Intelligent Mid/Side tone matching with automatic resonance cleanup.
MS Studio is the first Mid/Side-aware tone matcher with automatic resonance cleanup, so you can align any source to a reference while preserving natural width and front-center clarity.
MS Studio thinks in Mid and Side independently, creating smart curves for your input while cleaning resonances and preserving your mix's natural space and focus.
Matches tone separately in Mid and Side, so the center stays focused while space stays wide.
Finds harsh bands in Mid or Side and tames them transparently.
Boost caps, smoothing, and auto-gain keep results musical, not just technical.
Watch how Mid/Side-aware tone matching with automatic resonance cleanup transforms your sound while preserving natural width and clarity.
"I prefer MS Studio to Waves AQ and Sonible Smart EQ. It sounds more in line with what I'd like to hear: more like 'correction' while others tend to make things sound 'different'. I really like that it's quite gentle, guarding against making things sound ugly. It automatically sets up with reasonable M/S settings right out of the gate, which is huge. Factor in the side attack function, width, M/S balance faders, and tape for the mids: it's very well thought out."
Drop a target, let MS Studio listen, and watch smart curves appear for Mid and Side. You control how much to match, balance, and shape.
Choose from factory presets (Balanced, Pop, Rock, EDM, Vocal Solo, Drum Bus) or drop your own reference track.
MS Studio analyzes your source vs reference, learning both Mid and Side independently.
See separate curves for Mid/Side. Resonance Clean applies automatically, taming harsh frequencies.
Fine-tune Match %, Mid/Side balance, Width, Tilt, Side HP, and Mix.
Auto shows Target until it captures input, then switches to Smart.
Target = reference only. Smart = your calculated correction.
Toggle Smart ↔ Target instantly to A/B.
Dial in exactly how much matching, balancing, and shaping you want. Every control is designed to preserve musicality.
How closely to follow the target curve. Subtle nudge or full alignment.
Balance center vs space independently with dual faders.
Widen or narrow the stereo field safely without phase issues.
Amount of auto resonance reduction—musical, not surgical.
Keep bass mono-solid; clean up the sides for clarity.
Fast dark/bright tilt without rebuilding the curve.
Align to a vibe while preserving image integrity and natural space.
Presence and clarity with sibilance under control—front and center.
Guitars, pianos, drums—match the tone you love without losing character.
"Quite a surprising tool. I thought my mix was already in a good place, but MS Studio brought it to life in a new way. After checking on different systems, it was clear it’s worth the price - simple on the surface yet doing incredible things. More intuitive than Ozone, and my mixes sounded fuller and more focused."
24 curated factory targets across multiple genres and applications. Add your own custom targets, just drop and save.
"MS Studio is impressive. I don't have another plug that is exactly like it. SlickEQ M and Ozone's reference matching are the closest in the toolbox for similar task. But neither offer a streamline approach to m/s EQ like MS Studio.."
Instantly toggle between your calculated Smart curve and the Target reference. Fast A/B comparison to hear exactly what MS Studio is doing to your sound.
Choose Gentle or Standard modes to shape how aggressively MS Studio matches and smooths. Gentle for subtle corrections, Standard for fuller alignment.
Capture your source once, then audition different target references without re-capturing. Fast workflow for comparing multiple tone goals on the same material.
Fine-tune with Match %, independent Mid/Side levels, Tilt EQ, Side Attack, and Mid Tape. Full control over every aspect of your tone shaping.
The match curve is no longer fixed. Drag any node on the graph to shape the generated Mid and Side response by hand. The result you hear stays exactly where you put it.
Four reasons M/S matching is the only way to do this right.
Vocals, bass, and punch live in the mid. Space, width, and air live in the sides. Correcting them together forces compromises - M/S lets you fix each space independently.
Matching a stereo curve to a different mix structure can collapse width or shift tone unnaturally. M/S matching aligns each domain separately, so the result stays natural and stable.
Mastering engineers rely on M/S to make subtle, musical changes that avoid harming the mix. M/S tone correction is inherently safer, smoother, and more "mix-respectful" than stereo processing.
MS Studio carries over the mid/side learnings from our Soren mastering engine—but now with real-time, per-band mid/side correction. This is a mastering-grade workflow applied to a plugin you can use anywhere in your mix.
