Waves UM225 / UM226

With surround and immersive becoming increasingly important, upmixing from legacy stereo audio to these formats is essential. The UM225/UM226 plugins convert stereo audio to 5.0 or 5.1 surround simply and effectively—whether upmixing an entire film or TV show, or just the music.

The UM upmixers cover your conversion needs with 8 modes to spread various types of program material intelligently to L/R and L/R surround speakers, and surround-stage fine-tuning controls.

Features:

1. Two upmixing components: UM225 for 5.0, and UM226 for 5.1
2. Ambience controls create smaller or larger surround stages
3. UM226 LoAir adds octave-lower harmonic for “rumble” and FX
4. Intuitively displays the spread of energy in the surround field
5. For stereo-only remixing, widen the image, control lows and punch
6. 8 modes spread sound intelligently to L/R and L/R surround speakers
7. Punch controls spread transients optimally between L/R and center
8. UM226 includes 4th-order, low frequency filter for LFE speaker
9. Output trims for L/R, Center, L/R surround, and (UM-226) LFE stages
10. Upmix global control for balancing the stereo/surround mixes
