What StageOne 2 does
The developer lists WIDTH, DEPTH, PHASE RECOVERY and CENTER GRAVITY among the processing options, and the WIDTH algorithm expands surrounding elements while the phantom center is kept in place.
The DEPTH algorithm uses directionally optimized reflections to add depth to the sound field, and mono sources can be pushed toward the sides of a stereo signal. The PHASE RECOVERY algorithm identifies and realigns out-of-phase components, and CENTER GRAVITY allows the stereo image to be tilted. Builds are available as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS. Crack and keygen searches for stageone 2 crack, stageone 2 keygen and stageone 2 serial key circulate with the x64 crack and x86 crack builds, and the macOS crack is packed as a .dmg crack.
Key features
- Stereo widening. The WIDTH algorithm expands surrounding elements of a mix while preserving the phantom center.
- Depth processing. The DEPTH algorithm adds perceived depth through directionally optimized reflections in the sound field.
- Mono to stereo. Mono tracks can be spread into a stereo panorama, with center content pushed toward the sides of the stereo signal.
- 3-band soundstage control. Five algorithms are arranged under a 3-band control over the stereo soundstage.
- Phase recovery. The PHASE RECOVERY algorithm identifies out-of-phase components and realigns them.
- Center gravity. CENTER GRAVITY lets the user rebalance the stereo image and tilt it with precise control.
