I've been digging into M/S technique heavily lately - but with regard to mixing since I'm not doing any live or Mic'd recordings these days.
First off - I love what m/s has to offer. Even in subtle ways.
There are a few really good plugins for managing M/S. Brainworx somewhat specializes in M/S plugins.
Their bx_Control2 is excellent and I am now putting it on my Master Bus just before my final brickwall limiter. Their new bx_XL is intense and has some totally cool features that go beyond the usual m/s en/decoding.
Voxengo has long had M/S functionality in some of their plugins, but they made it too cumbersome for most to use.
However, I never try to use M/S techniques in an overbearing way. A little dab WILL do ya, in this case.
Channel Tools is also very good, btw. I use it often.
