Maserati B72 is a bass enhancer plugin from Waves with two modes: DI mode for electric or acoustic bass and Synth mode for adding width, buzz and color to bass sounds.
Maserati B72 is an effects plugin from Waves in the Enhancer subcategory. It is built around two modes that treat bass differently. DI mode works on electric and acoustic bass, adding fullness and clarity. Synth mode adds imaging, buzz and width, and can also be used to modernize traditional mono bass synth sounds. The plugin was developed in close collaboration with mixer Tony Maserati.
DI mode is designed for direct-recorded electric or acoustic bass. It injects fullness and clarity into the sound, helping a bass part hold its place in a mix.
The mode includes 12 presets to start from, which can be adjusted to suit the source and the rest of the arrangement.
Synth mode adds imaging, buzz and width to bass sounds. It can give traditional mono bass synth patches more movement and stereo spread, and it can add synth-like character to electric or acoustic bass tones.
Synth mode can be used as an insert or a send effect, and includes 16 presets. A toggle switches between the two routing options.
The developer says Synth mode is useful for expanding sparse bass sounds to give them more impact in hip hop mixes.
