WAVERAv1.2

Everything here processes real sound. Press Play for the built-in demo loop, drop in your own track, or paste a YouTube link and capture its tab. Use headphones, then try A / B: the bypass is loudness-matched, so you hear the processing, not extra volume.

Engine idle
Built-in synth loop, 112 BPM. Or drop an audio file anywhere on the console.
Opens the link in a new tab. Then click Capture a tab, pick that tab, and tick Share tab audio. The tab goes quiet and you hear it through WAVERA. Desktop Chrome or Edge only.

Reference: the colour stages (Clarity, Warmth, Punch, Stereo, Flavor) are off. EQ, Night and the limiter stay as set. Headphone and room correction come with the Windows app.

Guide & FAQ

Everything you need to get the best out of WAVERA. Open any item with +.

Getting started
01Start listening

Press Play for the built-in demo loop, click Load a track… (or drop a WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG or M4A file on the console), or play any browser tab with Capture a tab. Headphones show the most detail.

02Set the intensity

WAVERA starts at a gentle 15% so nothing jumps out at you. Drag the outer ring of the orb, or focus it and use the arrow keys. 70% is each preset at full design strength.

03Pick a preset

Music, Film, Mix check or Voice set the EQ, knobs and flavor in one go. Presets never change your intensity.

04Shape the four zones

Drag each zone of the spectrum up or down to boost or cut Bass, Body, Presence and Air (±12 dB). The switches under each zone change the filter's character, for example thick or punchy bass.

05Compare honestly with A / B

A / B bypasses WAVERA at matched loudness, so you hear what the processing does rather than a volume jump. The readout under the orb shows the correction in dB.

06Go deeper in Lab and Reference

Lab shows the whole signal chain; click any module to bypass it. Reference switches off every colour stage for checking mixes. Tune hides the chain for simple listening.

Questions
How do I play a YouTube video through WAVERA?

Paste the link into Play from a link and click Open tab. Start the video, come back, click Capture a tab, choose the YouTube tab and tick Share tab audio. The tab goes quiet and you hear it through WAVERA. This works in desktop Chrome and Edge.

Can it process Spotify, games or all of my PC's sound?

Not from a browser: websites can only process audio they're given. System-wide processing, per-app profiles and ASIO output come with the WAVERA Windows app, followed by macOS and Android.

Is my music uploaded anywhere?

No. Files and captured tabs are processed entirely inside your browser, on your own machine. Nothing is sent to a server.

What do the meters and readouts mean?

LUFS is perceived loudness (momentary, K-weighted, approximate). Sample peak is the highest sample level in dBFS. PLR is peak-to-loudness ratio: higher means more dynamic. Correlation runs from +1 (mono) through 0 (wide) to −1 (out of phase).

What does each control actually do?
Bass / Body / Presence / Air
Biquad EQ. thick = 110 Hz shelf, punchy = 70 Hz peak; gentle = wide 450 Hz peak, warm = 260 Hz shelf; forward = 2.5 kHz peak, smooth = wide 4 kHz peak; silk = 11 kHz shelf, sparkle = 9 kHz peak.
Clarity
Parallel harmonic exciter: content above 3.5 kHz is saturated, high-passed again and blended back in.
Warmth
Tilt: low shelf up at 220 Hz, high shelf down at 4 kHz.
Punch
Compressor with a 25 ms attack, so transients pass before the body is held down.
Space / Dialogue
Mid/side matrix: Space scales the side signal; Dialogue lifts the mid and adds a 2.2 kHz presence peak.
Flavor
Waveshaper at 4× oversampling. Tape = symmetric soft clip, Tube = asymmetric (even harmonics), Vinyl = soft clip plus a 12 kHz roll-off.
Night
Leveller with a low-end trim for quiet listening.
Limiter
Fast compressor at −1.5 dB. A sample-peak safety net; true-peak limiting arrives with the new engine.
Is WAVERA free?

The web preview is free while we test. WAVERA will be freemium: the free version processes 2 minutes at a time and you switch it on again to keep going. WAVERA Pro, with unlimited listening, is coming.

What's coming next?

A new 64-bit engine with true-peak limiting and linear-phase EQ, headphone correction for thousands of models, then the Windows app with system-wide processing, VST3 hosting and neural restoration, followed by plugins, macOS, Android and iOS.
