The history of these consoles is well-known, and is documented on the Waves site in more detail than I have space for here, but a brief summary is perhaps in order. The newest entry into the former category is perhaps also the most ambitious: Waves have officially modelled channels from the famous REDD consoles that were used to record many classic '60s records, including nearly all of the Beatles' output. Some, such as the RS124 compressor or TG12413 limiter, model classic pieces of hardware from the studios, while others present samples recorded there, such as Native Instruments' Abbey Road Drummer series. The commercial exploitation of the Abbey Road brand has already brought us a number of software plug-ins. Such is its fame that it has also become a potent brand name: whether it be T-shirts, coffee-table books or online mastering services, we expect something a bit special from anything that bears the Abbey Road moniker. Some 80 years after its opening, EMI's Abbey Road Studios remains one of the world's leading recording facilities. But is there still a role for a mixer that was declared obsolete 40 years ago? Waves' latest analogue emulation has unrivalled pedigree.
