Waves – MS processing with MS Matrix
Raising sound with MS processing
MS processing is an edit used during the「mastering」process, to edit the
generally loud center and
generally quiet sides individually.
By raising the volume on the sides, the song will widen and lead to an increase in loudness as well.
We have different articles prepared for MS processing via different softwares.
However, this process can be tricky.
What makes this tedious process easy is the「MS Matrix」.
Video key point – Applying to the master track
Apply the「MS Matrix」to the master track.
Be sure that your MIX is already finished at this point.
It is divided into
「L」being「center」
「R」being「side」
Video key point – Exporting as an audio file
You can individually edit「L」&「R」and apply「EQ」「Comp」,
but we recommend「exporting to audio」first to make this process easier.
Be sure to「separate channels」when exporting.
Video key point – MS processing
Import the「audio files」previously exported.
The audio files pre-exporting.
Send「center」to「L」
and「side」to「R」.
Apply「MS Matrix」to the master track again.
This brings everything back to the same sound as before.
You can now apply volume and effect edits on just the「side」.
Last, adjust the loudness as a whole on the「master track」and you’re done!
