Brauer Motion Black Friday pricing from Waves gives this spherical auto-panning plugin 69% off, so it costs $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026. It moves sounds around the stereo field in ways standard left/right panning can't.
The maker says the plugin was created with Grammy-winning mix engineer Michael Brauer, whose use of space on mixes for Coldplay, Florence & the Machine and John Mayer is the stated inspiration.
The maker describes it as panning that goes beyond left/right into spherical motion. Sounds can drift inside the mix as a subtle psycho-acoustic effect on pads and reverb, or spin around in exaggerated, roller-coaster movement.
The maker calls it unlike any other tool in your toolkit, and positions it as a source of creative inspiration rather than a corrective processor.
Two panners with four paths each gives you eight movement shapes to work with across the pair. You can run them separately or link them.
Sync-to-tempo ties the motion to your session grid, so a sweep can land in time with the track.
The maker lists several uses. You can make any sound dance within the stereo field, or push sounds toward the front or further back.
Placed on a bus or send, a light touch on reverb returns lets the tail wander a little without drawing attention. Pushed harder, the same plugin makes the movement the whole point of the sound.
This stereo width plugin runs on Mac and PC.
If your DAW loads AU, VST or AAX plugins on those systems, you can use this Brauer Motion VST in it.
Yes. The Brauer Motion Black Friday deal from Waves takes 69% off, so the plugin costs $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
It's a Waves auto-panning plugin developed with Grammy-winning mix engineer Michael Brauer. It goes beyond left/right panning into spherical motion, letting sounds move within the stereo field and toward the front or back of the mix.
On Mac it comes as VST, AU and AAX and needs macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 or Sequoia 15. On PC it comes as VST and AAX and needs Windows 10 or later.
The maker lists subtle shifts on percussion to avoid static parts, motion on pads, swells and orchestral sections, and moving background vocals off-center to leave space for the lead. It also lets you place sounds nearer or further back.
