As this week's Free Plug-in, we are featuring Spread Light from Yum Audio.
UPDATE - This time limited offer has now expired and Spread light is no longer free
What Is Spread Light?
Spread Light is a widening tool which allows you to narrow the stereo width of tracks or push them wider in mixing and mastering situations. With 2 different processing modes for added variety you can control the width of stereo material easily and effectively.
The two modes are M/S, which manipulates the sum and difference levels to control width, and Haas, which uses short delays to create width. The Tilt control allows the left-right balance of a stereo signal to be altered, ideal for correcting off centre recordings.
