This is awesome. I wish there was another mode where you can do several car tests so that I don’t have to run to my car. Am I just being greedy now? Lol

[@thesuncollective1475]

I use 3 different headphones ..my car and a Sonus..I'm on my third album..I wasn't impressed with this..it just changed the stereo field..I got the low end covered...its just an extra level on complication I don't need

[@SeanDivine]

the car test is one of the best!

[@paavoilves5416]

Check out Beyerdynamic Virtual Studio. I don't really think it's quite as accurate as this plugin is but it has a couple of different presets and a car is one.

[@audiolego]

You do that too, running to the car? I do too

[@octaviorogers3586]

This is incredible, I did not know that this plugin existed, a few nights ago I dreamed that I recorded Dancehall / trap on Abbey Road🤣🤣

[@Davidsondave7]

Awesome plugin, even without wearing headphones, im listening thru monitor speakers and i can feel difference when he rotates...

[@headfonic7750]

Unbelievably user friendly video. Huge details readily available on couple of clicks on.

[@benwaveproducer]

I love this plugin, since it came out. Thanks for the new tips for the bass mixing.

[@SeanDivine]

🙌

[@Jaredkfjones]

Very cool. You sold me on it. Nice to have these tools in the belt.

[@markmendozamusic]

That plugin is CRAZY. Might pick it up for the fact that I mix 99.9% of the time on headphones haha. Also, random question Sean, any plans for the next mix critique? I got a new record on standby!

[@SeanDivine]

no plans yet but look forward to hearing it Mark! 🙌

[@MobiusMinded]

Camera tracking by it self is so so. Ge5 the NX blue tooth app, a pair of the Senn280Pro headphones (only $99, great specs/build AND have a EQ profile), finally enter your head & ear measurements and the experience is another level over what this ( and all the other reviews I’ve seen) shows.

[@MOHAMMADJAVEDALKHAIRI]

I LIKE IT VERY MUCH ............... GOOD YAR...... NICE FRIEND

[@Phay1k]

Awesome can you do a video on sound selection

Song Name Please , I like the Song

[@SeanDivine]

thanks! TBA, still working on it :)

[@TeaWithWarriorsChnnl]

I've been using this for a couple months now and really like it. But every time I launch Reaper, I have to go into the Studio 3 settings and reselect my head size (which I've saved) from the pulldown. It keeps going back to the default head size settings, even though I created a default preset with my own head size. How do I fix this? Is there something strange about the way Waves does presets?

[@Txmagic]

This is nice

[@AceDeclan]

I think looking to the back attenuates the high end. Not sure if its the BEST thing to do but whatever.

[@danb1942]

FYI the head measurement does NOT take your hat into consideration... maybe ver 2 will have that feature ;)

[@SeanDivine]

😁

[@Randuski]

I love the concept of this, but i hate the head tracking stuff. Every time you load it up, whether you have it disabled or not, it loads a desperate piece of software for head tracking. Plus its harder on my comp, and not very serviceable in my dark environment. I wish i would totally disable it, then it would be amazing

[@SeanDivine]

there's an option to disable head tracking directly in the plugin, click "do not show this message again" on the warning and close the NX window 👍

[@Randuski]

@@SeanDivine does that actually stop the software from launching? cause i was pretty sure i disabled it, but even though it was disabled, it still loaded up the software in the background. Idk maybe i missed a button i was supposed to click, but i couldn't figure out how to make it stop haha

[@squadronbeats2108]

Turn a light on😂

[@dre3404]

Hey Sean, Would you recommend NX Virtual Mix Room or Waves Abbey Road Studio 3? I trying to mix and master in room that isn't conducive for either. I want to mix in headphones and came across this video. Would recommend that I get either of these plugins?

[@beautyler4339]

Also, how hard is the plug-in on CPU?

[@SeanDivine]

so far, I haven't noticed anything heavy 👍

[@beautyler4339]

@@SeanDivine Thanks, homie!

[@gmantera]

that plugin for panning and positioning your instrumen bro... insert to syour instrument and get your best location 3d panning position

[@germanher7528]

Waves doesnt recommend it, they mention posible phasing problems when used on real speakers

[@ephraimwarrior6766]

have y mix with it yet and if so what was the out come

[@MRREVILOable]

Between this Nx abbey and halo upmix. Which one is better

[@8360ishan]

Sir do this plugin calibrate any headphone and give flat response like Abbey roads speaker?

[@SeanDivine]

Waves just added tons of new EQ curves. They're not "flat" like other apps, they use the Harman Target Curve, which takes into account what speakers sound like in their acoustic environment.

[@vijayrams5303]

i am not under stand.. you told this is master bus last plugin ..in export time this plugin keep the master bus are remove ..after apply this plugin can i adjust eq and compress

[@SeanDivine]

Make adjustments prior to NX processing (while monitoring through it) and bypass the plugin before export.

[@Menyuamhmoobmekas]

What kind of headphones do you use bro?

[@SeanDivine]

Still... VST

[@shawnsteven1869]

Hey if anyone can help just got in to these plugins, so would I mono the signal before this plugin in or after? lol

[@SeanDivine]

hey Shawn, are you just wanting to check the mix in mono? if so, just place a mono plugin before going into AR Studio

[@shawnsteven1869]

@@SeanDivine thank you Shall do

[@litty_gangmusik1825]

Is this with the new Logic Update? 10.4.6

[@SeanDivine]

yes

[@ignatius3079]

litty_gang musik yes the Demo was done in the Logic update however, the Abbey Road S3 is not part of Logic.

[@user-lo2hw7vw9f]

what song is in the intro?

[@SeanDivine]

it's called The Start - smarturl.it/NTSAlbum

[@nicholasriley4729]

Did you intentionally leave the vocal tuned this way on purpose with the sharp 6?

[@LilGreatWalltv]

I’m sorry man I can’t hear a difference on my 3 dollar pair of earphones off eBay using my phones earphone audio input.

[@micmacstudiomickgraz2230]

This plugin is a total ripoff, a friend of mine has it and hates it. The turn around effect feels just like a regular pan and the three sets of monitors sound like an eq move. Over the years I got different headphones: Sennheiser HD 25-C totally neutral, Meze 99 a little bass heavy, beats by Dre very bass heavy and Audio -thechnica ATH-T44 very cheap that sounds thin and....cheap. Not to mention a couple of ear buds. All these to compare with my Yamaha HS 80 monitors.

[@raphexe]

try it for yourself before calling it a ripoff. get the demo.

[@matthewward5813]

What do you think different speakers with different frequency ranges are going to do? Lol @ sounds like an eq move... well, duh!

[@hectorheckler6327]

It doesn't beat a good pair of monitor speakers in an optimized room, but if you're like me, living in a place with thin walls next door to people who hates loud music, this plugin could be very useful.

[@AudioReplica2023]

its there anyway I can dial some knobs there virtually? No....🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😂
