CHAPTER 1:INTRODUCTION

1.1 Welcome

Thank you for choosing Waves! In order to get the most out of your new Waves plugin, please take a moment to read this user

guide.

To install software and manage your licenses, you need to have a free Waves account. Sign up at www.waves.com. With a Waves

account you can keep track of your products, renew your Waves Update Plan, participate in bonus programs, and keep up to date

with important information.

We suggest that you become familiar with the Waves Support pages: www.waves.com/support. There are technical articles about

installation, troubleshooting, specifications, and more. Plus, you’ll find company contact information and Waves Support news.

1.2 Product Overview

Sub Align is built to reclaim control of the subs when you don’t have access to the system processor and the subs are tied in with

the tops. The plugin artificially creates a crossover point between the tops and the subs and provides delay, phase and gain control

over the predetermined sub range of frequencies. This allows you to “move” and control the subs even when they are tied in with

the tops.

1.3 Components

WaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plugins, which we call components. Having a choice of

components for a particular processor gives you the flexibility to choose the configuration best suited to your material.

The Sub Align plugin includes the following components:

• Sub Align Mono

• Sub Align Stereo

CHAPTER 2: QUICK START GUIDE

As with all Waves plugins, factory presets are a good place to start. Use the bar at the top of the plugin to save and load presets,

compare settings, undo and redo steps, and resize the plugin. To learn more about the WaveSystem Toolbar, click the icon at the

upper-right corner of the window and open the WaveSystem Guide.

Choose the preset closest to your preference. Tweak it from there. You can always reset all plugin controls by loading the Sub Align

"Full Reset"preset.
