Mix better anytime, anywhere

Sometimes, headphones are your most convenient monitoring option. But mixing on headphones can be unreliable: you can easily add too much ambient reverb, or too much low frequency, etc. Nx Germano corrects the inherent limitations of the headphone experience, allowing you to create mixes that will look great on any system.

Mixing in the legendary control room

From Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones to Notorious BIG and Kendrick Lamar, these music superstars recorded and mixed at Hit Factory recording studio (later renamed Germano Studios) in New York City. Now you, too, can be a guest in a 3D replica of this glorious mixing control room.

Accurate Acoustics and Low Frequency Response

The Germano/Hit Factory studio control room is known for its powerful, punchy, club-friendly bass response. The Nx Germano plug-in brings these sonic qualities to headphones thanks to precise acoustic measurements of the Germano control room, coupled with Waves Nx® immersive audio technology.

EQ calibration for 270 headphone models

Nx Germano uses the state-of-the-art Harman headphone target curve method to calibrate the EQ response of over 270 studio headphones, including models from Sony, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, AKG, Audio Technica, Audeze, Focal and dozens of other brands.

Choose from 3 sets of trusted studio monitors

You can reference your own songs on three sets of classic stereo monitors: the must-have NS-10M nearfield monitors, Germano Acoustics AEON 2, and powerful Exigy speakers custom designed by SGD and Troy Germano – with amazing low frequency response !

Surround mixing and monitoring
– Any stereo headset will do

Germano Studios New York is known for its exemplary surround monitors, and their Nx plug-in version also includes surround monitors as a separate component. Even mixing with stereo headphones now reflects the position in the surround mix.

Track head movement for extra realism

When you move your head in the studio, it affects the way you hear the sound. Use your computer camera or the dedicated Nx head tracker to track head movements, providing a hyper-realistic VR-like experience.
