Post-production engineers and DJs can also find good use for the plug-in, as CenterOne lets you reposition, isolate, and even eliminate elements of your mix.

Users can eliminate or bring down phantom center content from left and right content with CenterOne.

CenterOne is available for $199.00.

Audio Vitamins releases Structure, a new gain staging workflow tool.

Structure takes out the tedious task of using meter and trim plug-ins or applying gain reduction directly on the files to get a solid foundation level for mixing. It has been designed to be the first plug-in inserted on a given track, but can also be used as the last. Structure has also been developed with an ALL button so that you can make changes to plug-in settings across the entire mix, reanalyzing all instances without having to open each plug-in individually.

Structure is available for $25.
