Stereomaker
★★★★★Imprescindible para cualquier mezcla. Lo utilizo en cada sesión. Gracias bx!! -
You can have your cake and eat it too!
★★★★★Stereomaker truly is remarkable. I've tried all kinds of mix tricks over the years to turn mono to stereo - Haas effect delays, slight pitch shifting, chorusing, ADT. This thing is way easier to use, sounds better and is always mono compatible without losing volume. I love it on any mono source that needs a little width! -
This is good
★★★★★I just wrote a review for Mono Upmix, and had to come and leave one for stereomaker also. I use them both on mono acoustic and mono electric guitar channels. As I mentioned in other review, I buy more plugins than I use, but this is one I'm glad I have and I use a lot for immediate improvement in mono sources - makes them maybe sound more "real" in context of mix. Lessens need for other plugin tweaking on same source. -
a Flawless tool
★★★★★I've been looking for a decent stereo maker for years that doesn't create artifacts and phase problems, I finally found it. this tool does what it promises and has an enhancing impact on everything from bass to vocals. for now, especially when compared to other products in the same price range, it is a must have. -
A great discovery
★★★★★At a first sight, what this plug-in does is very similar to other “stereoidizer” plugins that come for free with most DAWs. So why to pay for it, I wondered? But it’s when you listen back to mono a processed track, that the magic of this plugin comes out, and you can understand the engineering skills beyond its realization. While a track processed with your stock DAW plugin sounds carved and thin when listened in mono, with bx_stereomaker you can retain all the original sound features, with no degradation at all. You just get back to the original unprocessed sound, and this is actually the most relevant added value of this plugin.
I’m used to record all acoustic guitars with a stereo pair miking, to get depth and width. I tried bx_stereomaker on a track I could only record in mono, and the magic happened. If you can’t set a time-consuming stereo microphone placement, just make a good mono recording, patch in the bx_stereomaker… and it’s done!
Thank you Dirk! :-) -
Must Have
★★★★★This finds a place on just about every mix. Also amazing on voice overs. It just brings the right amount of space and depth without sounding unnatural. It literally sounds like you had 2 mics on it instead of one. Probably the best money I've spent on a plugin. -
Great stereo effect with remarkable mono compability
★★★★★Out of all the effects for making stereo from mono tracks I have in my plugin folder, this one has the very best mono compability while being able to make the stereo field really wide. -
Stereomaker
★★★★★Really useful and easy to use plugin that does exactly what it is supposed to do. -

bx_stereomaker
★★★★★I'm writing this review to answer the question: Why should I spend $99 on this when I can get Wider for free? Wider pings the panning position of the signal with each note very obnoxiously. While I still visually notice just a bit of gradual sway between left and right peak levels when I push the widening knob far, it's not jarring at all to the ear. You get a little bit of analogue style coloration when you apply this plugin but in all cases so far, it only improves the tonality. If you have orchestral libraries, this plugin is a must because the vast majority of them have phasing and mono-compatibility issues. Narrow the stereo field as much as necessary with free Ozone Imager, then widen it back up with impunity with this plugin. Until VST library makers make proper mic positioning a priority, this will be your go-to plug in.Plugin Alliance responseThanks a lot and enjoy your new tool!
