Waves Abbey Road Vinyl was created to faithfully capture and reproduce the unique sonic qualities of vinyl records—from the warm saturation and groove glue to the imperfections that define the medium. The product was developed in collaboration with Abbey Road Studios to provide a complete, end-to-end emulation of the vinyl mastering and playback process. It addresses the creative and technical needs of modern producers and engineers who seek to integrate authentic analog textures into their digital workflows. By modeling the exact gear used at Abbey Road, this plugin brings the classic vinyl sound—whether pristine or worn-out—directly into the digital audio workstation (DAW), allowing users full creative control over every stage of vinyl production and playback.
Key Highlights
The warm tonal character of music pressed onto vinyl remains coveted to this day. Now, for the first time, Waves’ close collaboration with Abbey Road Studios has created a plugin with the most detailed control over all aspects of vinyl: from creating the lacquer, to the pressing plant, to the warm crackles, wow and flutter of record wear.
Whether you’re producing, mixing or mastering your tracks, it’s time to experience the full range of creative vinyl ear-candy—from the magical way that vinyl glues tracks together, to the freedom to manipulate every stage of the vinyl process in ways never before possible.
The Full Spectrum of Vinyl
Abbey Road Vinyl captures the soul of the golden age of records—from the subtle taste of vinyl for discerning audiophiles, to adding life to today’s digital recordings, to aggressive crackles and turntable stops for creative effects.
Original Lacquer or Final Vinyl Pressing
The master lacquers, or acetates, made before the audio went to pressing plants, were valued for their fresh, punchy sound quality, that’s quick unlike the final pressed vinyl. Abbey Road Vinyl lets you experience the unique sonic effect of lacquer in addition to the printed vinyl pressing.
Retro Vinyl Effects Without Limits
When authenticity is paramount, add a little or a lot of vinyl’s imperfections: turntable rumble, crackles, clicks, wow, flutter, and even the phase distortion that occurs when the stylus moves more obliquely in the inner grooves.
The Stop/Slowdown Record Effect
For creative ear candy—slow down the turntable and come to a stop, over 1 ms to 30 seconds (or tempo-synched). Choose manual playback, or auto-resume after reaching full stop.
2 Turntables, 3 Cartridges
Choose from Abbey Road’s original mastering turntable vs. a DJ-style machine, plus 3 cartridges: Moving Magnet (best transient response and flattest), Moving Coil (low noise level and extended frequency response), or an inexpensive DJ cartridge (grittier sound and more low bass).
TG12410 Mastering Desk—A Crucial Link in the Chain
Extra magic happened when audio passed through the TG12410 mastering console to the lathe, because Abbey Road’s engineers tweaked its EQs, filters, and limiters. Abbey Road Vinyl faithfully models these TG settings, for your use when mixing or mastering.
Ultimate Touches of Realism
As a tonearm approaches the inner grooves, highs decrease, and distortion increases. Automate the virtual tonearm with your DAW, and move it closer to the center grooves over the course of a “virtual side.” Really.
