You can also use the L2 just for the dither if you need one. It’s not the loudest or the most transparent limiter in this day and age, but has a forward sound that often works well on drums and other things (switch of ARC, set a fairly short release and hit it fairly hard). The punch switch is also a nice touch – helps retain transient energy. I wonder why not more compressors do that. I really dig that you can sync the release time with the BPM of your project. It has a unique “hard and solid” sonic character which I am quite fond of. Great for making just about anything fat and wide. But for the rest of us, it’s a pretty cool tool for crafting experimental sound design. It’s very useful if you are doing film stuff. If you just need a precise, clean, low CPU compression, expansion or gating, the C1 gets the job done. I wish the same would happen for the rest of the older Waves plugins. I think the recent user interface remake on these is spot on.

Excellent quality workhorse package for mixing and other audio work.

The Renaissance collection plugins (8 in total).

But then there are plugins in there that I have been using consistently for almost 20 years now. I don’t use many of the included plugins ever. There are so many plugins in the Horizon bundle that your favourites will likely be somewhat different to mine. You can find the full Waves Horizon plugin list here. It focuses quite a bit on the older generation of classic Waves plugins (which I personally think is a good thing). The Waves Horizon bundle includes 83 plugins. Good news for me! What Plugins are in Waves Horizon? With the new version 13, Waves plugins are now natively compatible with Mac M1. Horizon doesn’t have many of the newer flashy Waves plugins. You know, plugins like the S1, Trans-X and Doubler – they’ve always been there for me and never let me down. It includes a whole host of those “good old” Waves plugins which I personally really like and gravitate towards. It’s designed for music production, mixing and mastering work. The Horizon bundle is a collection of 83 audio plugins by Waves Audio.

Besides my thoughts, I am also including answers to some of the common questions you may be having. So now that I have it all freshened up, here is my Waves Horizon review. I owned a bunch of the plugins already, but all my upgrade plans had expired years back (I was on version 9 mostly). I decided to get the Horizon Bundle in an upgrade deal. Waves Audio just came out with version 13 of their plugins. Disclaimer: I have bought the Waves Horizon bundle.
