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.

Two linkable auto-panners, each with four different panning paths

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.
Presets by Top Producers & Engineers
The 80 presets from award-winning mix engineers Tom Elmhirst, Dave Pensado, Tony Maserati, and Michael Brauer himself are like having a graduate course in what Brauer Motion can do. Use them as is, or reverse-engineer them to understand the full capabilities of this ingenious plugin.
