Basically, the plugin takes a mono input signal and generates a stereo output signal. This plugin can also work with multi-channel input signal, but in this case all channels get processed independently of each other like they are separate mono input signals, and then all resulting stereo signals get mixed together to produce a single stereo output signal.
Control the width of any track, perfect for making super-wide sounds or creating narrow, mono-like sources. Make your pianos, synths, and cymbals fill up your stereo image, or tighten up your low end by narrowing bass and kick drums!
The package provides a single channel (mono or stereo) as well as a dual channel version with mid/side capabilities for independent control of the left and right or mid and side channels. It can be very useful for stereo widening/narrowing your stereo tracks.Note: Additional information about stereo widening with mid/side processing can be found in our M/S processing paper.
Stereo Viewer is free software that allows to view movies and stereo movies in different formats, including series of images. It supports a rich set of stereo viewing technology, from red-blue glasses to NVIDIA 3D Vision and modern 3D TV technology.
Stereo Viewer can be used to view, analyze and compare stereo videos obtained on Octonus Digital Microscope and by means of other Octonus products.
OrilRiver is the best freeware reverb VST plugin you can download right now. It is a versatile, feature-packed, and great-sounding stereo reverb effect that is on par with some of the best commercial reverbs on the market. Capable of delivering beautiful hall reverbs and simulating the reverberation of smaller rooms, it is our go-to reverb effect in most mixing scenarios.
OldSkoolVerb is our favorite all-around reverb plugin. It delivers all the basic reverb types while sprinkling a bit of vintage digital reverb flavor on top. The plugin includes five different delay modes (room, hall, plate, and more), a 3-band equalizer, pre-delay, time, stereo width, and damping controls.
This true-analog circuit utilizes a stereo signal into two channels: a sum (L+R) for sounds in the center (Mid) and a difference signal (L-R) for sounds on the left and right (Side), that allows you to narrow or widen the stereo image using the WIDTH control.
It allows you to inject interesting depth effects into your mix. It exposes a brand-new SHUFFLE control for changing the frequency cut-off in the SPACE circuit, and it allows you to add weight and presence or carve space in the stereo field.
Some applications, such as Gigastudio already provide a dedicated Width control (in addition to a normal Pan control) for each mixer channel, that simultaneously moves both left and right signals inwards to narrow the stereo image. However, if your application of choice doesn't have these controls, there are several simple freeware plug-ins that do the job nicely without altering the audio in any other way.
Narrowing the stereo image of sounds like keyboard pads, using plug-ins such as GPan, can significantly reduce clutter in your mixes.One of the simplest is GSonic's GPan (www.gsonic.com/gse/gse.html), a Direct X plug-in that provides separate gain and pan controls for each stereo channel (see screen, bottom left). Destroy FX's Monomaker (www.smartelectronix.com/destroyfx) has more graphic finesse, with its two stretchy globules indicating the mono merge effect (see main header pic, left), plus a separate pan control It's in VST format, so you just drop it into your VST plug-ins folder rather than installing it.
More sophisticated still is Stereo Tools (www.kellyindustries.com), a tiny VST plug-in from Kelly Industries, with separate volume, pan, phase invert and mute controls for each channel, plus buttons for mono, channel swap, gang pan, gang volume, and Mid & Side. The latter is useful if you have M&S recordings that need converting to stereo, or to use before or after another plug-in effect. You can automate GPan inside applications like Sonar that support Direct X v8, for silent real-time adjustments, but the two VST plug-ins don't have ramp or zero-detection functions and therefore may generate a little noise when their controls are moved in real time inside VST-compatible hosts.
Another more specific tool for stereo narrowing is the freeware Otium FX Basslane (www.otiumfx.com) that I mentioned in PC Notes October 2006, which collapses the stereo width below a user-defined frequency, to keep bass in mono for vinyl pressing, and to retain low-end punch.
Of course, you may not need a separate narrowing plug-in at all, since many stereo widening plug-ins also let you reduce width below 100 percent, as well as expanding it. Examples include Steinberg's Stereo Expander, PSP's Stereo Controller, and Waves' S1 Stereo Imager, all of which bring us neatly to...
From ultra-simple to highly sophisticated, stereo widening plug-ins like PSP's Stereo Controller can be used both to enhance 'space', for special effects, and during mastering, to correct recording errors.Widening is mostly achieved by manipulating the Mid and Side signals. The Mid signal is common to both stereo channels and therefore appears in the centre of the stereo image, while the Side signal is the difference between the two stereo channels. By inverting the phase of each channel and adding a small amount of this phase-inverted signal to the opposite channel, you can add spaciousness to a mix.
Mid/Side widening plug-ins generally retain a high level of mono compatibility, which is important, because you don't want your latest hit to sound odd when broadcast to the huge number of mono radios still out there. One simple example is Steinberg's Stereo Expander, bundled with both Cubase and Wavelab, which has a single horizontal Width slider. At the central position, your stereo image is unaltered; moving it to the left narrows the stereo width right down to mono if required, while moving it to the right increases the Side (difference) signal, making the image sound a lot more spacious. Another example is PSP's Stereo Controller plug-in (above), part of the PSP Stereo Pack (www.pspaudioware.com/ plugins/stereopack.html) along with the Pseudo Stereo and Stereo Enhancer plug-ins mentioned later, plus the handy Stereo Analyser goniometer display of level, phase, and mid/side components.
Stereo Controller fulfils all the conditions mentioned earlier for correcting subtle errors, offering width adjustment from zero percent (mono) through to 400 percent (the difference signal is amplified by 12dB), channel balance control, and pan controls for both side and mid signals, so you can alter the two sides of the stereo image without altering the central image, or centralise a stereo image without altering the mix level balance. Although initially confusing (especially since the side and mid pan controls are labelled 'Stabil' and 'Center' respectively), I've found the Stereo Controller very useful over the years for tweaks during mastering.
Waves' S1 Stereo Imager (www.waves.com) provides a similar set of controls with less confusing labels, such as Asymmetry and Rotation, along with an associated display that provides visual feedback as controls vary the stereo image, showing the output positions of central, left and right sounds and their new levels.
S1 also has a very useful Shuffle control that lets you further increase stereo width at lower frequencies (typically below 600Hz, as set by the associated Frequency control). This compensates for the fact that the ear is less sensitive to stereo bass effects, so you can either use Shuffle to sharpen stereo imaging in an existing mix, while leaving its width unaltered, or further widen the bass end, for a feeling of increased spaciousness at the expense of less precise imaging. Shuffling only affects non-central sounds, so you can use it to widen the bass end of other instruments in the mix without disturbing the level or imaging of centrally panned kick drum and bass guitars (this should keep the 'mono bass is tighter' camp happy).
S1, which is my favourite stereo imaging tool for mastering purposes, can also be switched to M& S (Mid & Side) mode and used in a plug-in chain with other treatments such as EQ, to provide frequency-dependent control over stereo width, or to equalise central or side sounds independently..
Turning a mono track into a stereo one is possible with plug-ins such as these, which either use comb filtering or add delayed versions of the original and pan them left and right. Another common technique is to use comb filtering, splitting the original signal into a set of frequency bands, some of which are then panned left and some panned right. A classic example is PSP's Pseudo Stereo, which offers a continuously variable frequency of 20Hz to 1kHz for the lowest comb (lower values further widen the stereo image, until you hear the effect as two distinctly separate sounds), plus a Treble Emphasis control to compensate for low-end anomalies, at the expense of mono compatibility. Their Stereo Enhancer uses similar comb-filtering techniques, but optimised for stereo signals, and I find both extremely effective.
Izotope's Ozone mastering suite (www.izotope.com) has a section devoted to multi-band stereo Imaging, complete with a Vectorscope (goniometer) display and phase meter. You can enable between one and four frequency bands, each with its own controls, to alter apparent stereo width. With a single band, you achieve standard narrowing and widening effects, but with more than one band you can create pleasing frequency-dependent width effects. For instance, you could specifically widen frequencies above a few kilohertz to add some mix 'space' without muddying the mid-range and bottom end, or make the low-end narrower. Such multi-band imaging can also be very useful in restoration work, when you want to give some separation to different instruments from an old mono recording. (See screenshot, bottom.)
