Waves Magma Tube Channel Strip (Download)
Whatever you run through it—just sounds BETTER
Product Description
Sculpt your tracks with the rich, textured analog tube Magma sound—now available in a full channel strip, covering your most crucial mixing needs: compression/gating, EQ, and saturation.
Magma Channel is built for speed: just a few no-nonsense knobs, carefully designed to hit a sweet spot no matter where you turn them—so you can quickly add warmth, depth, dimension, and silky richness to any vocal, instrument or bus.
The Most Authentic Analog Sound Yet
The Magma Channel is modeled on the detailed circuit behavior of carefully selected vintage valve tube hardware, using the same Waves True Valve Modeling technology that was utilized to create the massively successful BB Tubes plugin.
A New Standard for Tube Saturation
Add timeless tube warmth going from subtle saturation to full-on harmonic distortion, with a unique, in-your-face, soft clipping sound that makes everything jump out of the speakers.
Shape Your Tone with Rich Musical EQ
Magma’s streamlined EQ section allows quick tone shaping—don’t worry about numbers, just trust your ears. The EQ section includes High and Low shelves, plus a Mid wide bell knob with sweepable frequency control.
Vitalize Your Tracks with Pure Analog Pump
The single-knob compressor goes from gentle glue to full aggressive pump. Turn SMASH on for extra explosiveness, with a higher compression ratio and quick attack and release. The expander/gate will help you get a tighter sound with greater focus and clarity.
Over 450 Presets by Grammy Winners
Magma Channel comes with over 450 artist presets by some of the top producers and mixing engineers in the world, including Jacquire King, Greg Wells, Joe Chiccarelli, Lu Diaz, Neal H Pogue, Matt Schaeffer, Jeff Ellis, and dozens more.
