virtual speakers fixed in place by translating them around the virtual space to match your head movements. Suddenly, you've gone from having speakers fixed to your head to having 'living' speakers in a virtual 3D room.

By default, NX uses data from your webcam to track your head's location in full 3D. It doesn't just rotate the room around you for lateral movement, it translates the room in every direction, accounting for every possible tilt or vertical movement of your head. The webcam tracking is pretty good and depending on the buffer setting you use, the CPU hit is minor.
