Klevgrand Haaze v2.1.1 WiN
VST Effects / VST Plugins / Audio Soft
8-03-2023
Bring any mono signal to life with this stereo enhancer. The upgraded Haaze v2 from Klevgrand is an elegant solution for controlling stereo width and spatially positioning a sound in a stereo mix. Regular L-R panning is a weak tool that doesn't resemble real-world acoustics, which becomes clear when trying to place a mono sound naturally in a stereo mix (especially on headphones). The result still feels very "mono". Haaze is an audio plugin that makes the positioning feel more natural, understandable and pleasant for the ears. It splits the audio signal into 16 frequency bands. On each band, you can delay the left or right signal (which will make the listener believe the sound arrives from the side that's reaching the ear first), pan it to the left or right, or adjust the overall width on that band (for example, make the lower frequencies more focused in the middle than the higher). Haaze can also diffuse a mono signal and make it wider.
If this sounds complicated, Haaze comes with many presets that will help you to get started. It sounds good both in headphones and loudspeakers, and it has great mono compatibility.

SideMinder 2 is the 2nd generation mono-band dynamic stereo width maximizer that can increase the stereo width of a track, bus and/or master mix while limiting over-widening that can produce signal loss when mixed or played in mono.
SideMinder 2 uses latency-compensated FIR correlation detectors that "listen to" the incoming stereo signal and precisely and rapidly turn down the width when it detects the signal is going into negative correlation. Additional stages of filtering control the recovery speed of the width limiting action which is adjustable via the Release control.

SideMinder ZL2 the 2nd generation of our 3-band, Zero Latency Dynamic Stereo Width Maximizer with a gain core optimized for live use and zero latency monitoring applications. As with all SideMinder plugins, SideMinder ZL2 provides automatic stereo width limiting that can be used to increase (or decrease) the width of stereo mixes while remaining MONO COMPATIBLE. SideMinder ZL2 controls the stereo width dynamically to keep the signal wide at all times while preventing "overwide" negative correlation that can cause loss of content when mixed to mono. SideMinder ZL2 is not a compressor and will not alter the dynamics of the mix, only the stereo width.
SideMinder ZL2 provides up to 3 bands of independent stereo width enhancement and dynamic stereo width limiting with features including:
