El Diablo Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Anyone know if the NX head tracker from Waves Audio ever goes on sale? If so, how low have you seen it and about what time of year? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Standalone, I've always seen it at $99. https://www.waves.com/hardware/nx-head-tracker My recollection is that the best price was for $99 in a bundle with Nx. Right now, it's $99 with Nx Ocean Way. https://www.waves.com/hardware/nx-ocean-way-nashville-head-tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grem Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Yes, I have never seen the head tracker for less than $99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Wait until Waves has the “Spend $90 get two free plugins” promotion comes around again, then buy a $99 Nx bundle (and get two free plugins). Not all the bundles are discounted at the same time, though, so you’ll have to be patient to get the Nx plug-in you want. Also, the free plugins selections change, so make sure the ones you want are available as freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecode 101 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Don't know if anyone posted. There is a bundle on sale now. https://www.waves.com/hardware/nx-virtual-studio-collection-head-tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) Just get the NX Ocean Way Nashville. It's on sale for $29. https://www.waves.com/plugins/nx-ocean-way-nashville#mix-better-on-headphones-nx-ocean-way-nashville You can use your webcam for head tracking. Or with no head tracking at all, which means that your stereo signal will follow your headphones as usual, instead of recreating the space around you as you move. You can still rotate the studio manually, calibrate your headphones, and select the studio monitors, and adjust the ambience using IR's. RATE indicates the rate of head tracking in frames per second (fps). The optimal rates are: Camera: 25 fps–30 fps Nx Head Tracker: 35 fps–50 fps Sensor Fusion: 45 fps–80 fps [both camera and head tracker] Waves Nx is the engine behind Ocean Way Nashville. Nx creates the space and converts stereo audio channels into a binaural headphone signal. NX HeadTracker is the Nx utility that uses camera and/or Bluetooth Head Tracker information to interpret the mix engineer’s head movements. The Nx application opens or closes automatically when you open or close the Nx Ocean Way Nashville plugin.

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) They are rare but yes, it does go on sale sometimes I got it in Oct 2018 but I vaguely remember having seen it on sale again every now and then. Sweetwater and Musiciansfriend have sales engineers that you can tell them what you're looking for and they'll alert you when there is a sale. Also, since $99 is the regular price, you want to look out for those generic coupons that are "nn% off regular priced items" Edited November 18, 2022 by Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Added info on when I got it and suggestions on who to get it from 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a bundle on sale now. https://www.waves.com/hardware/nx-virtual-studio-collection-head-tracker I post this a few days ago. It's still available from Koby at that price. You can pick up all four of them, wait for the sale on the tracker. Edited November 18, 2022 by Grem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecode 101 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Thanks. I see. I was more thinking, get the head tracker which comes bundled with the software for same price as just headtracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I've got the Waves Abbey Road and the Nashville studios, but I never could justify a $99 gadget to track my head movements. But that's just me and my budget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 You can also get the whole deal https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/NxStudioCollBx--waves-nx-virtual-studio-collection-and-nx-head-tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would be a great deal!!! But so far I was able to only find the low price Koby got plus the regular price of the head tracker which amounts to $152.
