Better Mixes-Anytime, Anywhere

Sometimes, headphones are your most convenient monitoring option. But mixing on headphones can be unreliable: you might easily add too much ambient reverb, or too much low end, etc. Nx Germano corrects the inherent limitations of the headphone experience, so you can create mixes that will translate perfectly to any system.

Mix in a Legendary Control Room

Giants from Stevie Wonder, the Rolling Stones, and Notorious B.I.G. to Kendrick Lamar have had their music recorded and mixed in New York City’s Hit Factory, later renamed Germano Studios. Now you have access to a three-dimensional replication of this stellar mixing space.

Accurate Acoustics and Low End Response

The Germano/Hit Factory rooms have been known for their power, punch, and club-worthy low end response. The Nx Germano plugin brings these acoustic qualities to headphones, thanks to precision acoustic measurements of the Germano control room, coupled with Waves Nx® immersive audio technology.
