Waves Abbey Road Collection
Since stereo was patented at Abbey Road in 1933, Abbey Road Studios have introduced multiple innovations in recording technology and defined the art of music production.
The studios’ impressive history includes celebrated work by The Beatles, Frank Ocean, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Kate Bush, Lady Gaga, Oasis, Sam Smith, Amy Winehouse, Adele, and countless more, as well as scores to films from Star Wars movies and Raiders of the Lost Arc to The Lord of the Rings, Black Panther, Tar, and Avengers: Endgame.
The Abbey Road Collection faithfully recreates the studio’s legendary raw signal path—tape, preamps, consoles, compressors, vocal effects, reverbs, saturation, microphones, all the way to the studios’ vinyl cutting gear and complete mastering chain.
Developed with Abbey Road Studios, with painstaking attention to detail and accuracy, this outstanding collection isn’t a just a tribute to musical history—it brings unique sonic edge to today’s productions.
The Power of Authentic Analog Tape
The J37 tape machine was the centerpiece of Abbey Road’s recording process. Detailed modeling has captured its distinctive warmth and character, as well as different tape formulations, speeds, and bias settings.
The Complete Abbey Road Mastering Chain
The modular TG Mastering Chain has been an integral part of Abbey Road’s mastering suites since the 70s. From Pink Floyd to Nirvana to Ed Sheeran, this has been the secret ingredient that adds coherence and authority to any mix.
Legendary Reverbs: Chambers to Plates
Abbey Road’s plate and chamber reverbs are instantly recognizable for their depth and warmth, as well as for their haunting qualities on classic vocal performances—most famously John Lennon’s vocal on the Beatles’ “A Day in the Life.” You get all these reverb flavors in the Abbey Road Collection.
Ultra-Rare Gear: Saturation, Compression and EQ
ADT: The Vocal Effect Created for John Lennon
The Abbey Road Collection includes Reel ADT—a precise emulation the tape-based vocal doubling effect, originally invented to allow John Lennon to double-track his vocals automatically. Create richer, thicker, more textured vocal takes with this faithful modeling of the immediately recognizable effect.
The Vinyl Time Machine
Bring back the sound of yesterday—and today: this precise model of Abbey Road’s vinyl cutting and playback gear gives your music the vintage warmth of vinyl records, played on classic turntables, using classic styluses.
Classic Console Channel Strips
From the tube-powered REDD desks that recorded the Beatles in the 1960s, to the solid-state TG12345 that powered the Beatles’ Abbey Road and Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon, Abbey Road’s consoles have seen it all. Their carefully curated EQ controls, and brilliant dynamics processing, were key to forging the sound of rock and pop’s greatest classics.
