Nx Ocean Way Nashville is powered by Waves’ pioneering Nx technology for immersive spatial audio. You can better judge mix depth, panning, reverb placement and amount, low-end response and more – over any pair of headphones. With Nx Ocean Way Nashville inserted on the master bus of your session, you have the ultimate acoustic reference environment over any headphone model. However, headphones are notoriously challenging when it comes to critical decisions about stereo image, mix depth, low-end frequencies, and more. Given the acoustics of an untreated mix room, headphone monitoring is often a necessity.

Producers and engineers, even at higher levels of the profession, do not always have regular access to a high-end professional mix room. Mixing on headphones has become increasingly popular in recent years. Ocean Way Nashville’s spacious control rooms combine unusually large “sweet spots,” resulting from the rooms’ construction specs, with the Allen Sides-designed Ocean Way Audio HR1 and HR5 monitors, built for even dispersion across the room.Ĭlosely supervised by Allen Sides himself, the Waves Nx Ocean Way Nashville plugin delivers – over any set of headphones – faithful representations of the control room’s finely tuned acoustics, as experienced through the Ocean Way Audio HR1 and HR5 far-field and near-field monitors. The studios’ control rooms in particular are designed to provide an accurate acoustic response that translates seamlessly to other listening conditions.


Designed from the ground up by Ocean Way founder Allen Sides, the studios (now owned by Belmont University) were painstakingly planned and built to meet his vision of the ultimate recording, mixing and monitoring environment. Ocean Way Nashville Studios are considered the pinnacle of acoustic design and studio monitoring – an audiophile sound engineer’s dream. Mixes monitored on headphones through the Nx Ocean Way Nashville plugin will translate accurately to multiple audio systems and platforms – without the issues that often plague mixes created on headphones. With Nx Ocean Way Nashville, producers and engineers can create better mixes, anywhere, anytime, using their favorite reference headphones.
