Waves Greg Wells Signature Series
  

The Quick Path to Polished Vocals, Lush Keys, and Finished Mixes

Grammy®-winning producer/mixer Greg Wells has songs on over 130 million album units sold: his clients include Adele, Ariane Grande, Dua Lipa, John Legend, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Timbaland, and many more. Now you can benefit from his expertise to take your mixes to new heights—simply by turning a knob.

From better vocals, to luscious keyboards and pianos, to giving your final mix that polished, truly finished sound, these easy-to-use plugins are the answer.

Polish Your Vocals in a Flash

VoiceCentric gives you Greg Wells’ signature vocal sound in seconds—his complete chain for vocalists from Ariana Grande to Dua Lipa, combining his EQ, de-essing and two flavors of compression in one knob, plus additional easy controls for his custom vocal delay, doubling, and reverb effects.

Finalize Your Mixes & Masters Quickly

MixCentric enables you to put the finishing touch on your tracks—quickly. The single knob combines Greg’s custom mix bus compression, subtle harmonic distortion, and EQ providing gentle upper mid- and low-end lifts. Just turn the single knob, and you’ll hear your entire mix come to life in seconds.

Improve the Tone of Any Track

ToneCentric is all about the sweet, magical, “singing” overtones of tube-based analog gear. Simply turn one knob to wrap your sound in warmth and depth—from individual tracks, to complete masters.

Bring Your Keyboards to Life

An accomplished keyboard player, Greg Wells is renowned for his touch on piano/keyboard-centered productions. PianoCentric’s main control will enable you to bring your keys to life, fast, with versatile tones from bright and punchy, to dark, filtered and lo-fi.

Features

  • Created with Grammy®-winning producer/mixer Greg Wells
  • Each plugin captures complete mix chains in just one main knob
  • Includes plugins for vocals, keyboards, and your entire mix
