StageOne 2 is a stereo imaging effect that gives you detailed control over width, depth, and balance across three frequency bands. It offers five algorithms: Width stretches the stereo field while preserving the phantom center; Depth adds directionally optimized reflections for a stronger sense of space; Mono Spread turns mono sources into wide pseudo-stereo or pushes center content outward; Phase Recovery realigns out-of-phase material to avoid loss when summed to mono; and Center Gravity tilts the stereo image left or right. A visualizer helps you see what’s happening. It suits producers and mix engineers working in pop, electronic, hip-hop, or film music who want a wider, more immersive mix without phase issues. Use it on synth pads, backing vocals, drum overheads, or any track needing extra width and depth.
