SideMinder 2 is a revolutionary enhancement to the world of audio mixing, offering advanced control over stereo width without compromising mono compatibility. Built for professional audio engineers and mastering technicians, this plugin provides a robust solution to common stereo imaging problems.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Stereo Width Enhancement: SideMinder 2 uses lookahead FIR correlation detectors to monitor the stereo field. It dynamically adjusts the width only when negative correlation threatens mono compatibility, ensuring a stable and enhanced stereo image.
- Bass Mono Control: Features a specialized “Bass Mono” control that narrows the stereo image below a selected cutoff frequency, centralizing bass frequencies and solidifying the foundation of your tracks—ideal for mastering for vinyl.
- Output Correlation Meter: Even when bypassed, the output correlation meter remains active, providing a visual guide to understand the effects of the plugin on your mix before and after processing.
- Non-Invasive Dynamics: Unlike typical mid/side processors, SideMinder 2 operates as a differential limiter rather than a dynamic range limiter, preserving the natural dynamics of your audio.
