Stereoizer: The missing link between mono and stereo

Over the years, many sound designers and mix engineers have come to Sweetwater looking for an easy way to sit mono tracks in a stereo mix. NUGEN Audio's Stereoizer plug-in is the perfect tool for the job. This incredibly sophisticated stereo-field manipulation plug-in uses advanced psychoacoustic processing to spread out mono sounds into the stereo mix, without adding reverb or creating phase problems. It's also a great tool for widening your stereo tracks, defining your center mix, and all sorts of other spatial manipulation. Best of all, NUGEN Audio's Stereoizer is so easy to use, so you'll be up and running in no time.

Monofilter: Clear up your bass and your stereo image

Define your bass with the NUGEN Audio Monofilter plug-in processor. One of the great mixing tips Sweetwater's experienced Sales Engineers like to pass on is how summing low frequencies to mono can tighten up your mix and actually make your stereo image clearer. That's because low frequencies aren't perceived as being directional, so leaving them in your stereo field doesn't really do you any good. The Monofilter plug-in is an extremely simple processor that lets you select a low-frequency cutoff point and gently sum everything below that point to mono. The result is transformative! Whether you're producing music for the club scene, creating film scores, or 2.1 video game sound designs, NUGEN Monofilter will help you create stronger mixes every time.

Stereoplacer: Total stereo control

Take total control of your stereo field with NUGEN Audio's Stereoplacer plug-in. This unique utility plug-in offers a solution many of us experienced mix engineers and sound designers at Sweetwater have been looking for for years. Essentially, the Stereoplacer operates like a parametric EQ, except that instead of controlling gain, you control where each band sits in the stereo field. This allows you to make dramatic changes in the balance of your material, without affecting all frequencies at once. What's more, it allows you to take mono tracks or ambient sound beds and position-specific frequency ranges in a stereo field. Talk about an awesome sound design tool! And if you're concerned about phase issues and mono compatibility, don't be. As long as you don't go completely insane with the panning, you'll never know Stereoplacer was involved.
