Leapwing Audio releases CenterOne - Center-Extractor and Phantom Center Manipulator for Mac & Win

Leapwing Audio has announced the release of CenterOne, a center-extractor and phantom center manipulator plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows in VST2, VST3, AU and AAX formats.

For final mixes and mastering, CenterOne separates phantom center content from left and right content. With CenterOne, you can zero in on the phantom center and bring out or bring down the vocals without affecting everything else.

For post-production engineers and DJs as well, CenterOne lets you re-position, isolate, and even eliminate elements of your mix.

Key Features:

• Center prominence allows you to bring the center panned signal within a stereo mix (phantom center) forward or bring it back by up to 6dB without changing any of the panorama.
• Center extraction from a stereo mix.
• Left, center and right plugin outputs so they can be processed separately.
• Possibility to put a bandpass filter on the center channel so you can zoom in on a center instrument. All frequencies outside the band filter get sent to the left and right outputs.
• Combining left, center and right plugin outputs gives you a bit-identical copy of the original signal.
• Beautiful retina interface with unique design, focused on the optimal workflow.

Applications:

• Mastering - Production - Mixing - Post-production.
• Change lead vocal levels during mastering.
• Upmixing stereo into 5.1 (left/right into left/center/right).
• Accentuate or tame the overheads in your drum submix.
• Add high-end sparkle to side content without affecting center information like vocal, kick, and snare.
• Bring out just the kick and snare in a drum loop.
• Enhance the room ambience on stereo percussion tracks.
• In post production, focus dialogue captured with stereo microphones.
• Lower vocals in songs for Karaoke versions.

Leapwing Audio CenterOne is now available for EUR 199, USD 199 or GBP 179, supporting both Windows and Mac OS X in VST2, VST3, Audio Units, and AAX plugin formats.
