From music to movie soundtracks and beyond, audio engineers are upmixing all sorts of content from stereo to surround, to capture the excitement of today's full, multi-speaker environments. And when the original multi-track sessions aren't available, they have to work with stereo mixes.

So, they developed the Waves UM226/UM226 bundle using patented channel-extraction processes, to bring you exceptional surround imaging. For a wider soundscape with better separation, trust the Waves UM225/UM226 plug-in bundle.

Whether you're a sound designer who wants to use stereo effects on surround soundtracks, a keyboardist wanting to output your virtual instruments in 5.0 or 5.1, a post-production specialist wanting to enhance LFE effects, a recordist wanting to bring stereo to surround in real time - or anywhere outside and in between - the Waves UM225/UM226 will be a welcome, time-saving addition to your plug-in arsenal.
