Waves S1 Stereo Imager

Create a massive spread of background vocals or layered guitars. Push reverb and delay further away from the center. Tilt the stereo image. Correct unbalanced loops and stereo mixes. This suite of three plugins has everything you need to alter width, stereo positioning, and stereo imaging.

Whether using the S1 Imager to enhance stereo, S1 Shuffler to also widen bass (with full mono compatibility), or the S1 MS utility for mid-side processing, this toolkit will upgrade your image.

S1: The Stereo Image Toolkit

Collapse tracks to mono, spread tracks out to create extra-wide stereo, and expand reverb for greater stereo focus. Even fix unbalanced stereo imaging—tilt the image asymmetrically, then position it in the stereo field.

Bring out the Best in Bass

Make rhythm guitars beefier, prevent a drum kit’s toms from being overshadowed, and add extra girth to any stereo mix. S1 Shuffler adds two more controls to broaden low frequencies, yet remains mono-compatible.

Into the Matrix

Use the MS Matrix encoder/decoder utility plugin to do mid-side processing. Split audio into mid and sides with the encoder, process them separately, then decode the processed outputs back into stereo.

Features:

1. S1 Imager enhances imaging with stereo mixes
2. S1 Shuffler also widens bass, yet retains full mono compatibility
3. Widen buses, stereo tracks, or even full mixes
4. Powerful alternative to panning provides more mixdown flexibility
5. Give mixes more width, size, and authority
6. Create mid-side processing with the MS Matrix utility plugin
