Nx – Virtual Mix Room over Headphones Black Friday Deal 2026: $29.99, 69% off

Waves is running a Nx Virtual Mix Room Black Friday deal: 69% off, $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026. It's a utility plugin that lets you monitor a mix over headphones as if you were sitting in a well-set-up control room with speakers.

What is the Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin?

Nx Virtual Mix Room over Headphones virtualizes a 3D acoustic space inside your DAW. You put it on your monitoring path and hear your mix through headphones the way you'd hear it from speakers in a room.

The maker's pitch is simple. Quality headphones remove room problems, but a mix built on headphones often falls apart on speakers.

Since listeners switch between both, Waves says the plugin lets you check that a mix translates to each.

What can it do?

Here is the feature list from Waves:

• Monitor stereo, surround and Ambisonics B-format
• Customize speaker positioning and room ambience
• EQ correction curves for over 270 headphone models
• Head tracking for an immersive mix experience
• Judge depth, stereo balance and panning on headphones

The correction curves are there to even out the response of the headphones you already own. The virtual room does the speaker part, so you aren't hearing the inside-your-head image of a plain headphone mix.

Because you can move the virtual speakers and change the room ambience, you can set up the listening position instead of taking a fixed preset.

Where does it run?

On Mac, Nx supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.

On Windows, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes in VST and AAX.

If you mix late at night, in a bedroom, or anywhere the acoustics fight you, this is the problem Nx is built around. Waves frames it as headphone-to-speaker translation you can trust, so the call you make on the headphones holds up when the track leaves your setup.
