New MCenter Plugin Unlocks Full Stereo Signal Potential

MeldaProduction, a music production and audio processing software company from the Czech Republic, announced a plugin called MCenter, which is able to find true mid-side balance or do a full stage manipulation of the stereo signal while detecting the elusive ‘phantom center’ by employing a complex spectral algorithm. This powerful plugin enables effective control over stereo qualities, going beyond traditional mid-side processing by offering advanced frequency analysis.
 
MeldaProduction's MCenter lets users control the stereo image of a mixed signal by constantly analyzing the content and locating the relative phantom center by employing a complex spectral algorithm that separates what really sounds stereo and really sounds mono, which is not actually the case with mid-side processing. This makes MCenter a useful plugin not only for mastering, but for every occasion where true mid-side balance is needed — it works well when mixing but also as a creative tool.

For users who don't want too much technical detail, MCenter’s single-knob operation offers simple Center/Sides control that allows to truly balance the center and side parts of the stereo signal instantly. Comparing and contrasting results also comes quickly to MCenter, thanks to its dual-processing capabilities combining the accuracy of spectral processing with traditional mid-side operation. Then, users can quickly choose an approach that best suits their creative needs. 

For those who want to refine the process, they can dive into detailed frequency manipulation using MCenter’s freeform drawing capability. Controlling each frequency can be achieved separately, allowing users to sculpt their sound with precision by shaping the response of individual frequency bands.

MCenter is available for free until February 18, 2024 in MeldaProduction’s online shop and dedicated webpage that also includes more in-depth information. A time-limited introductory price of only €9 EUR will be available until March 10, 2024, rising thereafter to its regular price of €49 EUR.

A 15-day, fully-functional trial version of MCenter is always available by downloading the latest (MAudioPlugins) universal installer of MeldaProduction tools — which include all the company's virtual effect and instrument plug-ins in 64-bit AAX-, AU-, VST- and VST3-compatible formats for macOS (10.14 or newer) and 64-bit AAX-, VST-, and VST3-compatible formats for Windows.
