Plugins for Home Recording Artists and Producers

The plugins bundled with DAWs continue to improve, but they’re only add-ons—not the main attraction. At Waves, we’re passionate about plugins—and Silver’s 16 plugins deliver the pro-level sound quality demanded by Grammy®-winning producers and mix engineers around the world.

Upgrade your setup with these essential processors, and you’ll upgrade your productions and mixes. Silver is the key to delivering more power, creative options, finish, and punch.
