Like magic
doesn't seem to work on every type of material, but when it does, it's like magic. widening is subtle, but extremely natural and doesn't mess with the stereo image.

A Little Goes A Long Way
This is one of those products where just a little bit goes a long way. I use this plug-in as a stereo widener only, I don’t use the ambience recovery feature at all. Maybe I will down the road. I compared this plug to several other stereo wideners Including the JST Sidewidener, Izotope’s Stereo Imager, Goodhertz Mid-Side Matrix and Logic’s native stereo directional plug among others and this one did the best job of making it sound huge while still being undetectable unless you A/B it with the unprocessed audio. I just lower the mid a decibel or two, raise the sides a half decibel or so, set gain compensation and BOOM! This plug will most likely be on all my master chains from now on. Love it.

Great polish
I think this plugin is great for adding that final subtle polish to a master. I use it together with the Precision Maximizer to create the master tracks, and it makes a good mix even better. Highly recommended.

Precision K-Stereo Ambience Recovery!

Secret Weapon
This plugin sat on the back shelf for years and now I cant believe it was ever there. I literally don't even touch the controls. Add it to your master bus once you feel you're finished and it will almost every time say...ok now you're finished. It is a very subtle polish that was missing.

Awesome plugin
Awesome plugin, such a fine workmanship is just great.
I tested it in demo for several days for the instruments separately and then when mixing, the question disappeared in the purchase.
I bought it now, I'm happy.
Something like this can of course be assembled, but it takes a lot of time.
Latitude, depth, frequency clipping and M/S in one bottle - Super !!!!C. Prey
nothing comparable out there
This tool is just brilliant, it adds depth and dimension to a mix like magic. Before buying, i tried a few other stereo tools to see if i can get the effect cheaper, but nope. They just do stereo widening. I'm glad i got it...thanks UAD and Bob Katz for this !

Great
Excellent plug in, I use it on vocals and in mastering to give stereo to vocals and environment.
A really great plug in!
