eMotion LV1 is a live sound mixing application from Waves that supports up to 16 stereo or mono input channels. It runs Waves plugins on each channel and is built for front-of-house, stage and venue use on Windows and macOS.
eMotion LV1 brings Waves' live mixing tools to front-of-house and stage work. Its 32-bit, double-precision audio engine is designed for headroom and clarity, and it supports sample rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz. You can build custom layers to organize channels around your own workflow, connect up to 16 stage boxes, converters and computers, and control the mix from a tablet or phone anywhere in the venue.
eMotion LV1 is built around channel processing. Live-optimized Waves eMo plugins provide channel strip processing, and you can run up to eight SoundGrid-compatible plugins directly on each channel. Waves describes the plugin integration as bringing its studio signal processors to live sound.
The Dugan Speech automixer plugin integrates with the mixer, which is useful for spoken-word events with multiple microphones.
The mixer handles up to 16 stereo or mono input channels. Waves states that you can connect and share up to 16 stage boxes, converters and computers, and that processing power can scale across multiple servers.
Compatibility with industry-standard controllers, including Waves FIT, lets you pair the software with hardware surfaces you may already use. Remote control from a mobile device or tablet lets an engineer adjust the mix from FOH, the stage or elsewhere in the room.
