Purpose and Audience

M/S Processor is an Audiobus-compatible iOS application intended for audio professionals requiring Mid/Side (M/S) signal processing.

Functionality

While the most common use case for M/S Processor is decoding a Mid/Side signal into two components (Left and Right), the reverse process (encoding) is also possible. A third mode, Inline mode, is also included. In this mode, a stereo signal is encoded into Mid and Side components, and finally decoded into stereo again. This 2-in-1 mode is useful for tasks such as narrowing or widening the stereo image, or muting the Mid or Side channels independently for creative or experimental purposes.

Audiobus Integration

M/S Processor is most useful when used as an Audiobus filter. In this case, M/S Processor can be used to process audio before feeding it into any other Audiobus-compatible audio application such as Apple's Garageband for recording and further processing.
