Waves Torque

If you’ve tried to fix out-of-tune drums when mixing, you know pitch shifters aren’t up to the task. They smear transients, create artifacts, and neuter acoustic drums. Powered by Waves’ proprietary Organic ReSynthesis engine, Torque changes everything.

Torque can change tone and formants, while preserving the original drum sound’s natural attack, resonance, and duration—with focus, trim, and threshold options to further enhance your drums. Use Torque in the studio—or live, when you need to get the drums right in the mix.
