Artificial stereo

Anything you record is initially monophonic, because at the beginning there's always just one microphone. And if the origin is a synthesizer, it may not still be wide enough. So the challenge is to transform such audio into stereo. You need to make each channel sound the same, yet different. There are many ways using modulation, reverbs and pitch shifters, but doing that without changing the character of the original signal is much harder. But the following plugins do just that!

MStereoGenerator is a very natural-sounding stereo enhancer specifically designed for acoustic instruments.
MStereoSpread exploits psychoacoustics and is probably the most powerful artificial stereo generator available, useful on just about any audio material including complete mixes. It is designed with modern tight mixes in mind.
