Waves Brauer Motion

Brauer Motion

Create moving, 3D-like spherical auto-panning effects

Amplify Emotion with Motion

Brauer Motion takes panning into a new world of spherical motion that goes beyond conventional left/right panning. Now sounds can move within a mix, whether as a subtle, psycho-acoustic effect applied to pads and reverb, or extreme roller-coaster movement that spins and energizes.

Created with Grammy winner Michael Brauer—who is famous for his use of space on mixes for Coldplay, Florence & the Machine, and John Mayer—this plugin is all about creative inspiration. It’s like no other tool in your toolkit.

Pan, Spin, Bounce and Animate Your Music

Space—the Final Frontier

The right use of space can quickly take a mix from dull to exciting. Yet unlike EQ, dynamics, or reverb/delay, using motion to enhance mixes is relatively unexplored. By incorporating flexible, novel, sophisticated auto-panning, Brauer Motion provides a new dimension to mixes.

Place Your Vocals Perfectly

Move background vocals around, to keep the center open for the lead vocal. Keep a dry sound in one place, and rotate processed sound around it. Use the sidechain to place one sound’s position by another sound.

Don’t Let Your Percussion Be Static

Add spherical motion to percussion sounds like h-hats or shakers, to prevent them from sounding static. With two panners and sync-to-tempo, the panning can be subtle, or even create polyrhythmic panning that reinforces the rhythm.

Add Excitement and Life to Pads

Just as the regular motion of ocean waves creates a feeling of peace, motion in pads can do the same. Or, add a more rhythmic quality to the panning, to impart excitement and passion to the sound.
