Knoxville, TN (September 22, 2026)—Waves Audio has updated its Waves Tracks Live software with the introduction of V2.0, bringing with it new features that work with most live system platforms and additionally integrate deeply with the company’s own Waves LV1 consoles.
Intended for capturing live performances with a modicum of effort, Tracks Live 2.0 can support up to 128 channels of recording, enabling multitrack capture, virtual soundcheck, editing and session export. Native support for macOS (including Apple Silicon) and Windows allows the software to integrate easily into a wide range of live production environments.

That said, Tracks Live 2.0 can be used with non-Waves Core Audio or ASIO I/O configurations, and Waves eMotion LV1 systems where it is designed to function as an extension of the live mixing environment. Using Sync, Tracks Live 2.0 imports routed LV1 channels along with track names, patching, mono/stereo assignments and channel colors, eliminating much of the effort that goes into preparing a multitrack recording session.
LV1 scene changes are automatically captured as markers on the Tracks Live timeline. This provides engineers with a visual reference to the performance without requiring markers to be entered manually during the show. When it comes to virtual soundcheck. Tracks Live 2.0 follows LV1 scene recalls during playback, allowing engineers to move through the recorded performance while maintaining the scene structure of the original show.
