Focus is a bundle featuring three stereo manipulation plug-ins. With these award-winning tools you can naturally widen or narrow the stereo image
focus and define low frequencies
or move specific frequencies across the stereo field. All three plug-ins are highly mono-compatible
maintaining the original character of the source audio without introducing unwanted phase
reverb or delay artefacts.
Powerful stereo widening
Stereoizer is a stereo width plug-in with a clear difference - your mix will still sound great in mono. Add natural sounding width and depth to any recording
mono or stereo
leaving the character of the source intact. Or go super wide - the choice is yours. Achieve a more coherent sound with polish and spatial balance
without adding artificial reverb
chorusing or delay. Total mono compatibility and no unwanted artefacts.
Essential bass management
Wide low frequencies can result in weak
muddy
unfocused bass. Monofilter is a plug-in which allows you to grab hold of your bass and root it solidly within a mix
by narrowing the low frequencies from stereo into mono. Now you can sharpen
define
align and anchor your bass for the tightest mix. This also improves performance on systems with separate low-frequency handling - club PAs
live rigs
and 2.1 gaming systems
for example.
21st century pan control
Stereoplacer is a frequency-specific panning plug-in which takes you beyond traditional left/right panning. Zone in on specific frequencies and tweak
fix or re-align them in the stereo panorama without affecting other regions. Reposition complex audio
reconstruct a mono image
or correct a poor recording
all with total mono compatibility. Fine-tune your stereo image with parametric balancing controls. Just choose the position you want and let Stereoplacer take care of the rest.
For music production
Use Stereoizer to add finesse by introducing natural-sounding width
or zone in and enhance specific frequencies
without upsetting the inherent balance of the sound. Try Monofilter on synth lines where stereo effects are causing low-end smear
or place it on your reverb effects return to tighten up the low frequencies whilst retaining a full sense of space. Fix poor mic placement with Stereoplacer
or experiment with panning on sampled audio where access to the original recording is not possible.
For post and broadcast
Audio post has its own unique challenges
especially as it is often difficult to go back to the source and record a better take. Stereoizer is a gift for subtle enhancement of ambience sounds
clearing space for dialog in the centre
or even injecting stereo liveliness into formerly mono recordings. Try Monofilter on TV
radio and internet productions for better low frequency power distribution to ensure a clear low end. Use Stereoplacer to fix and re-align specific elements in a recording
or automate stereo positioning to follow on-screen action.
