This video covers recreating the stereo widening effect of the "Wider 2.0" plugin by Infected Mushroom inside Bitwig Studio. The original plugin creates a stereo effect by manipulating peaks and dips on opposite channels, which cancel out when summed back to mono. The tutorial explains how to replicate this using all-pass filters and additional controls in Bitwig, offering more customization than the plugin itself.

Key points:

Wider 2.0 Overview: A free stereo widener for mono signals, making them appear stereo.

Recreation in Bitwig: Uses all-pass filters to create peaks and dips, canceling out when summed to mono.

Customization in Bitwig: Extra controls for mid/side gain, center frequency, and low-pass filtering.

Convolution Reverb: Added to the side channel to give a more natural room effect.

Phaser-like Effect: Excessive widening can create a phaser or flanger sound due to frequency manipulation.

Hey folks, another day, another plugin re-created in the Grid of Bitwig Studio. "Wider" by Infected Mushroom makes mono signals appear wider in the stereo field by introducing peaks and dips in the frequency spectrum differently on the left and right channels. You can do this in Bitwig pretty easily, and so I did. Here is my preset you can download: https://bit.ly/4cYtLtG Video transcribed, summarized and Q&A on my Blog (no ads): https://polarity.me/posts/polarity-music/2024-09-10-wider-make-signals-mono-to-stereo-and-wide/ -- 💕 Support me on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3PgbxZz 💰 donate via Paypal: https://bit.ly/3cae9t8 🎧 my Music: https://polarity.bandcamp.com/ 💾 my Tools: https://polarity.me/posts/articles/2024-08-04-polarity-tools/ 💻 my Gear: https://kit.co/polarity/polarity-music-kit 👉 Discord: https://discord.gg/eWwFBww 👉 Website: https://polarity.me -- 🛒 Buy Bitwig Studio & Support me https://bit.ly/3yQEyDU 🛒 Upgrade Bitwig Studio & Support me https://bit.ly/3OimEjc 🛒 VST/AU Plugin Deals https://bit.ly/3zcvo66
