In the world of digital audio, where every nuance matters, the ability to precisely control tonal balance and stereo field width is critically important for achieving a professional sound. Meet MSter Balance – a powerful VST plugin from Ourafilmes, designed to give you this control with an intuitive interface and intelligent algorithms.
Advanced Sound Control
MSter Balance is not just an equalizer or a stereo widener. It is a tool that integrates several important processes into a single plugin, allowing you to quickly and effectively shape the sound of your track. At its core lies a transparent crossover filter that masterfully divides the input signal into two main bands: a low-frequency one (which remains in mono) and a high-frequency one (which is processed in stereo).
Intelligent Algorithm and Band Division
This intelligent signal division is a key element of MSter Balance. It allows you to preserve the strength and focus of the low frequencies, which are vital for the foundation of any composition, while simultaneously giving you the freedom to manipulate the stereo image of the high-frequency components. You get the ability to finely tune the balance between these two bands, achieving the perfect tonal ratio.
After the bands are separated and balanced, the signal goes to the Mid-Side processor. This is another extremely important processing stage, which opens the door for complete control over the stereo field. You can adjust the balance between the central (Mid) and side (Side) parts of the stereo signal, allowing you to widen or narrow the stereo image, isolate individual instruments in the mix, or create unique spatial effects.
Additional Features for Final Polishing
MSter Balance is also equipped with a final gain stage, which allows you to compensate for any changes in volume level that may occur during processing. This is convenient for quickly comparing the sound “before” and “after” applying the plugin, ensuring that your processing decisions are based on the real impact on tone and stereo, not on the perception of volume.
In addition, the plugin has a built-in limiter, which is activated at 0 dB FS. This is a simple but effective protection against digital clipping, which can be useful at the mixing or even light mastering stages, ensuring that your signal remains clean and without distortions at the output.
Versatility and the Legacy of Ourafilmes
MSter Balance is based on proven technologies used in several other successful VST plugins from Ourafilmes, such as Master, Bass Bus, M/S EQ, and Speaker Blower. This is evidence of its reliability and effectiveness, proven by time and other developer tools.
Large, convenient control knobs make working with the plugin extremely intuitive and pleasant. You can quickly adjust key parameters, focusing on the creative process, not on complex menus or numerous controls.
This plugin is a universal tool that will find its place in your workflow, regardless of what you do: tracking, mixing, or mastering. It is great for solving a wide range of tasks, including:
- Applying tonal effects and shaping the sound of instruments or the mix.
- Precise equalizing and filtering, including taking into account the separation into bands.
- Controlling and shaping reverb tails and other spatial effects.
- Detailed control of the width and depth of the stereo field.
- Correction or creative work with the phase of the signal.
Key Features:
- Full automation support for all plugin parameters in your DAW.
- MIDI Learn function: quickly assign physical MIDI controllers to control the plugin’s knobs (just right-click on the knob).
- Zero Latency: the plugin does not introduce any delay into the audio signal, making it ideal for use during recording or live performances.
MSter Balance is not just another plugin in your collection. It’s a tool that can significantly simplify and improve your sound processing process, giving you powerful and flexible control over the most important aspects of sound: tone and space. If you strive for a clean, focused, and professionally balanced sound, MSter Balance from Ourafilmes is worth your attention.
