Waves Renaissance Bass

When people listen to music over computer speakers and earbuds, the bass gets lost—and with it, we lose the power that bass brings to any music. Renaissance Bass enables you to deliver rich bass even over the smallest playback systems—with a super-easy interface.

Based on psychoacoustic studies into how ears perceive bass, Renaissance Bass creates harmonics that convince the ear it’s hearing deeper bass than what actually exists—and hearing is believing.

Enhance Playback on Smaller Speakers

The secret: Renaissance Bass creates harmonics that the ear interprets as being caused by the bass sound that would create those harmonics. This causes your brain to believe that the bass sound actually exists.

From Tracks to Masters

Renaissance Bass doesn’t generate subharmonics, it just sounds like it does. This allows bass enhancement for individual instruments, buses, or even masters, with minimal headroom reduction.

Uncomplicated Operation

Choose the approximate fundamental frequency of the audio’s bass, set the desired intensity, and then balance the original bass sound with the enhanced bass. Amazingly, even a little enhancement works its magic.

Helpful Metering

There’s metering for the original bass level, the intensity of the generated harmonics, and an output meter (with peak hold and clipping indicator) for easy gain-staging and A/B comparisons.

Features:

1. Unlike EQ, Renaissance Bass doesn’t muddy the sound
2. Balance the original and enhanced bass sounds
3. Clip protection simplifies gain-staging
4. Adds bottom to a mix without losing headroom
5. Use on individual tracks, or entire mixes
6. Gives the bass more power in hip hop and dance/club productions
