The allure of sonic degradation

Waves Retro Fi is the ideal plug-in for those who want to rediscover the imperfect but warm sound of old analog equipment. Hiss, saturation, hiss, phase shifts-every detail is shaped to bring authentic sounds to life, with a retro soul that makes each track more alive and personal.

From vintage vibes to extreme experimentation

Retro Fi is perfectly suited to both those seeking a vintage feel in modern music and those exploring more radical lo-fi territories. The "Squash" control adds creative compression, while the built-in FX chain delivers a cohesive and musically "sticky" sound.

Limitless creativity

Use the two Wow & Wobble engines to create realistic pitch variations, add smooth distortion, or texturize your sounds with dynamic noise that never repeats. Ducking and gating controls also make Retro Fi perfect for percussive effects, glitches, and advanced sound design.
