Default Waves The Abbey Road Chambers AAX

Waves The Abbey Road Chambers AAX, very excited to try this plugin today, it sounds amazing.

Problem is it just hogs one core in my 12 core machine, spiking the main usage making it pretty much unusable at 96k

love to hear how other people get on, I didn't expect this from Waves, you kind of see it from some smaller developers.

And it's depressing as I have 2 HDX cards, and no DSP version.

Holy s&*t, that's insane!!. A matching bookend for my Plates reverb!!

I'm willing to be this uses the same engine as the Plates reverb, which I'm also willing to bet uses the engines in H-Reverb and the EMI-TG strip... meaning they will be resource heavy, but the benefits could be well worth it.

For a moment, I thought it was a reverb emulation of the actual studio space, but I don't think AR would let anyone emulate those!!

Instant buy for me. Unique textures and huge versatility. The filters, delay and boost EQ are very useful additions and the launching price is highly appreciated.

Would I be correct in assuming this uses the new WavesHell which isn't supported in Yosemite?

Whats you video card?

I have a Nvidia Quadro 4000, the CPU management is just not right, it makes me think AAX is not a top priority.

Thinking to use a second computer to run this plugin under Logic, and just use I/O to access.

Amazing plugin! at a great opening price.

$23 @ Audiodeluxe? Why not.

The race to the bottom continues!

I know it's bad form to reply to one's own post but it's true - one needs El Crapitan or higher to install this. For those of us on Yosemite or lower because of whatever PT version we're using are out of luck on this gem

Code JULY25 for 25% off at Waves, through Sunday, I believe.

I think I'm going to pick this one up.

It installed fine on Yosemite, but I chose to not update any of my other Waves plugs.. it runs quite badly at 96k, but pushing the buffer to the largest, its ok to audition and commit.

Certainly my new favourite reverb, and worth every cent.
