K-Stereo Ambience Processor

High-Resolution VST processor for natural and unobtrusive enhancement, expansion, and equalization of the ambience, space, imaging, depth and width in a recording without adding artificial reverberation or causing unwanted coloration or artifacts.

K-Stereo is a patented by Bob Katz, a recognized mastering engineer from the USA, psychoacoustical process (US Pat.7076071) that extracts the ambience inherent in ordinary recordings, and is capable of spreading that uncorrelated ambience around the soundstage, and enlarging the size of that soundstage, both deeper and wider.
In addition, K-Stereo enhances the depth and imaging of the instruments and vocals without adding any artificial reverberation. It does not have a sound of its own; it just enhances the existing ambience and early reflections. K-Stereo is also capable of making a natural mono to stereo conversion.

More information is available at Algorithmix’s site.

Features

• atural and unobtrusive enhancement, expansion, and equalization of the ambience in a recording without adding artificial reverberation or causing unwanted coloration and/or artifacts
• improves the definition, depth, width and space of any recording
• enhances the shape, spread, tonality and depth when used in reverb return
• preserves the color and feel of the original reverberation
• compensates for spatial and depth losses associated with wordlength reduction, e.g. 16-bit or mp3
• moves instruments and vocalists that are too far up front—away from the listener
• mono to stereo conversion preserving excellent mono compatibility
• reliable operation with up to 384 kHz sampling frequency, thus perfectly suitable for high-resolution DSD post-production
• extremely low noise and low nonlinear distortion algorithm implementation resulting in the residual THD+N significantly lower than 24-bit quantization noise
• all internal calculations are in double floating-point accuracy (80 bits)
• low CPU usage allowing many instances to be opened simultaneously
• exact parameter editing via numerical fields
• three fast accessible presets for quick setup comparison
• complete setup exchange among several simultaneously opened instances

Applications

• mastering and re-mastering
• high-resolution DSD post-processing including ultrasonic range
• post-production
• broadcast production
• sound enhancement
• audio restoration

Algorithmix continues developing reference-class DAW plug-ins for audio mastering and restoration. The highly recognized linear-phase and classic equalizers as well as the renowned audio repairing tool, reNOVAtor, will be extended by the release of a linear-phase split compressor, DynaMix.

DirectX/VST high-resolution linear-phase mastering split compressor featuring parallel and MS mode, different linear-phase split filters, adjustable soft knee, intelligent auto-release, and parameterized soft clipper.

This creative dynamic tool with unparalleled transparency and sound purity combines the best of both the analog and digital worlds. The character of this plug-in can be continuously adjusted between being more compressor or limiter. It provides a lot of psycho-acoustically optimized features like automatic dynamic characteristics, soft knee, and parameterized soft clipper.
