About CodWaves
Plugins made by audio developers who make music, too.
CodWaves is a small independent plugin company built by Gustavo Castelo. We come from music and audio engineering, and we build focused tools for problems we meet in real production.
Every CodWaves plugin is developed, tested, updated, and supported by our team. If you write to us with a problem, you are speaking to the people who can fix it.
Why we started CodWaves
CodWaves was founded by Gustavo Castelo in 2024. It started as a simple way to release tools he made for himself. Those first tools, Seaquake and EelDrive, are still free today.
Since then, the idea has stayed the same: solve one real production problem, make the workflow clear, test it properly, and keep supporting it. That is why WaveBalance focuses on consistent levels, BassXtend focuses on bass translation, and every paid plugin still earns every control it includes.
In an industry moving quickly toward AI-generated software, we stay focused on human developers. Every CodWaves plugin is written, tested, updated, and supported by people who understand real-time audio and the small details that make a plugin dependable. We put a name on CodWaves because the final responsibility is mine.
The developers behind CodWaves

Gustavo Castelo
Founder and audio software developer
Gustavo plays piano and guitar, started producing music as a teenager, and eventually realized he was a better tool builder than producer. He has spent years developing plugins for other companies before starting CodWaves to build the tools he actually wanted to use.
