Re: bx_control V2 or Waves Center

I do find the mono maker handy, and I do find the punch, hi and low controls just as handy. Ideally, you'd have both. Even more ideally someone will put all of these in the one plugin. I've never had any Phase issues with these, I often A/B with a mono mix. However, I opt for better panning and mix placements before turning to these to add a tiny bit of overall enhancement. So I never use copious amounts of it. |

If you record something with one mic, it will be mono regardless how many times you duplicate it, because there will be only M content in it, and no S content (in other words, there will be no difference between left and right channel). If you want to make such recording stereo, you need to somehow generate this difference between left and right, which actually is the S component. Plugins like Waves Center do not generate the S component, they just manipulate the pre-existing S (and M) component(s). |

Re: bx_control V2 or Waves Center
I finally got around to demoing TG the other day. I didn't have enough time to read the manual and really get in too deep. The Spread feature is WAY more subtle than I expected. I liked the More is More preset.
I also bought bx_control V2 and it made me realize that I have a long way to go, in terms of understanding M/S and how to use it proper. Until I can read the manual this plug is useless to me. I tried the width feature and got some bizarre results depending how the L/R, M/S in/out section is set. Last edited by adam79; 08-30-2017 at 06:34 AM. |

It's funny because I was thinking in the context of stereo widener, so it didn't ring a bell because it was used in a different context. Its funny how our brains work at times. I must admit if never tried the TG in Mid-Side mode, I have many other tools I use for that role, namely Plugin Alliance and H-EQ. I mainly opt to work with reducing the width of stereo sources and pan them counterpoint to another source occupying a similar part of the audio spectrum. I use mon makers to help tidy up the bottom end a bit and wideners on busses, just a few percent, to just polish my pan decisions. |

I've tried the TG in M/S mode and it's not my first-call plugin for that, especially now that I have the bx_digital V3 eq - that thing is amazing at crafting the sound. My other fav for M/S is the Passeq - on low frequency that things kills it; you do have to wrap your head around how it works to get the sound you want though. |

Re: bx_control V2 or Waves Center
That's one of the biggies that's different with the bx_hybrid and why I didn't buy it - no mid/side.

bx_digital is the monster

Re: bx_control V2 or Waves Center
It's quickly become my go-to fix-it plugin for eq.
