Multiband Exciter + Stereo Imager plug-ins that aren't ozone?

[XComposer]

panning is not m/s widening. however MLimiterMB also has m/s so it should technically be able to do split-band widening such as ozone

You're right. Another interesting free tool is Six Band Spreader by CIS DSP Factory. It seems abandoned by the developers, but it can still be downloaded and is working here on my Mac. http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?pl ... er&id=1746

Fiedler Audio "Stage" is quiet nice (if you grab it on Discount 30?EUR).

- Voxengo MSED is a very useful Tool to balance Mid/Side Signals seperately (free).

Multiband distortions can be used as exciters. They work the same way, just apply the distortion more lightly. So you’d be able to factor Fabfilter Saturn into that as well as iZotope Trash.

There is also Waves Vitamin that is a bit of a different beast, it does the multiband thing stereo widening thing, but it also does this saturation cross compression cross eq type thing. It’s design purpose is certainly for enhancing the audio as well. Definitely worth auditioning for your purpose.

the only non-multiband exciter i use is voxengo warmifier. everything else is too intrusive for my taste.

Tastes are a wonderfully personal thing. If we never had different tastes, music would sound all the same.

Actually, it almost does, lets not tempt fate even further!!
