Professional Stereo Enhancer Plugin for Mixing and Mastering

Crave Stereo Enhancer generates synthetic stereo content to widen both mono and stereo sources while maintaining a natural sound and 100% mono compatibility.

Precise Stereo Widening

  • Sideband-only processing - works exclusively on the side channel, ensuring the original mono signal remains unchanged.
  • Delay-free operation - can function without delay, making it ideal for vocals and other sources sensitive to stereo timing shifts.

Transient and Frequency Shaping

  • Multiband transient suppression - removes transients from the widening effect, helping to preserve clarity.
  • Low-frequency control - the low-cut filter removes low frequencies from the widening process, keeping the bass tight and centered.

Depth and Balance

  • Adjustable delay for depth and glue - the mono-compatible delay control allows widened elements to sit further back in the mix, helping to blend tracks together.
  • Independent mid/side control - the ENHANCE slider exclusively boosts the side channel, preserving the integrity of the mono signal. To further enhance width, the OUTPUT MID slider adjusts mid content independently, ensuring full control of the original mono component.
