360° Surround Tools from Waves is a comprehensive 12-plugin bundle built for 5.1 surround post-production. It covers the full mixing workflow: C360 and L360 handle dynamics and limiting, MV360 combines high- and low-level compression, R360 adds surround ambience, and S360 manages imaging and panning. LFE360 provides precise low-pass filtering for the LFE channel, LoAir enhances bass, and IDR360 handles bit re-quantization and dithering. UM225 and UM226 upmix stereo sources to 5.0/5.1, while Dorrough stereo and surround meters and calibration tools help you verify placement, balance, and spread. The result is reliable, consistent surround mixes with controlled dynamics, clear low end, and accurate monitoring. It suits post-production engineers, sound designers, and hobby producers working on film, TV, games, or immersive music who need a complete surround toolkit rather than scattered individual processors.
