Not bad, not bad!
I don't know how it works but it works, since I have it I allways try to put somewhere in the mastering chain and it is allways better with it than without it. Nothing big, but I think it...

Delay effect :(
Hi UAD,
I have bought this plugin, because it makes nice stereo ambience in mastering, but.... I have bought it and I found that kick in the track is DOUBLED! Why this?? Also it makes L/R disharmony. If I turn of RECOVER button, all playes good, but it doesnt play as I want it. i want to have recovery mode ON and I dont want to hear double delayed kick. The thing is, this is not appearing in each track, sometimes it sounds nice and without this delay. I have tryied EQ, to cut some frequencies but this kick was all the time double. Can you fix this somehow?? 200 eur for plugin which I almost cant use its not very fair. I have bought this for mastering, but my customers returns these tracks to me and I need to remaster them again...E. Vee
Awesom

The K- Stereo is exactly what i was looking for. The "Big" preset, under katzman totally opens up the mix. All of a sudden the different tracks have room to breathe, and the track just sounds more expensive. One of the best plugins Ive purchased from UAD, which is saying a lot.

Nothing big, but I think it fixes my mistakes in the stereo field without causing further problems :)

It won me over fast
I overlooked the K-Stereo plugin at first, but once I demoed it, I purchased it immediately. It is listed as a mastering plugin, but it is not limited to that. I definitely find places for it during mixing as well. Nothing else out there adds that stereo sound to a track as well as the K-Stereo!! Thanks UA!!

Impressed
I am pretty impressed with this plug. Generally speaking most 'widening' plugs create some sonically scary issues with the audio source however this plug does a very nice job of retaining the source.
I've applied this to many tracks in my mixes and am quite pleased with the results!K. Newton
Fab Bit of mastering genius
Subtle but unique plugin. Like nothing I've used before and I've used pretty much every plug known to man !

OK I guess
It has some use, though I don't think I would use it again. Ruins the drum sound. Can make the mix more punchy, but at the expense of other instruments in the mix. You can hear a difference, when using it, and it makes it seem better for a short time. Once you go back and listen again, you'll want to leave it off.

Almost magical, it's hard to do without. But, then you have to use it sparingly.
Casi mágico, es difícil prescindir de él. Pero claro, hay que utilizarlo con moderación.M. Navia
Great!
Great plug-in !, I use it almost always. Not only gets the environment, it also gives an expansion to the stereo image very particular not found in other plug-in

Subtle but great for the mix
Really like this, sometimes its very hard to hear what its doing but it helps separate the sounds it to there own space..
Its definitely made a difference in my mixes and was worth $100 for sure.A. Anyn

I tried demo and I bought. There is a wish to tell only some words. Everything became deeper, wider, is more transparent!
UAD bravo!
