Widener is designed to enhance audio tracks by transforming mono signals into stereo or by expanding the stereo width of existing stereo tracks. It offers a selection of five unique widening algorithms—Frequency Spread, Classic, Rotation, Ambience, and Reflections—each delivering distinct spatial effects to suit various mixing needs. These algorithms employ advanced audio techniques such as phase shifting, Mid/Side processing, and reverberation to create a rich and immersive stereo field while maintaining clarity and minimizing distortion.

This plugin provides intuitive control over stereo imaging, making it accessible for producers and engineers seeking to add depth and dimension to their mixes. It features visual tools like a goniometer and correlation meter, which help users accurately monitor and adjust the stereo width, ensuring a balanced and coherent sound stage. These visual aids are essential for making precise adjustments and preserving the integrity of the original audio content throughout the widening process.

Widener is compatible with a range of mixing setups, including integration with the Console 1 Mixing System, making it a flexible addition to any production environment. Whether working with mono or stereo sources, this plugin delivers efficient and effective widening capabilities that elevate the spatial quality of your mixes. Its combination of multiple algorithms and real-time visual feedback makes it a valuable tool for creating immersive audio experiences.
