Waves Submarine

Waves Submarine - Digital Download | The Ultimate Subharmonic Generator, Unleash Unparalleled Deep Bass

Are you looking for a way to bring unprecedented depth and impact to your mixes? Waves Submarine is the ultimate solution you've been searching for. This powerful sub-bass enhancement processor is designed for music producers, mixing engineers, and sound designers who need extreme low-frequency extension. Whether you want to add weight to your kick drums, make EDM basslines shake the floor, or create earth-shattering effects for film sound, Submarine provides everything you need. It's not just a simple bass booster; it's a sophisticated subharmonic generator that adds clean, clear, and highly musical sub-bass content to your audio.

Traditional low-end processing tools, like EQs or saturators, often introduce unwanted muddiness, phase issues, or distortion when boosting bass. Waves Submarine changes all that with its exclusive Organic ReSynthesis (ORS) technology. It precisely analyzes the pitch, formants, and amplitude envelope of the original audio and uses this information to generate new subharmonics one and even two octaves below the source. This process ensures the generated sub-bass blends perfectly with the original sound while maintaining crystal-clear audio quality. This means you can achieve a deep, powerful, and solid low-frequency foundation without the side effects of traditional low-end processing tools. From now on, your mixes will have a rock-solid foundation, delivering exceptional clarity and punch on any large sound system, making it an indispensable mixing tool in your workflow.

Core Advantages & Use Cases

Exclusive Organic ReSynthesis Technology
At the heart of Submarine is Waves' exclusive Organic ReSynthesis (ORS) technology. It doesn't simply duplicate or equalize low frequencies; instead, it precisely isolates the pitch, formants, and dynamic characteristics of the original audio and uses them as a blueprint to "re-synthesize" new, extremely low-frequency subharmonics. This technology ensures the generated bass is exceptionally clean, completely avoiding the muddiness, phase distortion, and annoying rumble common with traditional low-end enhancers.

Incredible Depth Down to Two Octaves Below
Submarine can generate subharmonics not just one octave down, but can dive even deeper to the sub-bass realm two octaves below. This opens up immense possibilities for your sound design. Whether you need to add physical weight to an 808 kick or create earth-shaking effects for a sci-fi movie explosion, Submarine makes it easy, providing unparalleled low-frequency extension.

Born for LFE Channels and Large Sound Systems
For film post-production and electronic music that requires a massive live sound, Submarine is the perfect tool for processing the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. You can apply it to an effects bus to inject powerful sub-bass energy into the entire mix without muddying the clarity of other frequency bands. Its selectable mono (Mono LFE) output mode can focus all low-frequency energy in the center, creating a tighter, more impactful listening experience.

Precise and Intuitive Tonal Shaping
Submarine offers a full suite of tonal control options, allowing you to meticulously sculpt the desired low-frequency characteristics. Use the "Range" parameter to select the frequency range to be processed, precisely targeting specific instruments; adjust the tightness or looseness of the bass with "Dynamics"; and use "Drive" to add warm saturation to the generated subharmonics, helping them "glue" perfectly into the original mix.

Suitable for Diverse Music Styles and Sound Design
From Hip-Hop, EDM, and Trap to Pop and Rock, any music genre that needs a powerful low-end foundation can benefit from Submarine. It can make kick drums punchier, basslines deeper, and the entire mix's foundation more solid. At the same time, it's a secret weapon for sound designers, capable of easily creating huge, larger-than-life sound effects.
