StereoSavage - Stereo Widening Plugin - Overview With Rob Jones

Generate stereo from mono with the: VOX, DELAY and EXPAND programs. Place sounds precisely in the stereo field with the adjustment tools: WIDTH, PAN and ROTATION. Create movement and chorus-like effects with the LFO and retain a solid low end with the adjustable BASS BYPASS. 

StereoSavage includes all of these features in a single plugin for the first time, offering the flexibility to enhance your track with dramatic effects, or add the perfect subtle finishing touches. 

Benefits

• Control the placement and width of stereo sources. Separate instruments within the stereo field.
• Use the rotation effect for an incredibly natural sounding pan.
• Get lush wide vocals in seconds.
• Quick simple controls for achieving a ‘big sound’.
• Add motion or excitement with modulation.
• Retain great mono compatibility with the bass bypass feature.
• Reduce the number of vocal takes required for rich, tight, backing vocals. 
 
Effects

Generate stereo from mono…

• VOX - Get that classic wide vocal sound: huge leads or rich backing choirs. It’s also brilliant on synths, guitars and has hundreds of other uses.
• DELAY - Use a simple delay on a channel to pan or widen a sound, this is great for percussive parts.  It also has a huge benefit for club mixes where you want to pan some percussion without making either channel quieter!
• EXPAND - Add some aggressive early reflections to make sounds stereo and engaging without adding any unwanted movement. 

Stereo Adjustment

• WIDTH - Make it wider, make it wider than wide … or bring it in so other sounds draw focus. 
• PRE - Move the panning before widening for super-wide auto-panning.
• ROTATION - Super-natural panning. 

LFO 

Add modulation to key controls for movement and excitement. Use the sync to ensure all modulation happens in time with your track. Check out the audio demos to hear this in action. 

Bass Bypass

Essential for maintaining a solid low end signal by allowing the bass to be passed through the plugin unprocessed. The gain knob can be used to compensate for differences in level that mayarise as a result of the stereo processing.

Metering

Ultra precise goniometer for visual display of the stereo placement of your sound. Use the input and output peaks to help keep things balanced.

What I like about this, nothing seems to slip out of phase in the demo. Even hard panning keeps it within phase.

Bought it immediately. VERY well thought out. Thank you for offering something much needed yet very unique. I will be using this constantly during mastering jobs. Thank you!

Hope, there is no problem with antiphase...

[NiknaF]

So i guess i can use this as an Stereo Spectrum Analyser also, if so it would give me better control over the mono/stereo image in my tracks Plugin Boutique??? Do you know about some other tools i can use as a SSA that would eat up cpu? Regards :)

And here´s another review with totally artificial (and terrible/annoying) drum sounds making it impossible to draw any conclussion of how this thing actually sounds.
