the MS-balance (VST Steinberg) plug-in seems to have disappeared in W7. I cannot find a substitute. Why has it gone, and what plugin could be used instead of it?
I find this plugin useful to settle a restless stereo image and make it quiet by amplifying -just a little- the mid channel in a stereo file.
Arguably the most powerful stereo field/spatial field processor available.
If you don’t need that kind of power and elegance (and who doesn’t from time to time) you could try BitterSweet from Flux (free): Download - FLUX:: Immersive
Hi I have just answered your question on my thread from jun.
Sorry I did not see it until now, but maybe I can ask you about another plugin that I still use in Wavelab 6.
It seems to be missing in Wavelab 7,thats the VST Dynamics with Compressor,Soft Clip and Auto Gate.
Maybe its in another plugin I cant find.
We still use Wavelab 6 because Wavelab 7 is not loading Waves Mastering Bundle L316.
But we think about using it more later.
Best Regards
Bear
It looks to me like your VST Dynamics plug, with a new UI, is in the VST3 group.
If you are considering a third party plug, maybe have a look at Sonnox Dynamics. Written originally by Paul Frindle (FWIW, big fan of Paul, Dave Gamble and PG when it comes to getting this sort of thing right and sounding good).
