Raz Audio releases MS Controller (Free Windows VST Plug-in)

Raz Audio has released MS Controller, a new free tool for mixing, mastering or DJ & PA work that gives you easy control of Mid ('phantom center') or sides content.

An intuitive GUI provides you only what you need - clear easy knobs and value readings, with precision level bars for each channel (L/R and M/S).

Based on floating point calculation, the M/S controller is accurate and true to the original material. Expect zero artifacts.

The M/S controller is handy in these scenarios:

Common:

• Punchier kick/drum response for dance clubs effects.
• Bring out the lead vocal and instrument for DJ/PA venues.
• 'Karaoke' like effects - in which the leading vocals are attenuated to zero.
• Set as a 'send FX' (not 'insert') in series to a reverb unit and attenuate 'Mid' (or enhance 'sides') - for receiving a spacious, lustful reverb effect, which is still vivid and clear.

Advanced techniques: Use the M/S controller for a full separation of Mid over side and export each track for advanced processing:

• EQ: Roll off the low-end content of sides to provide a tight, powerful mix.
• Provide different compression or EQ setting to 'Sides', prior to sending the signal to a reverb unit, for a clear and clean result.
• Provide any different process for lead vocals and background.

As all 'Raz Audio' processors, the M/S controller is available as a free download.
