Immersive Wrapper is an innovative tool that transforms Waves mono plugins into immersive multichannel processors. This helps solves the bus processing problem when mixing music for ATMOS and other immersive formats. Now you can create immersive bus processing setups in multichannel/object-based mixes, using your favorite Waves plugins—complete with a shared internal sidechain system for mix-wide dynamics processing.

• Solves the Immersive Bus Processing Problem: One of the biggest challenges in mixing for immersive formats such as ATMOS is the lack of a central bus. Immersive Wrapper finally enables bus processing in immersive mixing, allowing you to shape the entire mix in a single place and achieve cohesive, glued sounds akin to stereo mixes.
• Vast Waves Plugin Catalog Now Immersive-Ready: For the first time, Immersive Wrapper makes Waves’ extensive plugin catalog fully available for immersive mixing with a fast, convenient workflow. This means you can use the same trusted tools from your stereo mixes for flexible, no-compromise immersive usage.
• Flexible Multi-Mono Configuration: The Immersive Wrapper plugin can host any mono-to-mono Waves plugin, supporting any channel configuration from mono through 7.1.2 all the way up to 9.1.6. It opens the mono plugin across all channels in a multichannel track in a ‘multi-mono’ setup.
• Streamlined Workflow with Global Groups and Linking: All mono instances of the plugin across beds and objects can be control-linked to work as a single plugin. This linking is flexible, allowing you to link and unlink specific groups (like surrounds or tops) and preserve relative control positions for maximum control and precision—all with a single click. The ‘Global Group’ feature further expands this by enabling control linking and shared sidechains across multiple instances of Immersive Wrapper on different tracks, providing an ultimate bus processing workflow in object-based immersive mixes with ease.
• Shared Sidechains for Mix-Wide Compression: For dynamics plugins that allow sidechaining, Immersive Wrapper lets you share internal sidechains across all beds and objects, enabling you to glue your immersive mix with bus compression quickly and easily. You can share up to 6 independent sidechain mixes across tracks, control each channel or group over the received sidechain, and even integrate your DAW’s External Key feature.
• Developed with Leading Immersive Mixing Engineers: Immersive Wrapper was developed in collaboration with acclaimed audio engineers Hans-Martin Buff (Peter Gabriel, Prince) and Yaron Fuchs (John Mayer, Herbie Hancock), who are leaders in the ATMOS mixing realm. Their workflows and deep understanding of immersive audio needs have shaped this tool.
• Broad Channel Configuration Support: It supports all standard track types used in immersive mixes, including mono and stereo for objects, 7.1.2 for standard ATMOS beds, and up to 9.1.6 for advanced workflows. It also supports less common LCR, Quad, and 6.0 formats, plus all variations of 5.1, 7.1, and 9.1 surround tracks for maximum flexibility and compatibility.
