Nx Ocean Way Nashville recreates the acoustics and monitoring of the Ocean Way Nashville control rooms on any headphones – for mixes that translate to speakers.

Supervised by Ocean Way founder Allen Sides, the plugin uses Waves Nx technology with channel crosstalk, inter-aural time and level differences, early reflections and measurements of the real control rooms. You can listen through the HR5 near-fields or the HR1 far-fields, and EQ correction based on the Harman target curve compensates for over 270 headphone models. Ambience amount, head measurements and optional head tracking via webcam or the separately available Nx Head Tracker personalise playback.
