CenterOne 3 is Leapwing's phantom-center processor. It separates the center of a stereo signal from the left and right information that belongs only to the sides, then lets you level those three components in Low, Mid, and High. Two parametric EQs can aim at the center or at the sides. A sidechain compressor, keyed internally or from another track, can move only the bands and channels you enable.
The US store price is $174, down from $249, through 22 October 2026. A fully functional 30-day trial is on the Leapwing page. Best Service lists €174.30 and $174.30 excluding VAT. CenterOne 2 owners can upgrade there for €30 / $30 excluding VAT. Plugin Boutique carries the same $174 intro.
It needs a stereo input. A mono vocal that needs width is a job for MicroShift. A three-band widener with a mono fold-down meter is Nolvra IMAGER. CenterOne is the tool when the stereo image already exists and the middle is the problem. The full control list is in the CenterOne 3 first look.
