Leapwing Audio – StageOne V1.2 (MAC)

One of the jobs of a mix engineer is to create a realistic sense of physical space to immerse listeners in the music. While careful level setting, tone sculpting, and smart panning decisions play a vital role in making that a reality, sometimes you need a specialized tool to add depth and width to your mix. Enter the StageOne stereo width and depth plug-in. Leveraging Leapwing Audio’s unique algorithm, StageOne enhances your mixes with unprecedented dimensionality that imbues your stereo mixes with a rich sense of space, while avoiding phase misalignment, mono-compatibility issues, and artifacts inherent to other stereo widening tools. When used on stereo stems, here at Sweetwater we’ve found that StageOne enlivens synth pads, percussion ensembles, and spacial effects — it also excels on the mix bus for defining a holistic soundstage. Additionally, StageOne offers a streamlined workflow via an attractive and easy-to-read Retina-design user interface. Make your mixes deeper and wider — and satiate your listeners — with the StageOne width and depth plug-in from Leapwing Audio.
