Ideal for final mixes and mastering, Waves Center is an innovative new processor that separates phantom Center content from Side (L/R) content. With Center, you can zero in on the phantom center and bring out or bring down the vocals without affecting everything else. Perfect for post-production engineers and DJs as well, Center lets you reposition, isolate, and even eliminate elements of your mix.

Using a unique dynamic engine which considers the amplitude, frequency, and time envelope of stereo sources, Center gives you the power to radically re-balance your spatial imagery. Adjustable punch, high frequency, and low frequency controls let you enhance detail with maximum impact.

Waves Center is ideal for a wide range of audio applications:

Post Production
¢ Enhance dialog or narration
¢ Control the ambience/reverb of stereo location recordings
¢ Improve mono compatibility

Mixing and Mastering
¢ Bring out the lead vocals in a finished mix
¢ Re-image stereo drum overheads
¢ Balance stereo recordings of individual or groups of acoustic instruments
¢ Widen or narrow the stereo spread

DJ
¢ Remove vocals for karaoke
¢ Remove instrumental tracks for remixes and mash-ups
¢ Manipulate samples and drum loops

These are the controls:
¢ High controls balance of high frequency content between the Center and Sides. 0 - 100 (0=Center)
¢ Low controls balance of low frequency content between the Center and Sides. 0 - 100 (0=Center)
¢ Punch controls the spread of transient content between the Center and Sides. 0 - 100 (0=Center)
¢ Center controls the Center gain. +6dB to Off
¢ Sides controls the Sides gain +6dB to Off
¢ Master Gain controls the overall stereo gain. +6dB to -24dB
¢ Output Meters displays the stereo output after processing. 0 dBFS to -36 dBFS
