Ideal for final mixes and mastering, Waves Center is an innovative new processor that separates phantom Center content from Side (L/R) content. With Center, you can zero in on the phantom center and bring out or bring down the vocals without affecting everything else. Perfect for post-production engineers and DJs as well, Center lets you reposition, isolate, and even eliminate elements of your mix.

Using a unique dynamic engine which considers the amplitude, frequency, and time envelope of stereo sources, Center gives you the power to radically re-balance your spatial imagery. Adjustable punch, high frequency, and low frequency controls let you enhance detail with maximum impact.

Controls

High controls balance of high frequency content between the Center and Sides. 0 - 100 (0=Center)

Low controls balance of low frequency content between the Center and Sides. 0 - 100 (0=Center)

Punch controls the spread of transient content between the Center and Sides. 0 - 100 (0=Center)

Center controls the Center gain. +6dB to Off

Sides controls the Sides gain +6dB to Off

Master Gain controls the overall stereo gain. +6dB to -24dB

Output Meters displays the stereo output after processing. 0 dBFS to -36 dBFS

Center Detection Meter Displays the Center content of the stereo source
