Dime [ms] Makes Mid/Side Easy ‘No Complicated Signal Routing, No Phase Issues, No Stress ‘
Time Off Audio has launched Dime [ms], a new plugin host that enables you to conveniently employ mid/side processing with any of your existing plugin effects.
Mid/side processing is a mixing and mastering technique that has a whole host of useful applications, from practical tasks such as targeted EQ and compression to more creative sound design effects.
Splitting a signal into mid and side channels, Dime [ms] lets you insert up to four VST3/AU plugins from your library into each channel for targeted processing, displaying the mid/side balance in real-time on its stereo width visualizer.
Solo buttons allow you to audition the processing being applied to each channel, and volume compensation can be applied with input/output gain controls. Up to 10 parameters from any hosted plugins can also be mapped to macros on Dime [ms]’s interface. Time Off Audio tell us that the plugin’s efficient architecture means it introduces no added latency and is light on your CPU.
“From mixing and mastering to post-production and sound design, Dime [ms] lets you create your dream mid/side processing chains with ease,” reads a statement from Time Off Audio. “No complicated signal routing, no phase issues, no stress.”
Available in AU/VST3/AAX formats, Dime [ms] is available now for an introductory price of $/€19 (RRP $/€29).
