The LoAir is a great new tool from Waves that creates subharmonic LFE content and enhances existing LFE audio material. Put LoAir on your 5.0 audio racks, and LoAir will automatically create an LFE channel with an octave- down signal and subharmonics, for earth-quaking listening experiences. Add LoAir to existing LFE tracks or 5.1 tracks, and LoAir will enhance the LFE channel, adding drama, rumble, and couch-shaking air.

Unlike other subharmonic synths, LoAir can take full-range source material as its input. It lets you adjust the filter frequency, tweak the character and amount of LoAir effect, and choose the components of your audio signal used to generate the LFE. LoAir is perfect for Sound Designers, Hip Hop Producers, and anyone working with sound effect libraries or remixing 5.0 movies.

• Create 5.1 mixes from 5.0 mixes, including 5.0 effects libraries and 5.0 movies.
• Increase dramatic subs to existing 5.1 mixes and sound effects, for monster footsteps, massive explosions, and spaceships.
• Add ground-trembling lows to sub synths, big basses, and kicks in your music mixes.
