| I'm trying to remember the effect that can change a sound from the centre of the stereo field to the sides so that you can compress or eq the sides differently than the centre. If anyone can tell me i would appreciate it. Thanks. |

| Stereo Enhancer doesn't allow you to process the sides different than the centre. It just slightly delays the signal to one side. |

| dunno what you're talking about, really. but you could always mix down your stereo track to mono, and throw in 2 tracks (1 stereo and 1 mono) and have independent track controls and settings that way |

Gahhh... I just read about a sequencer that had this as one of it's new features, but can't recall which one it is. I'll let you know if I remember.

Yes! Thank you. I kept thinking CS (center/side). |

Here's a free one: Voxengo MSED.
Yeah, there are EQ and compressor plugins that have built-in M/S processors but you don't need that, just stick an M/S converter in one slot, a bunch of plugins in the successive slots, and another M/S processor at the end to convert it back.
If I'm not mistaken, there's just one algorithm to convert stereo to M/S and back, so there's nothing really to recommend, just pick one and use it. |

| Only problem with MSED is it doesn't kill either center or side, it just lowers or raises them by -+12dB. So using that won't give you complete seperation. |

Of course, because it has a knob to decide how much it cuts by, you can work around this by placing a few in a row and cutting by 12dB more than once. |
