What it does
WIDE is a stereo widener and mono-to-stereo upmixer that uses Zynaptiq's spectral processing instead of the usual mid/side or modulation tricks, and keeps mono compatibility.
- Algorithms: four in total: three stereo-to-stereo and one mono-to-stereo.
- Approach: it aims to add width without the phasey artifacts of delay- and modulation-based wideners.
Version 1.0.0.
When to use it
Use it on mono sources you want to spread across the stereo field, or on stereo mixes and stems that need more width while still folding down cleanly to mono. It suits synths, pads, guitars and full mixes.
