The Most Usable Stereo Imaging Plug-in Ever Made
Fresh from Grammy-winning producer DJ Swivel (Beyoncé, Rihanna, BTS) is Spread, a supremely functional stereo imaging plug-in Swivel’s vision for Spread was to build one ruthlessly efficient plug-in that gives producers a way to maximize left and right speaker use in their tracks. Within Spread, core image manipulation is mapped to one simple global knob that controls three user-defined multiband frequencies, which enable fast, potent mixing tweaks at the touch of a button. Here at Sweetwater, our studio enthusiasts love how Spread’s global knob makes accurate track widening so quick and easy while still leaving tons of room for customizing your mixes.

Unlock DJ Swivel’s stereo spreading secrets
Spread attains the widest and most accurate stereo image possible. It's the perfect tool for both mix and mastering work, thanks to its three-band processing with a range of 20Hz to 20kHz. As a convertor, Spread can turn stereo tracks to mono tracks or vice versa, and it includes a powerful onboard side filter for tackling phase issues and refining low-end stereo mud that preserves essential mono bass. Plus, Spread's Tilt feature is extremely useful for balancing wonky volume differences on stereo tracks, which is a common production hurdle for people who work with vintage samples.
