For the letter O in our ongoing series of the A to Z of Waves, we have chosen OneKnob. OneKnob is a series of Waves plugins that not unsurprisingly have one knob. 

Bundle Or Individual

You can get the 8 Waves OneKnob plugins as a bundle or as individual plugins. Waves have designed the OneKnob series of plugins to make mixing easy, featuring the best of Waves' processing technology in a set of eight audio plugins, each of which is controlled by a single knob. The 8 OneKnob plugins are...

OneKnob Phatter - Add bottom, weight and body to bass, keys, kick drums and vocals alike with OneKnob Phatter, a bass booster that provides a quick way to thicken them in the mix. In this free video tutorial, Marcus demonstrates how Waves OneKnob Phatter & Brighter can be used in parallel with the built in splitter on a drum track in PreSonus Studio One.

OneKnob Brighter - An intelligent treble booster that adds brightness from the mid-high range on up, OneKnob Brighter is perfect for brightening up tracks or cutting through the mix. See the video above to see how Waves OneKnob Phatter & Brighter can be used in parallel with the built in splitter on a drum track in PreSonus Studio One.

OneKnob Driver - From light overdrive to full-on distortion, OneKnob Driver is not just for guitars; it sounds great as an effect for vocals, piano, synths, drums, bass and more. In this free tutorial video from Eli Krantzberg, Hear how this simple Waves plug-in is used to subtly saturate and overdrive the high end on a variety of instruments and vocals. 

OneKnob Filter - From the mixing room to the DJ booth, OneKnob Filter is a powerful sweepable filter with switchable resonance modes, perfect for full mixes, loops, synths and more. In this free video tutorial, Marcus shows how Waves OneKnob Filter can be used to filter and create automated sweeps in PreSonus Studio One.

OneKnob Louder - Using a combination of peak limiting and low-level compression with automatic makeup, OneKnob Louder effectively makes tracks louder, increasing RMS by up to 24 dB. In this free video tutorial, team member Marcus Huyskens uses the "louder" plugin from the Waves "oneknob" series on the drum buss, in order to add apparent loudness, depth, and punch to his drum tracks. 

OneKnob Pressure - From light parallel-style compression to heavy squashing, OneKnob Pressure is a versatile dynamics processor, ideal for percussive sources like loops and drum busses. Paul Drew uses the OneKnob Pressure plugin from Waves on a drum bus to achieve anything from light parallel-style compression to heavy squashing.

OneKnob Pumper - Designed for achieving an instant ducking effect, OneKnob Pumper simulates sidechain compression, saving you the need to route the kick track to the sidechain input of a compressor. In this free video Russ shows 3 ways to use the new Waves One Knob Pumper plug-in using it on synth, bass synth and drums.

OneKnob Wetter - From short, bright ambiences that are felt more than heard, to longer, darker spaces, OneKnob Wetter adds instant depth to any track, for the perfect atmosphere. In this free video tutorial, Marcus demonstrates how Waves OneKnob Wetter can be used to add Ambience to tracks in PreSonus Studio One
