Stereo narrowing plug-in...?

Hi there, guys and gals,
I posted a song of mine here.
Now, a mix note was to bring the brass a bit in, panning wise.
The tracks I would have to bring more to the middle are stereo tracks coming out of Superior drummer.

Does anybody know a plug in that works on sterero tracks and brings in the tracks a little to the center?
All I found while searching were M/S Stereo wideners which are totally not helping...
Any ideas?
I'm kinda hesitant to rip the session apart for a little nudge on panning


All the best,
the keks

What DAW are you using?

Also, some widening plugins do narrowing too. IIRC S1 does this too.

I think some of the BX stereo plugins have a width knob that can go to lus or minus.

They are all M/S it seems, but M/S does not get moar Hihatz into the other earbud.
On speakers it seems fine to me, but on cans the drums sound disconnected...
:uh:

Well if you don’t want to do it with MS then you don’t need a plug in. Just pan the sides in a bit.

Ever tried iZotope Ozone Imager?

It seems to be free now, so maybe worth a try.

If you right-click the track's pan pot and choose stereo pan, you will get a width knob that you can pull down to narrow the stereo field.

Explore JS plugins! I believe there's one called Stereo Enhancement which can do width control.
Later today I will look for relevant JS plugins.

But REAPER already has width control right there on the track panel!

Boz even made a plugin to replicate it because he got fed up of other DAW's not having the same!

Oh, yeah, I forgot.
Right click on pan knob and choose stereo pan.
