Create the ultimate stereo mix

Separate the mid and side channels on any audio track and create effect chains on each channel to control the stereo image. 

Improve your stereo mix with dedicated mid-side processing

• Are stereo phase issues making your low-end sound weak?
• Are reverb and delay effects drowning out your tracks?
• Tired of duplicating tracks for targeted processing?

dime[ms] solves these issues by enabling you to:

• Create audio fx chains that target your mid frequencies and side channels separately
• Monitor the mid-side balance in real-time with stereo field visualization
• Achieve wider stereo image by targeting specific frequencies in the mix

Achieve a better, wider mix

There are hundreds of ways to use dime[ms] to improve your mix.

• Add subtle saturation to the sides of your track while keeping the body of of the synth focused in the center.
• Or boost the high-end of the mid channel for added presence without affecting the width.
