The knobs and buttons also have a good bit of separation between them. I do have my gripes about its size, but it manages to show a good amount of information without feeling overly cramped. ItвЂ™s primarily black and white, but thereвЂ™s enough contrast to ensure that youвЂ™ll always see what you need even on stage. I am quite pleased with the monochrome screen. Knobs have a decent bit of resistance, allowing precise changes to be made, and buttons have a tactile feel to them with a slight click off each press. LetвЂ™s talk about the controls of the RD-88, buttons and knobs are the main medium of interaction with the internals, and as youвЂ™d expect from Roland, they feel great. ThatвЂ™s something that was absent on the RD-2000. Having speakers isnвЂ™t necessary, as youвЂ™ll be using external amplifiers or speakers during performances, but itвЂ™s very helpful if you want a convenient way to audition sounds at home. This is even more impressive when you consider that Roland includes stereo 6W speakers on this instrument. This is a threshold the RD-88 manages to avoid quite handily.ДЇor reference, the RD-88 weighs a comfortable 29.7 lbs (13.5 kg), and has a slimmer profile of 50.6вЂі (W) x 10.2вЂі (D) x 6.3вЂі (H). However, most stage pianos arenвЂ™t exactly easy on your spine, going as high as 44 lbs (20 kg) in some cases. Stage pianos are generally less heavy than digital pianos geared towards home-based use, and thatвЂ™s mainly due to the omission of heavy components such as speakers. One of the big selling points of the RD-88 is its slim profile and relatively lighter weight. From what I can tell, this is an instrument that will stand the test of time. RolandвЂ™s usual eye for quality is retained here, and IвЂ™m happy with the RD-88вЂ™s durability. ThatвЂ™s not to say its badly built though. For what itвЂ™s worth, youвЂ™ll avoid the common problem of fingerprints. IвЂ™ll excuse this subjective flaw because of the price, but I really donвЂ™t consider the RD-88 a вЂlookerвЂ™. I usually donвЂ™t mind matte black surfaces, but the uniform palate on the RD-88 somehow feels a little bit off. In the looks department, the RD-88 looks weirdly cheap. This doesnвЂ™t mean itвЂ™s bad though, it just doesnвЂ™t fit in with my personal tastes. Otherwise, a dead simple device that does what one would expect.Personally, IвЂ™m not a fan of the RD-88вЂ™s design.

HONEST REVIEW OF WAVES NX PLUGIN PROFESSIONAL

For the price of the plugin, it might have been better to include that with the professional plugin so that people using the Virtual Mix plugin could directly target what it would sound like for people who use the tracker solely to enhance their listening experience. That is a costed option at an additional $9.95.

The tracker does not come with the separate software for Mac and Widows to allow you to use it for general listening. It would be good if there was some mixing oriented apps that uses this available for the iphone or android.

There's also a free app for android and iphone to utilize the tracker with your phone, but it's geared more towards general listening than mixing. I was afraid the head tracker would just be a gimmick, but it honestly adds a lot to the plugin. However, if you put the plugin in 'Sensor Fusion Mode' (using both the webcam and the head tracker to track you in the virtual space), it eliminates this distortion. The only problem I found with the product is that if you jerk your head very quickly there is an audible crackle as the plugin adjusts to your head's new orientation. It comes with an extra fastener should the first one become broken.

HONEST REVIEW OF WAVES NX PLUGIN BLUETOOTH

It was easy to setup as pairing a bluetooth device and the included strap will fit on any set of headphones.

The tracking of the virtual monitor speakers seems more natural, and when you stare at a blank space in the room it seems like there really is an invisible speaker coming out of the air. It effectively deals with the latency problem doing head tracking with a webcam with the Waves Nx plugin.

Thinking that it might be more useful if I tried the dedicated Nx Head Tracker with the plugin, I thought I'd drop the $49 price because it was on sale. It seemed like my head could turn faster than the plugin could adjust the audio. I got the Waves Audio Nx plugin and initially did head tracking with the built-in webcam tracking, which worked well out of the box but had definite latency problems. I've been using the Waves Audio Nx 'virtual room' plugin for mixing because I currently don't have a treated space nor a set of monitors.
