Waves Diamond - Comprehensive Effects Bundle | Beyond Platinum, Defining a New Standard for Professional Mixing and Mastering

Waves Diamond is the ultimate toolkit coveted by music producers, mixing engineers, and post-production specialists worldwide. It includes all the classic effects from the acclaimed Platinum bundle and builds upon this solid foundation by adding more sophisticated mastering tools, sound design modules, and professional-grade audio repair and restoration functions.

Furthermore, the complete X-series of audio restoration plugins (including X-Noise, X-Hum, X-Click, and X-Crackle) allows you to effortlessly remove various noise artifacts from your recordings. Not to mention the NLS Summing plugin, which emulates the sonic character of classic analog consoles, and the highly creative OneKnob Filter.
