MidSide 0.2.0 — public beta

A Mid/Side encoder/decoder plug-in: shape a stereo mix in the Mid/Side domain, or decode a raw M/S microphone pair to stereo.

  • Input Mode: Stereo (L/R), or Mid-Side for an M/S mic pair recorded to two tracks and panned hard left/right into MidSide.
  • Mid and Side level, Mid/Side mute and Side polarity invert, plus Width from mono to double width.
  • Two-band shelving EQ on Mid and on Side, independently.
  • Linked stereo output limiter with adjustable ceiling and optional lookahead.
  • Mid/Side and output meters, phase correlation, gain reduction, and a Fold to Mono button for checking mono compatibility.
  • Light and Dark themes. Ctrl+Click (Cmd+Click on Mac) returns a control to its default, and double-clicking a value lets you type one in.
  • No added latency (unless the limiter's Lookahead is on), with 64-bit internal processing.

Downloads

  • macOS 12+, Apple Silicon: MidSide-0.2.0-macOS.pkg (VST3, AAX; signed and notarized)

Both installers let you choose VST3, AAX or both. In Pro Tools, MidSide is a stereo plug-in: it appears on stereo tracks, auxes and buses, under Sound Field.

Beta notes

  • This is pre-release software: please don't rely on it for work you can't redo.
  • Turning the limiter's Lookahead on adds a few milliseconds of latency, and your DAW may briefly re-sync when you switch it.
