Waves Audio Announces Strategic Alliance With DiGiCo

Waves Audio, a leading provider of digital signal processing software and hardware solutions, and DiGiCo, the renowned UK-based manufacturer of some of the world's most popular, successful and groundbreaking digital mixing consoles, have announced a technology agreement. The joint announcement was made at the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, by Mick Olesh, Waves Executive VP, Sales and Marketing, and DiGiCo Managing Director James Gordon and DiGiCo Marketing Director David Webster. Waves and DiGiCo have agreed to work together to integrate Waves' new SoundGrid technology into DiGiCo's single FPGA Stealth Digital Processing products for the live sound industry. Further details about this strategic alliance are to be unveiled over 2010. Commenting on the agreement, Olesh stated, "DiGiCo has always been on the forefront in digital mixing technology. Their consoles have been acknowledged as an industry leader, and everyone at Waves is extremely excited to be able to work with their R&D team. We look forward to a close working relationship." "The arrival of Waves' Sound Grid is a big step in the plug-in world. Its impressive lack of latency and access to existing plug-ins made it the only choice for DiGiCo," added DiGiCo managing director James Gordon. "When you think of plug-ins, you think of Waves. In the future, we hope that DiGiCo control will be the next name that comes to mind." For more information, please visit http://www.waves.com.
