How to use Stereo Pusher?

Use the Attack and Recover knobs to change how the peak detection system reacts to the incoming peaks.

Discover the magical "Push Delay" feature that uses a clever solution to avoid the phase issues that traditional stereo enhancers can sometimes introduce. By delaying the peak handling instead of the audio samples themselves, you maintain wave alignment between the left and right channels, which should help prevent phase cancellation problems when the audio is played back in mono.

At the bottom you can change the 'Peak Handling' mode from Stereo to Mono. This will change the way the plugin works with your source. Mono uses the sum of Left and Right and will be sent to the detection system. This results in the Punch staying in the center of your stereo field. Stereo mode divides the detection system and handling into 2 separate instances and works with the Left and Right channels separately.

With the BandPass filter you can alter the signal Stereo Pusher uses to detect the peaks. It adds a level of customization to how the peak detection system responds to different aspects of the audio signal. This could give producers and audio engineers the flexibility to shape the character of the stereo field according to their preferences.

How does it work?

For this plugin we created a special technique that combines 2 worlds (stereo/mono) with (mid/side). It uses dynamic information from the stereo channels to modulate the mid channel while retaining the side channel. This creates movement in the stereofield controlled by the peakinformation of the original stereo channels, thus retaining the punch of the original input in a magical way.

Oversampling

Stereo Pusher is equipped with a wide range of different oversampling filters to fit your sound and CPU usage. Anti aliasing plays a huge role in getting the best out of the peak detection system. It guarrantees precise behaviour and a crystal clear sound.
