Softube has introduced two new audio plugins that are designed to create a stereo signal from a mono track or widen an existing stereo track.
Clipper is a music producer’s ace in the hole for giving finished tracks the final push needed to match loudness expectations in the mixing as well as the mastering process.
We designed Clipper with this in mind, but true to form, we added some extra features to this dual-stage clipper to empower you to go beyond that and make creative decisions about the sound and vibe of the clipping. With the dual clipping stages RMS and Peak, an analog color option, and an optimized soft knee function, Clipper is at once analytical and vibey.
Widener lets you create a stereo signal from a mono track or widen an existing stereo track with five unique widening algorithms, each suited to your production needs.
But why use a spatial widener anyway? Opinions may vary on the risks of using spatial wideners, but the dirty little secret is this: many producers, and even mastering engineers, use them as an easy, effective way to make their track stand out. Caution must be used, of course, to avoid ruining your sound with unwanted artifacts. If you do, you have an amazingly effective tool to produce an immersive listening experience. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Wade into the wider world with Widener.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX), Clipper and Widener are priced $79 USD. For a limited time only, the bundle of both is offered at a 50% discount ($79 USD).
The offer is valid at the Softube store and from Plugin Boutique until March 20th, 2024.
