DrMS offers a fresh approach to stereo audio manipulation by expanding on traditional Mid-Side processing. Instead of splitting the stereo signal into two parts, it divides it into four distinct sections, providing enhanced control over the stereo field. This approach allows users to zoom in, add depth, adjust width, or combine these effects to shape the audio spatially in innovative ways.

Each section features resonant high-pass filters to clean the low frequencies, tilt equalizers to smooth the highs, and sample-based delay lines that create subtle timing shifts between sections. These elements work together to produce varied and dynamic changes in the stereo image. This design supports a wide range of audio tasks, from simple MS encoding and decoding to advanced stereo enhancement and mono compatibility correction.

DrMS is suitable for mixing, mastering, and post-production workflows, offering tools that adapt to different creative needs. It includes an autogain function for seamless A/B comparisons, ensuring consistent output levels. Compatible with multiple plugin formats on both Mac and Windows, it features a modern interface with a central phase scope and precise parameter control. The plugin also incorporates mastering-grade filters and feedback circuits for special effects, backed by presets crafted by renowned engineers.
