Immersive Wrapper

Immersive Wrapper is an innovative tool that transforms VST3 mono plugins by Waves and other brands into immersive multichannel processors. Now you can take full advantage of your favorite plugin collection when creating immersive mixes. (Please note that Immersive Wrapper currently supports non-Waves VST3 plugins in the studio only. In live broadcast and live concert environments, when used within SuperRack, Immersive Wrapper supports Waves plugins only.)

In immersive live broadcast and live shows: Insert Immersive Wrapper on any slot in SuperRack LiveBox, SuperRack SoundGrid, or SuperRack Performer (in 5.1.4, 7.1.4 or 9.1.4 rack configurations), then load your chosen Waves mono plugin inside Immersive Wrapper. (The Immersive Wrapper plugin is bundled with SuperRack LiveBox: learn more.)

In the studio: Solve the bus processing problem when mixing music for ATMOS and other immersive formats. Now you can create immersive bus processing setups in multichannel / object-based mixes, using your favorite VST3 plugins—by Waves or other brands—complete with a shared internal sidechain system for mix-wide dynamics processing.

One of the biggest challenges in mixing for Immersive formats such as ATMOS is the lack of a bus: Since the immersive mix is outputted as individual beds and objects, you cannot shape the entire mix in a single place, making it harder to achieve the same glued cohesiveness as on a stereo mix.

Immersive Wrapper finally enables bus processing in immersive mixing. The Immersive Wrapper plugin can host any mono-to-mono plugin, in any channel configuration from mono all the way up to 9.1.6.

Immersive Wrapper opens the mono plugin across all the channels in the multichannel track, in a ‘multi-mono’ configuration. All the mono instances of the plugin across the beds and objects can be control-linked to make them work as a single plugin. Control-linking is flexible: you can link and unlink specific groups such as surrounds or tops, and preserve relative control positions for maximum control and precision—all with a single click.

For dynamics plugins that allow sidechaining, Immersive Wrapper lets you share internal sidechains across all the beds and objects, enabling you to glue your immersive mix with bus compression quickly and easily.

Developed with acclaimed audio engineers Hans-Martin Buff (Prince) and Yaron Fuchs (John Mayer)—both leaders in the immersive audio realm—Immersive Wrapper finally makes your existing plugin collection available for detailed, flexible, musical use in immersive mixing.
