I'm looking for something to widen vocals, the 90s eventide sound if you will. I've been recommended CMX in the past but recently people talk like Ubermod does that sort of thing too. Any comments welcome.

Difficult to compare these, in my opinion.

CMX is a straight-forward plug-in with few controls and very specific applications.

Ubermod is a modulation monster that can do a load of different stuff... it could be set up to do what CMX does, but it has a multitude of different applications. It is certainly not straight-forward, but it will do all you expect from it and perhaps some weird things you didn't even expect.

Do you have the demo of Ubermod installed? Sean once posted this patch for Ubermod, as it does some effect that is not unlike doubling that you'd get with something like CMX. You could test it to see if it's to your liking.
But CMX is a pitchshifter plugin, which Ubermod is not, I think there's room for both, but indeed, both can be used for widening vocals.

The patch:
<ValhallaUberMod pluginVersion="1.0.1" presetName="Micro Double" Mix="1" Depth="1" StereoWidth="0.5" Delay="0.0232999995" Feedback="0" Spread="0.5" Slope="0.5" Skew="0.5" Random="0" TapGain="0.5" Diffusion="0.5" DiffSize="0.0204081628" DiffModRate="0.0490490496" DiffModDepth="0.5" LowCut="0" HighCut="1" SpatialXover="0.145728648" DetuneRate="0.0490490496" DetuneDepth="0.5" VibratoRate="0.298245579" VibratoDepth="0" OverMod="0" DriveInGain="0.25" DriveOutGain="0.75" DriveNoiseGain="0" FeedbackRotate="0.5" SmoothingTime="0.0990990996" ColorMode="0" DelaySync="0" type="0.0416666679" DiffEnable="0" Drive="1" DrivePrePost="0" Speed="0" InputPan="0.125"/>

Thanks for the preset!

I agree there is room for both.

Eventide Make plugins too Btw https://www.eventide.com/AudioDivision/ ... ugIns.aspx

MAybve Try soundtoys' Micro-shifter http://www.soundtoys.com/product/microshift though you'll need an Ilok USB key

But all the eventide did Was pitch-shift the audio in stereo with a wet dry knob

Any pitch-shifter will do
If your plugin is a Synth-edit/synth-maker creation, Say So.
If not Make a Mac version of your Plugins Please.
