Pairing Nx Head Tracker with Waves Nx 3D Audio Apps 

For detailed instructions about how to pair the Nx Head Tracker device with the 

Waves Nx desktop and mobile apps for 3D audio

 

on headphones, refer to the apps’

Pairing Nx Head Tracker with the Nx Virtual Mix Room or Abbey Road 
Studio 3 Plugin 

To use the Nx Head Tracker device with the Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin, you must 
first pair them. This is done from a dedicated 

head tracking application 

that opens 

and closes automatically when you open and close the plugin. For head tracking to be 
enabled, the application must remain open. If the application is closed, head tracking 
will stop. This will not affect the plugin itself or your DAW in any way; you can simply 
restart the head tracking application using the Settings button (Abbey Road Studio 3) 
or Restart button (Nx Virtual Mix Room). This reestablishes tracking.
