Waves Abbey Road Vinyl Plugin recreates the classic sound of vinyl records by accurately modeling the iconic cutting, mastering, and playback equipment used at Abbey Road Studios. This plugin brings the nostalgic warmth and character of analog vinyl to digital music production, capturing the essence of records played on vintage turntables and needles.

Created in collaboration with Abbey Road Studios, the plugin offers an authentic experience by simulating every stage of vinyl production. Users can select between the sound of an acetate lacquer cut or a printed vinyl pressing, while also choosing from two distinct turntable types and three classic cartridge options. Additionally, it features the renowned Abbey Road TG12410 mastering console, lending professional mastering qualities to the vinyl emulation process.

Beyond accurate modeling, the plugin enhances creativity by allowing control over tone arm positioning to alter frequency response and distortion, mimicking real-world vinyl playback variations. It also includes effects such as vinyl noise, crackle, wow and flutter, and a slow-down/stop turntable mechanism, adding further analog warmth and character to music tracks.
