Description
Wider is a mono-to-stereo converter and stereo image widener plug-in (AUv3) by Infected Mushroom and Polyverse. It is mono compatible and does not color the sound.
Wider -- derived from the massively popular stereo feature of its sibling Manipulator -- expands the stereo image of a mono signal to an awe-inspiring amount of width.
However, Wider is a unique stereo plugin in the sense that it is completely “mono-compatible," meaning that any signal that has been extended will always remain in phase with itself, even if summed to mono.
Many stereo effects currently in use have the nasty habit of knocking signals out of phase which can quickly make a track sound muddy and unbalanced, or make sounds seem flat and lacking dynamics if one isn’t mindful of the effect. Thanks to Wider’s one-of-a-kind all-pass and comb filtering algorithm, a natural-sounding stereo image is created from a mono channel without compromising the phase between the sides. Because Wider cancels itself out when summed to mono, the original signal is left intact.
Wider can be used to increase the stereo image of any mono signal up to 200% of full stereo for an extra wide, exaggerated effect.
Ratings and Reviews
Works Perfectly for Free
I needed to widen the drums to give a more intimate, live feel to a track with guitar, bass and drums on GarageBand. This worked perfectly and is free. Couldn’t ask for more. With some Eventide reverbs, I’m finding I enjoy recording with the iPad more than with Logic on a Mac these days. Also tried Cubasis but it had all sorts of noise, bugs and latency, so I’d recommend just using GarageBand with a few nice plugins like this one if iOS recording is your cup of tea.
Top stuff!
Put this after Pure Acid (and what an app that is!) and it really widened the sound and helped bring the drums out more. Fantastic that it’s free... nice one!
Nice
Used it to widen a non mono main mix a little, really makes a difference, even at a lower setting
