Waves Nx Head Tracker – User Guide
Appendix B: Setting up a Session with Multiple Nx Tracker Users
Up to six Nx Head Tracker devices can be used simultaneously. This lets
engineers and artists work collaboratively in the same Nx mixing environment—
each participant will have a an individual Nx mix and personal head tracking.
The two examples below are applicable to the Nx Virtual Mix Room and Abbey
Road Studio 3 plugins.
Example 1
: Mixing session with three mix engineers monitoring through Nx
with three Nx Head Trackers
1. Route the mix to a master aux bus.
2. Send the master aux bus to the main output bus and to three other auxes for
Nx monitoring. We will call these auxes “Nx aux 1, 2, and 3.”
3. Route each of the Nx auxes to separate headphone outputs (i.e., Nx aux 1
to headphone out 1 /2, Nx aux 2 to headphone out 3/ 4, and so on).
4. Open plugin on each of the Nx auxes.
5. If the Waves HeadTracker application is not open, open it now. Power up the three
Nx Head Trackers.
6. Connect the Nx Head Trackers.
Mac:
The Nx Head trackers are detected automatically and added to the list of
devices in the Waves Head Tracker application. Check the Connect checkbox.
Windows:
Click the “Open Bluetooth Settings” button and pair the three Nx
Head Trackers. The Nx Head Trackers will be detected automatically and
added to the list of devices in the Waves Head Tracker application. Check the
Connect checkbox.
7. Use the Waves HeadTracker application to assign each Nx Head Tracker a
unique name. This helps to identify the devices.
8. For each Nx plugin, select one of the Nx Head Trackers from the Tracking Device
menu.
Make sure that each Nx aux channel is assigned to the correct
headphones.
Incorrect selection will result in the movements of one Nx Head
Tracker listener affecting the sound orientation of another listener.
Once all the Nx Head Trackers are assigned to the correct plugin instances and
are routed separately to the listeners’ headphones, all three mix engineers will
experience Nx spatial imaging: each with individual head tracking and their own
aux mix.
