PSPaudioware PSP stereoController2 v2.0.1:
PSP stereoController2 is purpose-built to manage, fine-tune, and salvage improperly recorded dual-channel stereo tracks, as well as to apply specialized processing for creative sonic applications. This versatile tool finds utility in various scenarios:
- Correcting unbalanced stereo images resulting from level disparities between channels, common in dual-microphone stereo recordings.
- Addressing subtle time alignment shifts between stereo channels.
- Adjusting the stereo image width of a track to better fit the mix, whether it's too narrow or excessively wide.
- Realigning the perceived center instrument when it appears shifted to one side.
- Emulating an instrument's placement in the sound field through a combination of level and delay panning.
- Handling scenarios where one or both channels exhibit reversed polarity or need channel swapping.
- Decoding Mid-Side (M-S) encoded tracks into traditional Left/Right stereo.
- Narrowing the stereo width of low frequencies or making them mono for optimal speaker or subwoofer playback, and for vinyl cutting reliability.
- Expanding the stereo width of high frequencies to introduce 'airy' harmonics and spaciousness.
- Precise adjustment of stereo imaging during the mastering process for optimal audio refinement.
In essence, PSP stereoController2 serves as a comprehensive solution for manipulating stereo tracks, ensuring they meet desired specifications, and offering a range of creative possibilities for sound design and enhancement.
