What Waves sends and when, what this website records, and how to have anything about you removed.
What you may do with the Waves editor, how the subscription works, how it renews, how to cancel, and refunds. This is the one that applies if you use Waves.
Version 2.0, effective 10 April 2026. The agreement covering MirrorEdge's AI services — data sovereignty, the zero-training mandate, and the per-product disclaimers. It does not govern the Waves editor; see Terms of Use above for that.
Waves itself is proprietary. It ships and uses the software below, which is not.
Waves uses FFmpeg as a separate program, started as a child process to read audio out of video files and write it back. It is not linked into Waves and none of its code is compiled into Waves.
It is an LGPL build, not a GPL one, and that is deliberate. FFmpeg's GPL components are video encoders. Waves never encodes a picture — when it rebuilds a film after cleaning the sound, it copies the picture stream across untouched, which is also why your footage comes back bit-identical.
| Build | Licence | Version |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | LGPL v3 | n9.0.1-6-g9d4ca21220, from BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds |
| macOS | LGPL v2.1 | Built from FFmpeg source for this app, with no --enable-gpl and no --enable-version3 |
Each shipped build's digest is checked at package time, and the full licence text travels beside the program inside the application folder.
If you want the source for any component listed as LGPL, write to support@mirroredgeai.com and we will send it, or point you at the exact upstream revision it was built from. That offer is good for three years from the date you received the copy of Waves it came with.
