New Music Gear Monday: Waves eMo D5 Dynamics Plugin

Most of the time we use signal processors like EQ, compressors, gates and de-essers in a serial fashion, meaning that the signal goes through the first one placed in the signal path, which processes the signal and sends it to the second processor, and so on. Waves has changed that with their new eMo D5 dynamics processor, which uses their new Parallel Detection technology to trigger all of the processors simultaneously.

The eMo D5 contains 5 processors in one plugin - a gate, leveler, de-esser, compressor and limiter. By triggering them all at the same time instead of sequentially, the user is provided with a lot more control without over-processing or over-compressing. All processors are available via a single interface screen, as you can see via the graphic on the left.

The plugin has zero latency, so it's perfect for use in a live situation as well as the studio. Plus, it has low CPU consumption so that you can use a bunch of them on a mix without running out of horsepower.

The Waves eMo D5 Dynamics plugin retails for $299, but is currently on sale with a introductory price of $149. Find out more information on the Waves website or check out the video below.
