Download Blue Cat's Widening Meter Pro 1.0

Blue Cat's Widening Meter Pro is a unique tool based on the same principles as the Peak Meter Pro plug-in: it lets you monitor the Peak and RMS envelope of the mid and side parts of the audio signal and can also be used to control other effects with this information: Monitor the mid and side envelopes evolution over time on a graph. Record the output and transformed output envelopes as automation curves and either assign them to other parameters of other effects or use them as reference information about your audio signal. Control other effects parameters in real time with these envelopes, thanks to the Widening Meter MIDI Output capability: you can now use any signal of any track to control any parameter of any other effect, in real time! You can thus achieve real time side-chain processing for stereo enhancement very easily. Just download the freeware Gain Suite plug-ins and you are ready to go! Real time mid-side ducking is only a few mouse clicks away... See the related Widening Meter Pro Tutorials. Additional information about stereo widening with mid/side processing can be found in this paper.
