Shame on them if you have paid for the purchase but cannot get it working.
They should return your money or help you with the installation.
Did you get the software working in some other computer?

The headtracker protocol is secret so headtracker is useless for other 
software.
Ok. I haven't tried the headtracker, so I didn't know about that. 
However, the

NX5 itself does work with other than Waves hosts, I checked it with Nuendo,
Wavelab (both Steinberg) and Reaper.

I’ve used Waves NX quite a bit and I found it rather good. It’s a pity the head 
tracker protocol is not public domain, but that’s not a deal breaker for me. 
The bluetooth tracker is at least inexpensive. 

Kind Regards,
Paul

I have bought the waves head tracker and software, I am unable to install
the software on my most powerful pc, support was not helpful.

The headtracker protocol is secret so headtracker is useless for other
software.

So I have not used it...

Not recommended 😎

[Sursound] Waves NX5

[Eero Aro]

Hi All

I haven't noticed if there has been discussion in Sursound about the 
Waves NX5

virtual room plugin.

I happened to bump up with the NX 5 last week when I was teaching a 
group of artists
to use surround sound in their works. They were all using laptops and 
headphones.
We could provide 5.1 loudspeaker monitoring just for a few people at the 
same time.


https://www.waves.com/plugins/nx#introducing-nx-virtual-mix-room

I had never tried NX 5 before. I downloaded and installed it and used it 
for the five days
trial period. I have always been pretty sceptical about virtual room 
listening through
headphones, but the NX 5 kinda works for me. It worked so well, that I 
actually made

a three minutes test mix with it in 5.1 surround sound for video.

I always have difficulties in localizing any phantom images in the front 
sector, the same
happened with the NX 5. Having said that, the sound image does localize 
outside the

head and on the sides and behind the directional localization is quite good.

NX 5 has head tracking, and surprisingly it works quite well even with a 
built-in laptop
camera or a simple USB camera. Waves is also selling a Bluetooth head 
tracker,

which costs as much as the software.

You cannot use your personal HRTF curve set, but you can feed in two 
strategic head
measurements. You can also select a headphone EQ from a short list of 
some studio

class headphones. It is possible to tailor the virtual speaker layout.

The head tracking is a bit slow, but if you accept that, it works quite 
well.


I noticed that I had more use of the virtual listening for 5.1 than for 
a two channel
stereo. In both of these I think that it is better to have the head 
tracking on than to have

it disabled.

I didn't have time to try NX 5 with Ambisonics. There is software for 
that also.


Anyone else have experience about this plugin?
