Waves enhances Cloud MX broadcast audio mixer with new features

Waves Audio has announced updates for its Cloud MX broadcast audio mixer. With this update, Cloud MX now supports 32+2 faders via dual Waves FIT controllers, as well as tactile control of plug-ins via the Waves FIT controller, expanding the Cloud MX mixing experience for the user.

Cloud MX is a professional cloud-based audio mixer. It delivers pristine audio, high-precision mix control and creative processing capabilities, with full integration of Waves’ massive catalogue of audio plug-ins – all in a scalable, remotely operated, broadcast-ready cloud workflow.

The latest update allows users to combine two Waves FIT controllers to the same mixer. The two FITs can work in tandem, for 32+2 faders and encoders per mix layer, or independently, where each FIT controls a mix layer of the user’s choice.

Plug-ins can be controlled directly from the Waves FIT controller, bringing a tactile experience to mixing with plug-ins. Plug-in parameters are auto-mapped to the FIT control surface, allowing users to mix with plug-ins hands-on, with zero manual setup.

In addition to these new features, Cloud MX now features an improved GUI (with updated layout), bug fixes and eight additional user keys.

The mixer allows users to bring a new level of audio fidelity, flexibility and complete control to a broadcast production. Its control options include multiple touchscreen support, plus tactile mixing with the Waves FIT controller and/or Mackie/MIDI controllers.
