WAVES NX HEAD TRACKER FOR HEADPHONES SOFTWARE
Augments the realism of Nx software for immersive 3D audio Use the Nx Head Tracker along with the Nx 3D audio apps to experience the music, movies and games you love in 3D audio – on your computer, tablet or mobile device, using any set of headphones. Pair the Nx Head Tracker with the Nx Virtual Mix Room or Abbey Road Studio 3 plugin in order to recreate on headphones the spatial acoustics of a high-end room, improving your headphone mixing and recording experience. I’m excited to see where Waves goes with this, but at the current price point it’s already a good value.This small Bluetooth device latches on to your headphones and tracks your head movements in order to augment the immersive spatial audio experience created by Nx technology. I enjoyed the VMR and Head Tracker most wearing my ‘overdubbing musician hat’-I truly felt in the middle of my band while laying down some parts.

From an audio pro standpoint, however, the Virtual Mix Room is a proven win, and the head-tracking unit is priced right to allow for any studio to pick one up and benefit from 3D audio. The standalone NX 3D audio software is yet unreleased, and the whole consumer level of ‘movies, music, and games’ is yet to be seen. Waves promises that future apps and updates will bring more functionality to the head tracker. Finally, multiple users are on the horizon in a future update. The tracking speed is nearly double and much more fluid. You can rotate up to 360 degrees rather than the much narrower 60 degree field of view of a webcam. The CPU consumption is significantly reduced due to the fact that the tracking is taking place in the device instead of on your computer with a webcam. You aren’t tethered to sitting in perfect view of a webcam, for one. Obviously if the plugin already works with the camera, one must ask, ‘Why would I get the device?’ There is actually quite a long list of reasons. I found myself taking my headphones off constantly, in a bit of disbelief that the sound I was hearing wasn’t playing ‘out loud’. Whether you’re a performer, a mix engineer, or both, 3D audio definitely has its place and is worth checking out. While you don’t turn your head much while tracking, of course, even a slight movement creates a sense of realism that can absolutely put you more ‘in the moment’. Imagine the guitarist to your right, then you turn your head a bit, and now the guitarist is right in front of you. If you’ve used a VR headset with 3D audio before for recreation then you know what I’m talking about. VMR can even amp up the performance of a vocalist by making them feel like they are standing in the room with the band when listening to their monitoring mix. It can make a game-changing difference if you find yourself having to mix on headphones. Suffice to say, if you haven’t checked out Virtual Mix Room yet-you definitely owe it to yourself to take it for a spin. We’ve already covered the Virtual Mix Room software, so I won’t completely rehash that here.
