Waves UM225 / UM226
2 Stereo to Surround Upmixing Plugins
Convert Stereo Music, Videos and Films to Surround
With surround and immersive becoming increasingly important, upmixing from legacy stereo audio to these formats is essential.
The UM225/UM226 plugins convert stereo audio to 5.0 or 5.1 surround simply and effectively - whether upmixing an entire film or TV show, or just the music.
The UM upmixers cover your conversion needs with 8 modes to spread various types of program material intelligently to L/R and L/R surround speakers, and surround-stage fine-tuning controls.
