StereoChannel is a stereo tool and VU meter with basic console channel controls. Insert StereoChannel on your stereo tracks to monitor the left, right, middle and side levels as well as phase correlation. This tool also gives you the ability to adjust the L/R and M/S balance. It is designed only to encourage the use of proper gain staging. Great vocals start with solid vocal recordings. Post processing will further enhance your vocals in the mixing stage. In this video, I want to show you my vo.

Nils‘ K1v is a rompler that emulates a Kawai K1, a famous japanese classic from 1988.

Change Log

v1.24 (2021.07.28)

• [Imp] The settings menu now allows you to toggle between Stereo output and 8-Channel output. This should resolve issues that some users experienced after the latest Ableton update
• [Fix] VST3 version of plugin was not detected/rejected on Mac OS
• [Fix] Be more tolerant when receiving patches via SysEx (MidiQuest might generate invalid SysEx packets that we can work around and still load)
• [Fix] Reduce required amount of dependencies for Linux variants

v1.23 (2021.03.29)

• [Imp] Nils‘ K1v is now available as a VST3 plugin. The VST3 version supports multi-channel output.
• [Imp] Nils‘ K1v now comes with native support for Apples new ARM-based M1 SoC
• [Fix] Dropped Midi events in rare cases were still an issue
• [Fix] Fixed automation was not possible for some parameters because of parameter label conflict (reported for Max/MSP)

v1.19 (2021.01.28)

• [Fix] Dropped midi events caused notes to be hanging or not played at all in some hosts
• [Fix] Neither SysEx send nor receive worked in Mac AU version
• [Fix] UI did not update if single parameter was changed via MIDI SysEx
• [Fix] Pitch Bend changes were processed even if turned off in global settings

v1.18 (2020.10.28)

• [Fix] Some Multis caused a crash when being loaded because the sysex parameter „Output“ of a multi section has an invalid value. These invalid values are part of the K1 factory banks and confuse the K1 hardware, too and result in the output being „Left+Right“. K1v now sets them to L+R, too.

v1.14 (2020.10.16)

• [Fix] Wrong number of presets (832 instead of 968) were reported to plugin hosts

• [Fix] Redraw issue caused multiple Source buttons to stay in highlighted state
• [Fix] Source parameters were not updated when switching AM mode to/from REV

v1.08

• [Accuracy] PCM waveforms cannot play a lower frequency than 25.6Hz and are pitched up one octave when a note that is too low is triggered.
• [Accuracy] Fix Single Cycle Waves with notes below C-2 were clamped and played as C-2 although hardware can go down to C-4 if keytrack is off
• [Note] The two change above fix some Singles being incorrect when compared to the hardware, for example iA-8 GongOfKngs

v1.01

• Initial release

Last Updated on December 15, 2020.

When it comes to producinghigh-quality music, knowing how to deal with the stereo image of your song isessential.

I found a couple stereo imaging/expanderplugins which are awesome, and some of them are even free!

Let’s get started…

Best Commercial Stereo Imaging plugins

Here are four stereo enhancerplugins which I think are awesome, plus they are very affordable as well.

S1 Stereo Imager by Waves ($39.99)

Waves is probably the best-known company when it comes tohigh-quality plugins.

One of their more useful -and yet overlooked- plugins is theS1 Stereo Imager which is excellent for widening or narrowing the stereo image ofyour mixes, as well as correcting or enhancing stereo, or even a mid-sideimage.

Features

• Enhances stereo spatial effect.
• Remixing and rebalancing existing stereo mixesfor remastering.
• Retains mono compatibility.
• Avoids phasiness effects.
• No alterations of tonal quality; no unwantedadded effects.
• Simply brings out what is already there in thestereo mix.

You can find out more about the S1 Stereo Imager here.

Pro Q by FabFilter ($160)

Despite being an EQ plugin, thePRO Q also has a stereo imaging function which you can access by changing thechannel mode to mid-side.

This will allow you to EQ in a stereo fashion; If you putthe PRO Q on your output you can then, and in most cases should, cut the lowend on the side channel.

This will give you an increased perception of the low-end inthe mid channel, which is where the bass, and other instruments that live inthat low-end, should be.

It’s also very useful for creating room for other elementsof the mix that are in the middle and need to stand out more.

Simply cut the frequencies of that element on the side channelto make it pop out more in the middle.

This is seriously one of the best ways to give your mixes asense of space and making room for the important elements.

You can find out more about Pro Q here.

Doubler by Waves ($29)

Doubler is a simple yet powerful double-tracking plugin that allows you to add additional voicing to any track.

Additionally, you can control the placement of said tracksin a 90-degree stereo field.

This means that you can have individual control over thestereo placement, modulation, tuning, and gain of each single track, giving youloads of possibilities over the sound of them.

It can even work as a tremolo or chorus effect, depending onhow much or how little modulation and tuning you apply.

Features

• Double-tracking / chorus plugin
• Add shimmer and presence
• Create the ‘80s harmonizer and pitch detuneeffects
• Double vocal parts automatically
• Add flam-like effects to drums

Find out more about Doubler here.

Panpot by Goodhertz ($49)

This plugin was founded on the principles of how humansperceive different sound sources; that is, to identify the size, location, anddistance of a sound in space.

They manage to mimic these conditions by introducing threenew types of panning;

Nls Channel Stereo Vst Torrent

Delay, Spectral, and Phase.

Now, we all know how traditional panning works; we turn theknob left or right and it pans the source to either of the sides.

Panpot allows us to do much more “realistic” panning, if wewant to, or even create something completely “unrealistic”.

If you truly want to be able to take your panning skills toa new level, then Panpot is an absolute must.

Find out more about Panpot here.

Free Stereo Imaging Plugins

Despite being free, all of these plugins are excellent, andI mean excellent!

Make sure to check them out!

Ozone Imager 2 by iZotope

Nls Channel Stereo Vst Free

Like all other iZotope plugins, the Ozone Imager is a veryvisual plugin since it features a vectorscope which meters your stereo widthand allows you to literally see if the left and right channels are lining upproperly.

It also comes with the “Steorize” function which allows youto turn mono into stereo, with no need for reverb or doubling.

It can be used as a subtle enhancement or for creating afull blown-out phasing effect.

Lastly, you can control how wide or narrow every element ofthe mix is; Do you want to spread out a narrow-sounding synth? Ozone Imager cando that.

You can download it here.

Wider by Polyverse Music (Free)

This is a simple free plugin that widens your stereo signal…

The added benefit of Wider is that it does this withoutcausing phase issues when you listen to the mix in mono because any widenedsignal will always remain in phase.

It’s extremely easy to use because you can only control oneparameter; the width.

And that’s it!

It creates a much wider stereo feel and it doesn’t mess withthe phase at all!

Excellent plugin that I absolutely recommend!

You can download it here.

A1Stereo Control by Alex Hilton (Free)

Often times you’d want to give your mixes a wider andexpansive sound…

This is where A1Stereo Control comes in.

One issue does normally arise when doing this using otherplugins which is “widening the bass end”, since the bass should always be inthe center.

However, this plugin comes with the “Safe Bass” algorithmwhich centers everything below a user-configurable value.

This gives your tracks the solidity and definition you wantwhile preserving maximum transparency and sharpness.

Nls Channel Stereo Vst Plugin

Simply turn on “Safe Bass” and adjust the frequency ifneeded and that’s it… It’s really that simple.

You can download it here.

Conclusion

Nls Channel Stereo Vstar

This is one of those cases where the premium plugins aren’t necessarilythat much better than the free ones.

I think most people will be more than happy with any of thefree stereo wideners I listed.

The only premium plugin I would absolutely recommend overall the others is Panpot.

I hope this information was useful.

Have a wonderful day!
