NUGEN Audio Stereoizer Elements

Simplified version of Stereoizer plug-in

• Streamlined stereo widening plugin
• Add natural-sounding width and depth to any recording
• Highly mono compatible
• Detailed stereo extension
• Achieve maximum flexibility with unique algorithmic processing

The Nugen Audio Stereoizer is a streamlined stereo widening plug-in that adds natural sounding width and depth to any recording, mono or stereo. Seteroizer Elements is a simplified version of Nugen's Streoizer plug-in, and offers access to all three of its stereo width algorithms; IID, ITD and Linear Width through a single straight forward and intuitive control. Achieve coherence and polish in your sound with spatial balance and without adding artificial reverb, chorusing or delay. Furthermore, Stereoizer offers total mono compatibility and no unwanted artefacts.

To achieve maximum flexibility, Stereoizer's algorithms adapt to the characteristics of your audio based on the human ear's perception of width. Featuring Interaural Intensity Difference (IID), Interaural Time Difference (ITD), and Linear Width algorithms working independently of each other to achieve the powerful flexibility that is central to Stereoizer. Take control of the IID and ITD for lively adjustments, or subtly command the Linear Width to leave the 'centre space' of your mix untouched.

Enjoy vivid mono compatibility. Stereoizer does not add artificial reverb, so there are no disruptive artefacts like doubling, chorusing, or phase cancellation affecting your mono signal. Many clubs and PA sound systems are still set up for mono playback, as well as the majority of portable radios, smartphones and many TV sets. The mono capability of Stereoizer really shines through, so you can have peace of mind producing for any format.
