Unmatched stereo control
Gain unprecedented control over stereo information, allowing for intricate sound shaping and precise adjustments to vocal levels and stereo width in your mixes.
KEY FEATURES
The Dangerous Music S&M is an analogue sum and difference (mid-side) processor that offers engineers unprecedented control over stereo information. This device taps into the endless possibilities afforded by an engineer’s collection of outboard gear and creative vision. It facilitates intricate sound shaping by incorporating techniques such as compression, limiting, EQ, and de-essing.
Applications in Mastering
Mastering engineers benefit greatly from the S&M’s ability to rescue tracks that seem beyond repair. It adjusts vocal levels directly, corrects imbalances in stereo width, and selectively de-esses cymbals without affecting the central elements of a mix.
Utility in Mixing
Mix engineers find the S&M indispensable for isolating snare drums from overbearing overheads, enhancing the stereo spread of weak synths, and meticulously tailoring the stereo image of a mix without compromising the tonal integrity.
Creative Mixing Techniques
Innovative uses in the mix room include aggressively limiting the centre of a drum overhead pair while maintaining the sparkle and breadth of the sides. Running reverb and effects returns through the S&M to widen the stereo field enhances the mix’s depth. Expanding the rear channels in surround setups adds a remarkable depth and soundstage, all achieved through state-of-the-art analogue circuitry.
