WAVES SUBMARINE SUB HARMONIC GENERATOR
Bring out the Subs
This is a subharmonic generation plugin powered by
Organic ReSynthesis technology. It features a swanky GUI
and is a new addition to the waves collection of plugins.
Simply put, it adds bass to your tracks. But we already have
a bunch of plugins that do this. Quite a few from Waves
themselves including Maxxbass, RBass and LoAir. This
plugin though, claims to be a little different. It features
-Two subharmonic generators (Sub -1 and Sub -2)
add subs ONE and TWO full octaves below the
selected frequency range of your source
-Frequency Range slider (20–240 Hz) to
target precise frequencies
-Drive saturation control
-Dynamics control to go from short sub
transients to longer sustained sub notes

These options help it to sort of separate itself from the other
‘bass generators’. Primarily, being able to add upto TWO
octaves below opens a range of possibilities. The plugin’s
innovative Organic ReSynthesis engine strips the original
signal down to its core elements – carrier, pitch, formant,
and envelope – processes them individually, and then
reconstructs the audio to create brand new sub frequencies
which retain the exact pitch and time of the original signal.
The result is deep subharmonic content that is clean
and musical and naturally blends with your source.
It can be used to very subtly fill out sounds especially in
delicate situations like mastering and it can also be used to
really help out a kick with some serious thump if needed.
In a way, its much more precise than the others. The
Organic ReSynthesis tech claims to let you add 'powerful
sub-harmonics while preserving the pitch, timing, and
clarity of transients.’ The frequency range selector helps
to really hone in where you need the addition. Also a
personal favourite is the drive knob. This really helps
to glue the subs to the mix without making it seem like
a weird addition by adding upper range harmonics.
This plugin is a lifesaver when a low-end EQ boost won’t
help (because your track lacks low frequencies to begin
with), or where psychoacoustic bass enhancers like Waves’
Renaissance Bass plugin won’t be enough (because they
work their magic on small speakers, not on big subwoofers).
With the Waves Submarine plugin, you can dive as deep
as you want, with better clarity throughout the low end.
