Waves’ Tony Maserati Artist Signature Collection Expands With New Plug-Ins

The Tony Maserati “Artist Signature Collection” from Waves now features a new GRP Group Processor, Insert/Send mode for plug-ins and dozens of new presets, all custom-engineered by Waves and Maserati (Jason Mraz, Kid Sister, Beyonce, John Legend).

The Maserati Group plug-in

The brand-new, seventh plug-in in the collection, GRP is designed for instrument submix groups. The Maserati GRP includes various dedicated modes such as Guitars, Backing Vocals, Live Drums and more. Here’s what Maserati says about it:

“The Maserati GRP plug-in is meant to help that final blend jump out. It’s got a nice bit of equalization involved but no effects, no shredders, none of that kind of thing. In fact, the compression that I’m using in the network there is very, very subtle, because generally I don’t do major compression over my groups. It’s meant to add a nice sheen on a great blend of background vocals or compress a drum kit together, make it really feel like it’s got some nice air to it.”

Additionally, the updated Collection features an added Insert/Send mode — the VX1 Vocal Enhancer, GTi Guitar Toner, B72 Bass Phattener and ACG Acoustic Guitar Designer now all feature both Insert and Send modes. This new function allows users to utilize the effects section of the Collection’s plugins without direct processing. This presents two advantages, as Waves describes: First, users now have access to Maserati’s personally designed effects detached from the direct processing if they so wish. Second, it allows users to share resources, applying an effect to several tracks rather than opening a plugin on each track, saving computer processing power and simplifying workflow.

Finally, the Collection now features dozens of new presets created by Tony himself, as well as other engineers, making the Waves Tony Maserati Artist Signature Collection deliver an even wider palette of processing choices faster than ever.
