Scholarship Manager from Next Gen Web Solutions vs. Waves

While the tools given and access to data is simple, the overall functionality of the tool is lacking some basic features. Scholarship Manager from Next Gen Web Solutions provides a place to add users for share donor engagement and scholarship review process. However, having more editing, print, and save functions are handy. An annoying feature is when reviewing scholarships, you have to scroll and scour full lists of recipients to completely confirm them for a scholarship. We found this a chore when sharing review duties broken down to cover specific alphabetic quadrants.

There really is no scenario that Waves could not be used well suited for a studio environment. For instance, when I have someone come over to record, I use waves tune realtime in post production. And it really helps just get the flat/sharp notes on key easily. And the Abbey Road collection!! WOW!!! It sounds so good! Also, I use the API and SSL on my master chain to give it that "polished" feel in the end

Waves seems to be the industry standard for mixing plugins. It integrates well with most DAWs and even has the option for Waves sound grid for live mixing. Using a DAW like Cubase, Protools, etc could introduce latency, while Sound Grid provides a near latency-free experience. Other solutions could prove to be difficult to implement.

• It gave me the ability to tune vocals without them sounding "autotuned," therefore, making the singer feel like they sang it that much better. Just a confidence booster.
• It gives me the opportunity for simply mastering a song. If a customer only wants a song mastered, I can effectively do that.
• It is a bit costly when you first purchase, but it makes up for itself when you need it. I feel like it was money well spent.
