SideMinder 2, a second-generation dynamic stereo width enhancer plugin, offers a solution to the challenge of maintaining the quality of expansive stereo mixes during mono playback. It addresses issues caused by out-of-phase signals in the left and right channels that often result in cancellation problems in mono output. By smartly analyzing stereo material with lookahead FIR correlation detectors, SideMinder 2 dynamically narrows the stereo image when negative correlation is detected, ensuring mono compatibility while allowing for an overall expansion of stereo width. This innovative approach differs from conventional "mid/side" compression techniques and does not alter the signal's dynamics.
Furthermore, SideMinder 2 provides both visual and auditory feedback on its signal processing, empowering sound engineers and producers to make informed decisions during mixing and mastering. It includes a "Bass Mono" control to narrow the stereo image below a specified frequency, particularly valuable in vinyl mastering to center the bass frequencies and enhance audio solidity. Even when SideMinder 2's processing is bypassed, the Output Correlation meter remains active for monitoring, facilitating adjustments.
