The NLS channel plug-in can also emulate the distortion created by sending a line-level signal through a console mic preamp and cranking the level — still a popular mixing trick — and in this scenario, the Channel plug-in should be put on the first insert. (32 votes) StereoChannel is a stereo tool and VU meter with basic console channel controls. Insert StereoChannel on your stereo tracks to monitor the left, right, middle and side levels as well as phase correlation. This tool also gives you the ability to adjust the L/R and M/S balance.
Waves, together with three of today's top producer / engineers, is proud to present the NLS Non-Linear Summer: Three legendary consoles – in one powerful plugin. - The 'magical' solid state console belonging to Mark ´Spike´ Stent (Björk, Muse, Maroon 5, Madonna).
- The classic console owned by Mike Hedges (The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Dido, Faithless, Manic Street Preachers, U2), heard on such timeless recordings as Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon.
- The vintage British console customized for Yoad Nevo (Bryan Adams, Pet Shop Boys, Sugababes, Goldfrapp, Air).
NLS delivers the richness, depth, and harmonic complexity that only analog gear could deliver – until now.

Waves Audio is now shipping its NLS Non-Linear Summer, which delivers the sound of three classic consoles in one powerful plugin. To create NLS, Waves joined forces with three of today’s leading producer / engineers Mark ´Spike´ Stent, Mike Hedges and Yoad Nevo – modeling their rare mixing desks.
Waves NLS Non-Linear Summing Plugin recreates the sound of:
# The “magical” solid state console belonging to Mark “Spike” Stent (Radiohead, Björk, Muse, Maroon 5, Madonna).
# The classic console owned by Mike Hedges (The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Dido, Faithless, Manic Street Preachers, U2), heard on such timeless recordings as Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon.
# The British console customized for Yoad Nevo (Bryan Adams, Pet Shop Boys, Sugababes, Goldfrapp, Air).

# The British console customized for Yoad Nevo (Bryan Adams, Pet Shop Boys, Sugababes, Goldfrapp, Air).
In the creation of this plugin, Waves meticulously modeled over 100 individual channels in all, painstakingly analyzing and recreating the distinctive color, character, and behavior of each and every input and summing bus amp. Waves NLS delivers to the digital realm the depth and richness that has long been associated exclusively with analog gear.
