You can edit, process, and monitor audio material in the left/right and in the mid/side domain. In addition to doing so in the Waveform display, you can use mid/side editing for spectral editing, where it allows you to limit editing to the mid or the side channel, for example.
You can use the LR/MS toggle button at the bottom left of the overview and the main view to switch between left/right and mid/side mode. The upper track displays the mid signal, and the lower track displays the side signal. The overview and the main view have independent LR/MS controls. This allows you to display the left/right channels in the overview and the mid/side channels in the main view, for example.
Even though the audio samples are visualized in mid/side mode in the Audio Editor, they are transmitted to the Master Section in their original left/right encoding. This process applies to both playback and rendering scenarios. To perform M/S processing in the Master Section, consider utilizing the M/S encode/decoder plug-ins that are included in WaveLab Pro. For detailed information about the available plug-ins, see the separate document Plug-in Reference.
