Product Overview

Check Your Mixes in Abbey Road’s Studio 3 Control Room

Abbey Road Studio 3—Inside Your Headphones

Better Mixes—Anytime, Anywhere

Sometimes, headphones are your most convenient monitoring option. But mixing on headphones can be unreliable: you might easily add too much ambient reverb, or too much low end, etc. Abbey Road Studio 3 corrects the inherent limitations of the headphone experience, so you can create mixes that will translate perfectly to any system.

Monitor in Abbey Road’s Flagship Mix Room

The Abbey Road Studio 3 control room was designed by the world’s greatest acoustic experts, to provide the ultimate mixing environment. Contemporary mixes and remixes of the Beatles and Pink Floyd, modern classics by Radiohead, Amy Winehouse, Kanye West, Frank Ocean, and more—all were perfected at Abbey Road Studio 3.

Choose from 3 Sets of Custom Abbey Road Monitors

Check your mixes through the studio’s three sets of custom-made speakers: Near-fields for critical listening, mid-fields for a hi-fi sound, or far-field for a big speaker sound with a club-like feel.

EQ Correction for 270 Headphone Models

Abbey Road Studio 3 uses the state-of-the-art Harman Headphone Target Curve method to correct EQ response for over 270 studio headphones, including models by Sony, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, AKG, Audio Technica, Audeze, Focal, and dozens more brands.

Powered by Waves Nx® Immersive Audio Technology

Waves Nx uses channel crosstalk, inter-aural delays (ITD), filters (ILD), early reflections, and head motion tracking to replicate the immersive experience of hearing audio in the real world. All these are coupled with precision measurements of the acoustic response at the physical Abbey Road Studio 3 control room, to faithfully deliver the original monitoring experience.

Personalize Your Studio Environment

Use the precise emulation of Studio 3’s acoustics, or dial in slightly wetter or drier room ambience. For personal adjustment of the 3D effect to your head/ear anatomy, enter your personal head measurements into the plugin’s head anatomy calibration section.

Mix and Monitor 5.1/7.1—on Any Stereo Headphones

In addition to stereo mixes, Abbey Road Studio 3 includes components for mixing in 5.1 and 7.1 surround. Breakthrough binaural processes and spatial modeling accurately reflect surround mixes—even with stereo headphones.

Track Head Motion for Enhanced Immersion

When you’re in the studio and turn your head, the sound changes. And it can here, too: for an immersive, VR-like experience, track head motion with your computer’s video camera, or with the advanced Nx Head Tracker.

Exceptions & Notes:

  • Nx Head Tracker: See the Support tab of the Nx Head Tracker page.
  • Camera Support and Performance: In general, Nx will support any webcam that works on your system. If you can Skype with it, you can do head tracking with it. Note that MacBook Pros with built-in PCI-based cameras cause CPU to peak in Pro Tools. This has nothing to do with the Nx plugin or head tracking application; it is a system bug of PCI cameras and Pro Tools on MacBook Pro. To avoid this issue, use an external USB camera. [Mac & Windows]
  • Mac computers with built-in iSight cameras: Following the August 2016 update of the Nx plugin, old Mac computers with built-in iSight cameras may experience deterioration in tracking performance. Until we fix this issue, it is advised to use an external USB camera instead of the built-in iSight camera, or, in case you do not have an Nx Head Tracker, do not update the plugin yet. [Mac]
