What NUGEN Stereoizer Is For
Stereoizer is a stereo widening plug-in designed to add width, depth, and clarity to your mixes without altering the original tone. Ideal for music production, mixing, sound design, and post-production, it allows you to open mono tracks, widen overly narrow stereo images, create a clean "center" for vocals while preserving spectral balance and mono compatibility.
Main Features
Natural or Creative Widening
Confidently move from subtle panning extension to very wide effects. The architecture adds no reverb or modulation, avoiding doubling, chorus, and phase cancellations. The mono toggle button enables immediate checking on mono playback systems.
Complementary Psychoacoustic Algorithms
The IID (interaural intensity difference) and ITD (interaural time difference) modules add presence and movement, while Linear Width subtly widens while preserving the mix's central space. Each channel can be precisely processed, including targeted frequency bands.
Stereo Analysis Across the Entire Spectrum
The visual feedback displays deviation from center from 20 Hz to 22 kHz, guiding informed adjustments without the need for an external analyzer. Ideal for refining ambience in post-production, restoring old recordings, or optimizing clarity in dense mixes.
