eMotion LV1 is a live sound mixer software from Waves that supports up to 64 stereo or mono input channels, with plugin processing on each channel for live shows, venues and streaming events.
eMotion LV1 is built for live sound engineers who want studio-grade processing in a live mixing environment. It runs on Windows 10 and later and on recent macOS versions from Monterey 12 through Sequoia 15. Its 32-bit, double-precision audio engine supports sample rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz. The mixer can connect and share up to 16 stage boxes, converters and computers, and it can be controlled from a mobile device or tablet at front of house, on stage or elsewhere in the venue.
Each channel can run up to eight SoundGrid-compatible plugins, so engineers can build channel processing chains without leaving the mixer. Live-optimized Waves eMo plugins provide channel strip processing for standard live tasks.
The Dugan Speech automixer plugin integrates with the mixer, which is useful for talk-heavy events. Waves describes the processing power as practically unlimited when multiple servers are used together.
Custom layers let engineers organize channels into personalized layouts for faster access during a show. The mixer works with industry-standard controllers, including Waves FIT.
For larger rigs, up to 16 stage boxes, converters and computers can be connected and shared. Remote control from a mobile device or tablet lets the engineer adjust the mix from front of house, the stage or other locations in the venue.
