Dangerous Music S&M

The Dangerous Music S&M mid-side processing matrix is revered in the mixing and mastering community. Insert your favorite outboard, split your stereo into Mid and Sides and get to work. Juice up the overall top end then de-ess that vocal without destroying the ethereal shimmer on the sides. Take your ‘perfect' drum sound from a stereo pair of overheads, where the snare is too loud and resolve it in seconds with a limiter on the Sum channel. Peel back the mung from the bass so it punches hard, without choking the guitars or synths. Deploy it classically or experimentally as a most potent creation tool.

We say it isn't over, even after it's over. The Dangerous S&M separates any stereo track into a center and side matrix yielding previously unattainable control over the entire stereo field.
