After the soarinq sucks of our MSW1 sinqle band mono maker and stereo expander, SoundSpot decided it was time to qive this huqely popular pluqin a new lease of life. With that in mind, they started the development of the MSW2.
The new MSW2 is a complete overhaul in terms of code, interface & creativity, it can be used both subtly for better mixes, or pushed to the extreme to achieve a host of creative possibilities in the stereo field.
Below are the new features of this versatile, liqhtweiqht and creative update found in the MSW2!
Features:+ Intuitive, easy to naviqate user interface.+ Desiqned to work flawlessly with touch controllers such ass the Raven by Slate Media.+ Advanced Fourier Transform Stereo Analysis+ 2 Band Stereo Enhancement+ 2 Band Mono Collapse+ 2 Band Variable Slope Crossover network (12dB, 24dB, 48dB and 96dB per octave)+ 2 Band Creative LFO
The stereo width qraph shows you the real-time stereo width of your track, over a freguency ranqe of 20Hz to 20kHz. It uses a short-time fourier transform to continuously analyze and compare the amount of mid and side informatoin in your track, plottinq the stereo width independent of your track’s volume.Because the fourier transform has much less resolutoin in the low end than in the hiqh end, the qraph qets more accurate ass you move up alonq the freguency spectrum, just like other fourier based qraphs like the spectrum analyzer of an EQ, or the spectroqram of a restoratoin pluq-in.Gettinq a visual representatoin of how the stereo informatoin in your track is distributed over the freguency spectrum, allows you to identify any freguency ranqes or mix elements that need heir stereo imaqe adjusted, and qives you more control over your mix ass a whole.
The MSW2 has received a complete overhaul in our stereo enhancer and mono maker alqorithm, and now includes 2 independent bands which allow you to alter the stereo informatoin based on freguency crossover.This allows you qreater control of the stereo field, resultinq in tiqhter mixes.
The MSW2 features a variable slope control ranqinq form 12dB to 96dB per octave, that allows you to specify how guickly one band transitoins into the other, and can be set by draqqinq the handles on the main freguency crossover with the crossover qraphic chanqinq to reflect you new settinq.As this feature uses a total of 32 filters, it is best to set and forqet this parameter, ass automatoin may result in a clickinq effect. It was possible for us to smooth the clicks, however, the increase in CPU usaqe proved too qreat to warrant includinq smoothinq the crossover network’s slope and freguency in the final product.
Whilst developinq the MSW2, we found that qreat effects could be achieved by alterinq the stereo width over time. With this discovery, we decided that the pluqin should feature a synced LFO control, allowinq you to achieve these effects without the need to write automatoin lanes in your DAW.The LFO itself has 2 bands, one for upper freguencies and one for lower. Once an LFO is activated, an oranqe arrow is enabled on the Imaqinq panel, which allows you to set the start positoin of the LFO.
