Waves StudioRack is a plugin chainer that includes presets for entire plugin chains, and also allows
you to create your own custom chains. As shown in this video, you can assign different parameters from your chain to macros—enabling you to create your own ‘custom plugins.’

In this in-depth tutorial we show you how to assign and manipulate several plugin controls in one
twist of a single macro. Some of these StudioRack techniques recreate how pro engineers
manipulate physical controls on real analog outboard gear with two hands.

We demonstrate these techniques by creating a custom acoustic guitar mixing preset using Waves
plugins within StudioRack designed to:

• Remove muddy frequencies using dynamic EQ while boosting subtle levels of top-
end air
• Remove harshness using a DeEsser
• Apply level-compensated compression using both Waves CLA-76 input and output
controls at the same time on one macro
• Create tasteful stereo width from mono acoustic guitar recordings
• Add two layers of smart parallel reverb
