RJ Studios has released BIG, a Binaural Image Generator plugin for macOS and Windows.
BIG is a "Binaural Image Generator" plugin that will generate a pseudo-stereo image from mono sources or add a spacious "aura" to stereo sources. It does this using a combination of cross-fed micro-pitch shifting and Haas delays.
BIG incorporates two high quality micro-pitch shifters that generate complimentary pitch shifts for the left and right channels. This pitch shifting enhances the stereo image while reducing the comb filtering that can occur with simple stereo delay stereo spreading.
Hi Cut and Lo Cut filters allow controlling the frequency range of the generated signals to further improve the transparency and effectiveness of the processing.
A light touch of big in mixing can help a vocal sit in the mix while a heavy hand can create lush stereo sound fields from mono sources. When used on stereo tracks and buses big can add a dimensional "aura" that makes mixes come alive with a "3D-like" character.
BIG can be used to:
- Generate a pseudo-stereo signal from a mono input.
- Enhance the width and depth of stereo sources.
BIG can be used on:
- Mono-to-stereo tracks in DAWs that support mono>stereo plugins.
- Stereo buses.
- Instrument tracks and buses.
- Vocal tracks.
BIG comes with a basic set presets that work well for many situations.
Intro Price: $19.95 through 15 June, 2025 (Reg. $24.95).
Free 14-day trial demos are available at the RJ Studios website.
