I was finalizing a mix session and was almost on the edge of completing it. I needed to adjust a few parameters on my buses to get it right, but I was feeling very lazy after working all day. I opened up Waves Central and downloaded IDX, even though I wasn't planning to use it in this particular session. I decided to give it a trial run out of curiosity. Holy crap, it completely fixed my buses! I didn’t expect that level of clarity and punch by just turning one knob. I had planned to review IDX some other day with random materials, but thank God I was feeling lazy 🤣 Waves is crazy!

Super good video, thanks Marcus. I got this free (thank you!) and was struggling with some of the settings - in under ten minutes you've delivered a masterclass. You rock.
I thought IDX was cool… reminded me of Equalizer by Wavesfactory-trying to smooth the whole spectrum first. But then it has the ability to focus, tilt and compress! I could see using this as a balancer and tilt for tracks.
Sounds great, I ussually dont use plugins that one single plugin do everything at once because then you dont have control over anything really, or that make "decisions" for you, but this has a different feel, maybe not using it as a go to because I like to have control over everything individually (compressors,eq,etc) but it could be very helpfull as a last resource when you have that instrument that you cant get to fully tame or for something quick , also it sounds very interesting for vocals.
@@waves I don't know if this comment was meant as a compliment. I noticed the same spot and the snare is obliterating the vocals and overpowering the whole mix. I am guessing that it's just a matter of reducing the 'amount' of the processing, otherwise this seems like a demo of what can happen if you rely too much on this kind of 'intelligent' plugins.
@@manlikejpuffs9933 he put it directly on the track, and in this instance, he didn't have any other plug-ins on any track. This was just a project of stems. You can use this plug-in on individual track, a mix, bus, or the master bus.
You can put it anywhere and on any track. Preferably in the beginning of the chain but interesting sonic results can also happen if you put it after certain effects. Just experiment and see what sounds good for you.
Hi Marcus, Nice video. I already tested IDX, on the Project Page in S1 v. 7. Really nice. But I don't understand the concept to use IDX from the beginning of a mix. Because, am I mixing "against" IDX?
Do you have any explanation just to why you're setting the EQ settings the way you are, We need explanation is to how the EQ curve is being changed and why you are changing it please explain this more clearly
Hi there, our tech support department is open 7 days a week and will be more than glad to assist. Please contact us directly: www.waves.com/contact-us Please note our plug-ins are not supported with iLoks. However, you can authorize to a USB Flash drive if needed via Waves Central.
I noticed that if you right click on the tilt button you can enter learn mode, but I haven't been able to determine what it does? Can anyone fill me in?
I downloaded this plugin recently got it for free registered it but when i opened it in my daw it was in demo mode. And i cant find the licence to activate it. Can you tell me please thanks why its not being activated the licence i mean ? as i got the serial number to register it.
After spending several hours utilizing this plugin, I reckon it has its place somewhere, but ultimately, at least for my preferences, it lacks the sheer customization factors of most other models.

I tried using this on a mix, tried it on several different tracks. While it did make a nice addition to a few, it also added some crackling noise. I get this from no other plug in, so it must be coming from this. 😒
the Speed knob is used to adjust the attack and release times simultaneously. Higher settings are generally sharper, but perhaps at the expense of certain attacks.

the example song is in my opinion almost not mixed at all, but seems very musty and partly poorly prepared. Point is the plugin actually supposed to replace all other processes? Question mark

Not a very good job explaining the interface, especially, the focus control in the middle. Does raising that little marker increase or decrease compression?
This IS the most useful free plug-in, EVER. Within 5 minutes, I cleaned up the muddy frequencies from an entire mix! Absolutely no fluff!!!!!
We're so happy you liked it! ❤️

Great read! Thank you!
This plugin is freakin amazing. Great job Waves. No if you guys can make a plugin that pays my mortgage every month, that'll be golden.😂🤣
Just write the song that does.😅
We are on it!
This was a golden comment lol😅
Thank you waves. I have been revisiting my old tracks to give them a fresh boost.
I think this is the plugin of the year for me!
I just struggled with a mix and this helped me to get things done quickly. Great plugin ... for free. 🤯
Glad it helped!
@@wavesit's still not showing up in my account. 😢😢😢
Ya, I LOVE Waves plugins and this one being free is mind blowing 🤯. I’m thankful 🙏🏾

This is actually a very nice-sounding plugin. Good job! Thanks for the gift!
Most welcome!
This is one of the greatest plugins ever made
Waves has done smart compression with quality sound and the good thing is that I got it for free, so thanks to Waves for this🔥
Can't wait to test a bit of this on my master bus
Yes!😎
That’s the first thing I tried it on. Did a great job cleaning up mud.
Well, I just tried it on a mix I'm doing and, holy crap! It works! I"ll test it again tomorrow when I'm sober! 😜
🍷
Great work waves on this plugin!!! Thanks also for offering free for black Friday. Heading to pick it up!!
You are most welcome!
Thanks for a useful overall view - appreciated!
Most welcome!
I can't believe Waves gave this away for free. To "thank" them I did take advantage of some Black Friday Specials.
Don't worry, you'll pay for the "update plan". But I must admit that the plugin is cool.
This works quite well combined with Silk, which can tame unwanted low resonance, and act like a de-easer/de-harsher!
Interesting!

Great plugin, thank you 🎉
No problem most welcome!
It gives breath to sound. I will try this instead of EQing around 3500-4000Hz
This is why i end up using waves plugins all the time 🤷🏻♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥
😎
Awesome plugin
Glad you liked it!
This is officially a cheat code! I love it ❤
You didn't mention the Audio Gain button ? I opened up an old session, and WOW, unbelievable . The best plugin from Waves.
Simply AWESOME....
Waves - How about adding Attack + Release in forthcoming versions for advanced users for further tweaking... 😉👍👍👊
Because that'll be in the paid version released at Christmas!
Cheers, Waves
😇😇
Reminds me of sknote’s Sound Brigade plugin, which is a very good thing 👏👍
Got it free yesterday. This video has helped.
I'm trying it since this week, and so far I like it
nice classic timeless song, got the plugin but not sure if its for me, thanks waves.
This plugin is amazing
Really nice! Reminds me of Soundgoodizer or YOU WA SHOCK. Thx for the freebie
Most Welcome!
sounds awesome. Can't wait to try myself. THNX!
Have fun!

You need to explain how to set it up, which track it goes on etc
legit its almost a awesome video but i have no idea where he has put this effect and at what point of his chain
The beginning of the video is on the mix bus I believe

So was it on every essential track AND on master track? Otherwise how does the mix balance?

Agree
Gulfoss on steroids!
😮😮😮😮😮 hadn't thought of that
STILL FIRST!
Soundgoodizer rebranded.
How is the latency in the LL version? will it work in a live mix setup?
0 samples: www.waves.com/plugins/idx-intelligent-dynamics?#tab-tech-specs|tab-latency
Ive installed it and got 4 different plugins. One called mono, one called stereo and then Live Mono and Live stereo. Which one do I wanna use?
That depends on your source material and whether you need it to be low latency (live).
Do you use this on individual tracks or the master instead?
Both work.
I got it downloaded to my MB Pro, now how do I add it to Logic so I can use with an I lok?

Output volume is louder than input volume. This could really distort the ear’s perception when doing the before/after comparison.
WAVES is KING of plugins HANDS DOOOWN!!!!! PERIOD PERIOD PERIOD 💯❤
Can u use it on masterchain?
Yes
I didn't get it for free but I already bought it for 25$ but i think its worth much more
Do you add it to individual tracks or to the master track?
Both
@ I just got the plugging, I added it to my melodies. Idk if I should also added to the master as well. Or just pick one over the other?
Try it out and if it sounds good go for it
Does it work if i use it only on vocals?
Yes
I noticed that if you right click on the tilt button you can enter learn mode, but I haven't been able to determine what it does? Can anyone fill me in?

Spiff obliterates any of these plugins. Just like soothe beats all resonance supressors.
Ok but $$$
It just sounds like a treble knob...
too cheep…
