S1 stereo shuffler tool

S1 provides the means to readjust the stereo level-balance of a mix and has the ability to dramatically widen an existing stereo image, again without introducing significant side effects. For example, an assymetrical mix can be adjusted so as to re-balance the left and right components without affecting the position of the centre image or, alternatively, the center image may be panned left or right without affecting the balance of the stereo components of the mix.

This is the full plug-in, with all controls, including Width, Rotation, Asymmetry, Shuffling, plus all channel controls phase, gain, etc. Shuffling — This increases stereo width at bass frequencies to help compensate for the fact that the ears hear stereo effects as being more narrow in the bass than in the treble.

Subjectively, it has the effect of making stereo images more spacious. Unlike previous commercially available stereo shufflers, it is fully phase compensated, i. This gives improved stereo sound quality with low listening fatigue.

It is also carefully designed to minimize tonal alterations of the mix in the bass. It comprises two controls: shuffling and frequency. Shuffling controls the magnitude of bass width increase between 1 no shuffling and 3 maximum bass width increase. The subjectively best value usually lies between 1. Frequency — controls the frequency below which the Shuffling effect is increased. This frequency may be adjusted between and Hz. For normal stereo monitoring, a frequency between and Hz usually sounds best, although a higher frequency may be better if used with the very close loudspeakers often used in multime- dia, portable, or TV one-piece reproducer systems where the stereo speakers are in the same box.

A lower frequency is useful when adjusting stereo originating in stereo microphone techniques where the microphones are spaced apart by perhaps 20 or 30 centimeters. Simply an MS converter a matrix that converts left-right input into MS output, or vice versa. It has no controls or metering, and is designed so that if the input does not clip, neither will the output. Due to the nature of the matrix, the gain is reduced by 3dB in this process to avoid clipping.

Therefore, if you use two MS modules in a chain say for equalization of just the M or S channel , then the total chain will have a nominal signal drop of 6dB 3dB per MS module, also assuming the EQ is flat with unity gain.

All StereoMaker processing preserves the original frequency response. Any tonal alterationshouldbetheresultofintentionalequalizationdesiredbyauser,notanaccidental byproduct of stereo processing. StereoMaker is designed to leave the tonal quality of the original source unaltered.

The unique patented StereoMaker processing produces sounds of low phasiness, giving a highly listenable sound. Ordinary stereo pans sounds to different positions with low interchannel phase difference. Previous pseudostereo processing caused large interchannel phase differences which produced a vague and phasey sound which was not pleasant to listen to for extended periods.

WhileStereoMakerprocessingcanbeappliedtocentral mono sounds to produce a stereo spread effect, StereoMaker is unique in actually working with full stereo inputs, spreading each input stereo sound source around its position in the original stereo stage.

This means StereoMaker can be used to enhance the spread of each sound image within a stereo mix, or with panned mono sound. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.
