    Width Knob allows you to quickly and easily adjust the stereo width of your bus or track.

    It is a great and simple tool for automating power into your chorus, or anywhere else you might need to adjust the stereo width in an intuitive and fast manner.

    Width Knob provides a simple way to create contrast in your mixes, keeping your mixes alive and interesting.

    Product Description
    Why A Width Knob?

    This is a tool that everyone should have and everyone should use. The real reason I made this plugin was because I became addicted to the stereo width knob provide in Reaper, and it drove me insane every time I had to use another DAW that didn’t have it.

    Rather than go on some campaign about how every DAW should have this by default, I figured it was easier to just make a plugin version of this effect and give it to everyone for free.

    This plugin is so easy and intuitive to use, yet so powerful that it is really a must have for any workflow.

    This is Not a Stereo Widener
    In fact, it’s the opposite. This plugin does not add anything that will increase the stereo width of your track. It will only reduce the stereo width. it ranges from -100% to +100%, letting you not only narrow your mixes, but to flip the L/R channels easily and smoothly.

    Go get it!

    I just got this in the mail:

    Update for AU version of Width Knob


    Really quick. Some of you who downloaded Width Knob today noticed that it didn't work in Logic Pro. I just updated the mac version to 1.0.2, so you should be able to download the update and it should be working fine now.

    If you aren't using the AU version, there's no real reason to download this update.

    You can download the update directly from your downloads page here: http://www.bozdigitallabs.com/my-account/downloads/

    Thanks for your patience

    I would have thought any decent DAW can do that with stock features. Well... perhaps not... Samplitude and Sequoia sure can, anyhow.

    I just finished a Project where this would have come in handy as a simplified Version of Waves S1. I had to make tighten the Stereo Image on my Busses to keep the mix Mono compatible. Certainly useful.

    The only thing I don't like about it is: 1. The Name. It's irritating. It should be called "More Mono" ore something. Because that's what it does: it makes the original either more mono or switches the left and right channel and does not make it wider than the original signal. 2. It should have a simple correlation meter - the green/red could react to the width easily, imo. But it's ok. ;)
