Spread is a one single knob stereo width plug-in FX that is very simple and easy to use. It works with powerful stereo imaging with features that are centred around an intuitive design that quickly enables you to get the sound you want without the complexity of other plug-ins in the market. The interface itself is beautiful, it works and looks very nice and with the simplicity of a one-knob design, you will get quick and effective results. With its multi-band processing, you can change the stereo image of 3 independent frequency bands.
The plug-in offers a side filter that will help you to clean up phase problems and overall muddiness from the low-end sound. The feature uses mid-side processing to remove the low signal side and leaving untouchable mono bases paired to an audition function. Another great function is Tilt, helping you to increase or decrease the volume from the left or right side giving you the ability to balance out the stereo image without compromising it.
Spread is a happy spending stereo imager that will give you the widest and if possible the most accurate stereo imaging possible. It also features frequency band offsets, frequency band mute and solo and a three-band crossover. A side roll with an M/S filter is paired with Audition and stereo balancing. On the downside, note that this plug-in will not support VST2 or earlier formats, but it will work perfectly with AAX, VST3 and AU plug-in formats. For Mac useters an OS X 10.22 operating system or later is required or a Windows computer with Windows 7 or later, both in 64-bit formats. The supported hosts for Spread are, Pro Tools, Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, Reaper, Studio One and Nuendo.
