Waves Retro Fi

Travel back in time, then bring the sound and vibe back with you. Or, discover past treasures, with the degraded sound from decades of neglect. Retro-Fi remembers when hiss, surface noise, hum, color, wobble, and noise were part of audio—and by embracing the past, animates the present.

Spark real life in your track: Whether you want to add vintage charms to modern music, or push lo-fi sounds to the furthest edge of experimental hardcore—meet Retro Fi.
