Waves MaxxBass Plugin

When you need to seriously pump up your lows, choose MaxxBass, the bass enhancement technology used on more hit records and major motion pictures than any other. MaxxBass uses psycho-acoustics to calculate precise harmonics that are related to the fundamental tones of sound. When these harmonics are combined, it creates the effect of lower, deeper frequencies. For bass you can really feel, it's got to be MaxxBass.

Waves MaxxBass Plugin Features

• Extends perceived bass response by up to 1.5 octaves
