Waves Mercury is the flagship Waves collection, an enormous library of processors that puts virtually the entire Waves catalog on one license. Where the smaller bundles assemble a working toolkit, Mercury assembles an entire studio's worth of signal processing, including the console emulations, artist signature series, vintage hardware models, and specialist post-production tools that are sold separately at every tier below it. For commercial facilities, mix engineers with demanding client rosters, and producers who want access to any sound without a second purchase, Mercury is the bundle that ends the question of whether you own the right plugin.
Alongside everything found in Diamond, Mercury brings the console and hardware emulations that define modern mixing workflows: SSL-modeled channel strips and bus compression, API-modeled EQ and dynamics, classic tube and optical compressor models, and the tape and preamp saturation processors that add analog character to digital recordings. The artist signature series contributes complete processing chains developed with engineers including Chris Lord-Alge, Jack Joseph Puig, Eddie Kramer, Tony Maserati, and Manny Marroquin, giving you their mix moves as single-window presets. Abbey Road collection plugins model specific pieces of studio history. Surround and post-production tools, advanced reverbs, pitch correction, and the full restoration suite complete the package.
Console, Hardware, and Tape Emulations
Mercury's console emulations reproduce the sound and workflow of the large-format desks that shaped decades of records, letting you mix through modeled channel strips and bus compressors rather than assembling chains from generic processors. Tube, optical, and FET compressor models plus tape and preamp saturation provide the analog weight and glue that digital mixes often lack.
Artist Signature Series and Abbey Road Collection
Signature series plugins distill the processing chains of the industry's most recognizable mix engineers into focused interfaces, giving you a professional starting point in one move. The Abbey Road collection models specific equipment from one of the most documented studios in recording history, from vintage EQs and compressors to plate reverbs and tape machines.
