What it is

Curves Resolve is the third plugin in Waves' Curves Series of intelligent mixing tools. It's a frequency-unmasking processor: you load it on one track, feed a second track into its sidechain, and it dynamically carves space wherever the two signals clash. Rather than a fully free-form spectral editor, it works across four defined bands, which keeps setup fast during a real mixing session.

Who it's for

Mixing engineers working with dense arrangements where instruments fight for the same frequency range, like a lead vocal buried under rhythm guitars or a bass line masking the kick drum.

Key features

• Sidechain-driven dynamic EQ automatically carves space between two conflicting tracks across four adjustable frequency bands
• Snapshot controls adjust the carving behavior to match the incoming signal type, so vocal-vs-guitar and bass-vs-kick pairings get different handling out of the box
• Mid/side processing lets you concentrate the reduction on center or side content, useful when a vocal sits in the middle and guitars or synths spread wide
• Curves Resolve Live is included, a zero-latency version built for live sound, broadcast, and other real-time mixing environments
