Mix 100% in the Cloud - with Pristine Audio and Unequaled Processing.

Broadcasters and media networks can now augment cloud-based workflows with state-of-the-art audio mixing and processing. Powered by a cloud-based version of Waves’ double-precision, 32-bit-floating-point eMotion LV1 mix engine, Cloud MX integrates with Waves’ acclaimed audio plugins for unprecedented audio processing power in the cloud.

Now you can scale productions to any number of audio mixers, without the costs involved in shipping, maintaining, or scheduling on-premise gear and personnel.

Unequalled Sound Quality
The Waves Cloud MX Audio Mixer is powered by a cloud-based version of Waves' double-precision, 32-bit-floating-point eMotion LV1 mix engine, known throughout the audio industry for its pristine audio. It is also compatible with Waves’ industry-leading portfolio of audio plugins.

Scalable to Fit Your Precise Needs
The Cloud MX system makes it easy to scale productions with any number of audio mixers, without the operational costs involved in shipping, maintaining or scheduling on-premise gear and personnel.

Easy AWS Platform Deployment
Cloud MX fits cleanly into NDI®-based environments, supports easy patching and routing of NDI® audio streams, and deploys easily on AWS—so integration with your cloud production systems is a breeze.

Creative Options = Competitive Edge
Augment your broadcasts with Waves’ acclaimed catalog of audio plugins, the gold standard throughout the audio industry. Run chains of up to eight cloud-licensed plugins on any channel inside the mixer to extend your creative options.

Channel Strip Plugins Included
The Cloud MX package comes with three powerful Waves eMo plugins (eMo D5 Dynamics, eMo F2 Filter, and eMo Q4 Equalizer). These form the mixer’s cloud-optimized channel strip, and provide a fast, smooth workflow with superior sound quality.

Tactile or Touchscreen Control
The mixer’s control options include multiple touchscreen support, and tactile mixing with the Waves FIT controller and/or Mackie/MIDI controllers. Finally, you can enjoy a pro mixing workflow in the cloud, without compromise.
