Mathew Lane audiotools are innovative new solutions, created when no other hardware or software could be found suitable for the task.
The DrMS spatial processor celebrates its 10th anniversary, innovating stereo spatial processing since 2008. It was quickly widely accepted by audio professionals as a unique plugin and being used by top producers and engineers on songs by well known artists such as Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay and many others. Legendary mix engineer Dave Pensado is a fan and has been showing the use of DrMS on several of his Pensado's Place Into The Lair videos.
DrMS is available as AAX/AU/VST/VST3 plugin for Mac and PC, with a wide range of applications for mixing, mastering and post production - going from simple MS (Mid-Side) encoding/decoding, over stereo field width and depth enhancement, to fixing mono compatibility issues and more.
DrMS now also has a little brother called StereoDelta, as well as a hardware sibling, the OnTheMoon Spacecraft analog spatial processor.
