M-S Decoder???

[Rambunkcious]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any plug ins that striped the center from a stereo file, I'm trying to strip the vocals out of a track, and be able to have the center image, and the left and right, and have both to use. I guess it would be an M-S Decoder? not sure if Im right though.

Ive used the, invert/nudge technique but that doesnt always work, If I had the instrumental of the same track I suppose it would cancel any instrumental artifacts left in the above mentioned phasing technique.

So would the M -S decoder be useful for this job? do they even make decoder or is it just encoders?

I found this hardware piece (http://www.dangerousmusic.com/s&m.html) and I guess it would do the trick, but was wondering if it came in a software version?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure this is going to do what you want to do though in that application. I doubt you'll get anything really usable but its worth a shot.
