Jelstudio has released Mono2Stereo Shimmer, a dynamic sound-effect that claims to liven up mono or stereo source-audio that is too digitally perfect or 'life-less'.
If you have ever had a VSTi synth that sounded too 'sterile/clean/digital', then "Shimmer" can create some movement in the sound. Digital mono-tracks can be too perfect for some use-cases, and "Shimmer" can take this digitally-perfect mono and make it sound more like it was recorded on a stereotape with its small fluctuations in the stereo-image. It can range from subtle, almost undetectable, which is useful when the plugin is used on every single track in a mix, over more obvious dynamic effects, which is useful when used on a single mono-track, to extreme movement of the sound, which can be useful for sound-experimentation.
Price: $35.
