Center Black Friday pricing from Waves is 69% off, which puts this stereo width plugin at $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
Center is a tool for reshaping stereo mixes that are already printed. It separates what sits in the middle of the image from what sits at the sides, so you can adjust each part on its own.
The maker says it boils complex mid-side processing down into something quick to use.
You can widen or narrow the stereo image, shift the balance between center-panned and side-panned sounds, and raise or lower a lead vocal. Drum loops can be remixed too.
The maker also points to reducing mud and bringing out bus effects, all without the multitrack session.
If a mix is split between center and sides, Center gives you control over both halves.
Center from Waves isolates whatever sits in the middle of a stereo mix and lets you treat it apart from the side content. You can adjust vocal level in a finished mix, spread the stereo image for extra clarity and punch, and make room for centered elements when stereo pads crowd the track. It also helps rework old mixes when the original multitracks are gone, and it can tighten low frequencies ahead of vinyl mastering, so it earns a place in mastering as well. The maker mentions fine-tuning and even remixing tracks there, from changing vocal levels to making room for synth pads.
Center runs as VST, AU and AAX on Mac, and as VST and AAX on Windows. That covers the three main plugin formats, so check which one your DAW loads.
On Mac, Waves lists macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. On PC, it lists Windows 10 or later.
