Spike Panner is an innovative auto-panner VST plugin that dynamically adjusts sound positioning based on its loudness. When the audio level surpasses a designated threshold, the plugin shifts the panning according to the user-defined position on the panning slider. This approach allows for responsive spatial movement that reacts directly to the intensity of the sound, enhancing the stereo image with natural-sounding shifts.

The plugin offers attack and release controls that govern how quickly the sound moves away from the center and returns, providing precise control over the panning behavior. Spike Panner is especially effective at managing sudden audio spikes from centrally positioned sounds, helping them avoid clashing with other important elements in the mix, such as guitar plucks overlapping with vocals. It also adds dynamic movement to audio tracks without requiring manual automation, streamlining the workflow for producers and engineers.

As part of the Legacy Plugin Collection, Spike Panner joins 16 other VST plugins now offered for free, making it a valuable addition for those looking to expand their toolkit with high-quality audio effects. Its unique approach to automatic panning makes it a practical solution for enhancing mix clarity and adding life to static sounds within any music production environment.
