The Waves Ltd. Doppler is the only plug-in that I know of that actually simulates the Doppler effect! If you don't know what the Doppler effect is, it's the reason that a siren changes pitch as it passes you by. With this plug-in you can simulate this effect using two different modes - either a manual or auto mode. Installing the plug-in for me was easy as I did so along with the rest of the Waves Complete bundle which this is of course a part of. It's available in almost all of the Waves plug-in bundles, although I don't know if you can get it as an individual plug-in. The interface of Doppler gives you absolute control over every aspect of this effect, including gain, panning, pitch, reverb, and more. As I stated earlier, it's got an auto detection mode as well as a manual one. It's also got a helpful graph to show you the effect on screen. I'd have the manual handy if you think you might get lost with this one, but I found it pretty easy to figure out how to use without one.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The system that I'm running the Waves Ltd. Doppler plug-in on is Pro Tools LE 8 based. I run Pro Tools LE with a Digi 002R audio interface, and monitor with a set of Adam A7's. The computer that I'm running everything on is a Mac Book Pro lap top, consisting of a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I've never had a need to run more than one of these at a time, so in turn I've never had any performance issues with it within this system.
OVERALL OPINION
If you are looking to simulate the Doppler effect, look no further than Waves' Doppler plug-in. This can be useful both in music for an effect, as well as for post production and other applications involving audio. The plug-in can achieve the effect in a variety of different ways, as it's possible to get all different types of sounds using this effect. I don't know how piratical the plug-in is for me in terms of daily use, but every once and a while I can see it coming in handy. Unless you're using this all the time, it's probably not worth spending money on outside of a bundle you're already getting, but it's definitely a nice one to have if you are getting a bundle with it in it anyway...
