Waves has announced Universal versions of its complete line of plug-in products for Intel-based Macs.

With the creation of the new Universal Plug-Ins and the
proliferation of new applications being developed for the Intel-based
Mac systems, Waves users can now take advantage of the advanced
architecture while relying on the same critically acclaimed plug-in
processors used by professionals worldwide.

“Waves is fully behind the new Intel-based Mac platform and
transitioning to Universal applications using Apple tools was easier
than we had expected,” said Waves CEO Gilad Keren. “We will continue
our commitment to the greatest possible compatibility by offering
Universal versions of all our products while continuing to develop next
generation plug-ins for use with all industry standard platforms.”

“The power of Xcode has given Apple developers the opportunity to
quickly and easily deliver native Universal applications for our
blazing fast hardware,” said Ron Okamoto, Apple’s vice president of
Worldwide Developer Relations. “Waves is a premier audio plug-in
developer for the Mac platform so we’re thrilled they are delivering
Universal versions of their entire plug-in suite.”

Waves plug-ins currently support a wide range of digital audio
workstation software, including Pro Tools TDM and LE, Sound Forge,
Acid, Vegas, Sony CD Architect, Audition, Sonar Producer Edition,
Cubase SX, Nuendo, and WaveLab for PC, while also offering Mac-based
users complete compatibility with support for Pro Tools TDM and LE,
Logic, GarageBand, Spark XL, Cubase SX, Nuendo, Peak, and Digital
Performer.

Waves offers the industry’s most comprehensive range of DSP plug-ins
including limiters, equalizers, compressors, effects, pitch correction,
and noise reduction tools used on virtually every top music, movie
soundtrack, and multimedia title worldwide. Registered users of the
Waves Update Plan will have free and immediate access to these
downloadable plug-in updates and a complete care package, offering
