A1StereoControl is a free stereo imaging VST, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by Alex Hilton / A1AUDIO. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

A1StereoControl is a plugin to expand or limit the ‘stereo width’ or your tracks. It can be used on single or group tracks and is also usable in final mastering situations.

The integrated ‘Safe Bass‘ algorithm centers all bass frequencies below a adjustable value right back into the middle of the stereo field. This gives your tracks the solidity and definition you want while preserving maximum transpancy and sharpness. Similar techniques were used by professional studio producers over ages with either expansive hardware devices like elliptical equalizers or even advanced m/s-processors. With this plugin you will be able to manage this complicated task with a minimum effort.

Additionally A1StereoControl brings you the possibility to place your stereo signal inside the stereo field in a very intuitive way. Our expert mode features different ‘pan laws’ (0db, -3db, -6db), different pan curves (linear, logarithmic, sin/cos) as well as classic ‘balance’ mode or ‘dual panning’.
