Useful.
I use this plugin for drum overheads, guitar bus and master bus. I love it. Very simple and effective. Could be used to enhance any stereo source.
Very useful tool!
This is not a tool most people would need often, but when you do need it, there really isn't anything else I have seen quite like it. It turns the phantom center of a two-track stereo recording into its own track in a way, which during the mastering process, or a restoration, is awesome if you need to alter the balance between the center and the far left and right of your stereo track. It isn't a magic bullet that can make it all better, but it definitely offers some control that you normally wouldn't have. This is a lot like other corrective-type software though...you can't dig too deep before artifacts show up and things start sounding weird, so tread lightly and find the sweet spot for your application.
