Description
Spread Light by Yum Audio is a stereo enhancement plugin designed to adjust the stereo width of audio tracks.
It offers two processing modes: Mid-Side (M/S) and Haas Effect.
The M/S mode lets users modify the width of the stereo input signal, allowing it to be narrowed to mono or expanded beyond its original width.
The Haas Effect mode uses short delays between the left and right channels to create a sense of width and positioning.
The plugin also includes a Tilt control, which functions as a stereo panner, enabling users to position audio within the stereo field.
Spread Light is known for its user-friendly interface and efficient code, making it a lightweight tool that can be used without taxing the CPU.
It is compatible with various digital audio workstations (DAWs) and supports multiple plugin formats, including VST3, AU, and AAX.
Tips
- Use the Width and Tilt parameters together to find the perfect spot for your sound in the stereo field.
- Apply the M/S mode during mastering to add or remove subtle amounts of width in your stereo mix.
- Use a big Width setting on backing vocals or synth pads to move them to the sides.
- Experiment with the Haas Effect mode to create a sense of space and width using short delays.
- Adjust the Output Gain Slider to maintain proper gain staging after applying stereo enhancements.
- Take advantage of the interactive demos on the Yum Audio website to understand how Spread Light affects different audio tracks.
