S1 Stereo Imager (V9) - Latency The table below indicates how much latency is produced by each plugin, in samples. Not all plugins support all platforms (MultiRack, StudioRack, eMotion, Venue). The Waves S1 Stereo Imager Native plug-in gives you the ability to reshape and rebalance your stereo field quickly and intuitively, with outstanding Waves sound quality. Width control allows you to widen or narrow the perceived 'wideness' of your mix, while Rotation and Asymmetry controls give you the ability to correct unbalanced stereo.
Stereo imaging during the production/mixing process
We often hear the terms of「mono/stereo」.
By controlling these, we can prevent sounds from overlapping too much,
and create a wider sound.
Here we will look at controlling sound with the「WAVES S1 Imager」.

Changing the track to mono
A track that’s wide isn’t the ideal sound for everything.
Layering sounds with other sounds correctly, and keeping the big picture in mind is key.
The track will become「mono」by completely lowering the「width」.
By raising the「Width」instead, you can widen the sound.
Where to apply the S1 Imager
Where the「S1 Imager」is applied is crucial.
For example, placing it after a「Reverb」allows you to control the reverb space.
By placing it before the「Reverb」,
the reverb effect itself wont be effected by the「S1 Imager」.
Find which works better for your sound,
and try out different placements.
Along with the topic above, check out「Controlling placements in a space」with a send & return as well.
