MSED is a specialized audio plug-in designed to manipulate stereo signals by encoding and decoding them into mid and side components. This process allows for greater control over the spatial characteristics of a mix, enabling precise adjustments to the center and the edges of the stereo field. By splitting the incoming stereo signal, users can isolate the mid (center) and side (stereo) elements for targeted processing.

The plug-in also offers the option to work with mono and stereo pairs, providing flexibility in how audio is managed. Whether you need to decode a mid/side signal back into a traditional stereo format or encode a stereo signal into its mid/side components, MSED handles these tasks efficiently. This dual functionality makes it a valuable tool for mixing engineers aiming to enhance stereo imaging and balance.

MSED’s straightforward interface and reliable performance make it suitable for a wide range of audio production scenarios, from subtle stereo enhancements to creative sound design. Its ability to seamlessly switch between encoding and decoding modes ensures that users can integrate it smoothly into their workflow, improving control over spatial audio elements without complexity.
