Use on a buss
Took me a bit to figure out where to use this plug but now it’s a staple in my template. I have it on a bus with only the sides + 3db. Send whatever needs extra width as you mix there and there you have it. It’s subtle as many have mentioned but that’s the beauty. It’s not like a doubler or chorus it’s very pure with no phasing issues.

내겐 꼭 필요한 플러그인이다.
It is very useful and useful for the wide range of sound.

Simple y grabitante
Se pueden provocar cambios considerables, más finos de lo que me permite BBE sounds y Waves. Los nombres de modos ABCD / All no ayudan al usuario.

Terric !!! awesome!
I just read Bob Katz Mastering book , he comments about this plug in he create with UAD. Immediately i gave it a chance and oh , god ! for producers making recordings at home this tools is saves a lot of work. I didn't believe how the depth is achieve and natural sounded
thanks Bob and UADB. Mora
Unique, subtle sweetener
I especially like it on mono voiceover / spoken word tracks, brightens and adds presence quickly and easily.

Amazing tool
Compared it to Leapwing StageOne, Mathew Lane StereoDelta and Brainworx bx_control V2. None of them come close to the sound quality of this plugin. All of them ruin the sound stage and mess up the timbre of the source (all bad frequencies and resonances start to come up when you widen the stereo image), while K-Stereo does exactly opposite - enhances the sound stage and the timbre in very natural way. The man who made this plugin is a genius. I'm also amazed at DSP hit, only 3%!

Too subtle for me
I’m not an expert, as a novice I find this to be too subtle to be of any value to me, I wish I had sampled it first before buying, I’d much rather have a different plugin instead. I’m sure the experts love it though, based on the amount of stars on the review forum.

A must for your mixes
I am a producer/engineer and well as an Artist... I have produced and mixed for Bruce Kulick (Kiss, Grand Funk Railroad), Co produced a song on Ace Frehley's new record, Todd Kerns (Slash) and Flavor Flav (Public Enemy) to name a few. This plug in is a must for big wide back up panning vocals, guitars as well as other instruments with stereo panning.
I love the old big console sound, so besides the K Stereo, I use UA's Neve Pre Amps, SSL 4000 console with UA's tape emulator and you get the BIG WIDE WARM TONES with the saturation that real tape gives.L. Banks
Big Sides
I was introduced to this plug-in by a friend that just so happens to be a mastering engineer. I use it to instantly add width and liveliness to stereo instruments. You definitely need to be selective when choosing where to use it and dialing in the settings. But with a decerning ear, it can add just enough to make a sound sit better in a mix.
