Take Command of Center and Sides in Mixed Tracks
It's never too late to refine a 'completed' stereo mix. With Waves Center, you can effortlessly widen or narrow the stereo image, adjust the balance of side or center - panned sounds, tweak lead vocals, remix drum loops, reduce muddiness, or enhance bus effects, even without access to the multitrack session.
Center simplifies complex mid - side processing into a user - friendly tool.
Now, you can fine - tune and 'remix' tracks during mastering, from adjusting vocal levels to creating more space for synth pads. If the audio is split between center and sides, Center gives you full control.
Features
- Isolate the center 'phantom' channel from the sides
- Adjust vocal levels in pre - mixed tracks

Using Waves Center is a breeze. First, open your already - mixed track in your audio editing software. Then, load the Waves Center plugin. You can start by separating the center channel from the sides to have more control over the sound balance. To change vocal levels, just find the relevant controls and adjust them to your liking. For a wider stereo image, use the option to widen the stereo imaging. When working with stereo pads, you can easily open up space for center - mixed sounds. If you're doing vinyl mastering, remember to narrow the low frequencies. As for maintenance, keep your Waves Center plugin updated to ensure optimal performance. Make sure your audio editing software is also up - to - date to avoid any compatibility issues. And always back up your projects regularly to prevent data loss.
