Description
Basslane by Tone Projects is a bass enhancement plugin designed to control the stereo width of low frequencies in tracks and mixes.
It allows music producers to narrow the stereo width of frequencies below a defined threshold, keeping the low-end tight and centered.
The plugin is useful for preventing muddiness in mixes, which can occur when low frequencies are too wide.
Basslane includes flexible monitoring options for both dry and wet signals, such as Delta, Mid, Side, and filter solo.
The plugin features two response modes, Classic and Flat, and offers a Slope switch to vary the filter steepness with selectable 6/12 dB/Oct filter slopes.
The Frequency control ranges from 10 Hz to 2.5 kHz, and the Width knob allows for adjustments from full mono to stereo.
Additionally, the Gain knob provides further control over the output level.
A notable feature is the Side Harmonics control, which introduces upper bass harmonics to add definition and pseudo width to the bass.
This feature helps maintain clarity and impact without causing muddiness.
Basslane is available in AU, VST3, and AAX formats for both macOS and Windows.
