Spreader LC is a stereo widener designed to enhance and expand the stereo image while preserving the integrity of center-positioned audio. It offers two distinct methods for widening sound, allowing you to choose the approach that best suits your mix and creative goals. This tool is particularly effective for group tracks, stereo sounds, and mastering applications where maintaining a balanced and rich stereo field is essential.

The first method, mid-side mode, separates the center and side components of the audio, allowing precise control over their levels. This approach helps maintain the strength of center elements by using dedicated controls to bring them back into the mix if they become too weak during widening. This ensures that key sounds like vocals or bass remain clear and focused while the stereo image is expanded.

The second method, phase-shift mode, enhances the sound by introducing subtle delays selectively across the stereo field. This technique spreads frequencies thoughtfully and thickens mono sources without causing noticeable phase-related artifacts. It adds weight and depth to the audio, making it ideal for fattening up individual instruments or tracks while preserving clarity and cohesion.
