I just wanted to let you folks know that while working with Digital Performer on OS 9, your Stereo Pack has become one of my favorite treatment packs.

Frankly, I'm astonished that they haven't gained more attention. For instance, I can't tell you how many times, during a mix, I need to do something special with a particular mono source, or treat a lead vocal in a verse rather than a chorus, or during a break, that I LEAP for your PseudoStereo Plug.

It's brilliant. I can take a simple mono track and make it stand 2 feet in front of the speakers, yet sit in the mix.

I wonder if you had called the plug-in something like "Dimension 4" if people would have gotten the idea.

There is no question in my mind that both Pseudo Stereo and the Stereo Enhancer would enjoy wide appreciation if people knew exactly how good they are. They're not just 'special circumstance' treatments, but can create a basic sonic element in any mix that is valuable and noticeable.

So, thanks for making these great plug-ins, and if you ever want to consider releasing versions of them for OSX, maybe a more 'mysterious' name might be in order so that people won't assume that they are redundant to anyone already recording tracks in stereo!

Does the Stereo Enhancer plug leave all of the instruments on a final mix in their place while improving a sense of stereo, or is every instrument spread out across the stereo field?

ie - are hard panned tracks still panned left or right or do they become smeared across the stereo image?

I love the enhancement it gives. Not able to quite tell if this is what it's doing...

i also would like to have stereopack on osx... pleas psp make it happen

Me too!

Hello,

Thanks you for all your votes. It looks like we should get back to our oldest plug-in set right after dealing with other plug-ins' AU and RTAS versions (comming really soon).

The StereoEnhancer can be used on any stereo track depending on needs and its settings. Please keep in mind that it is deeply processing one and should be used with moderate settings.

Hard panned tracks will not keep their original position because the algorithm will make their panning fuzzy in the way depending on settings.

Regards,

Yes, I'd also vote for a Stereo Pack update (really love the Stereo Analyzer), and PianoVerb, which I grew really fond of as well. This, of course, after the MixPack & Vintage Warmer AU updates

Fantastic! How encouraging. Thanks PSP for being so responsive, not to mention innovative!

yep. i'd be happy with simple ports, but psp please surprise us and make them evolve how about combining stereo analyzer and width processor? i'd kill for a plugin that lets me analyze the signal at the same time i make adjustments to it. i'm thinking a kind of waves S1 + PAZ or something...

one more thing you probably have already given a thought... how about supporting 96kHz (and higher?) sample rates - i think stereopack is currently limited to 48kHz sessions.

I too am greatly missing the PSP StereoPack in OSX. I used it on most compositions when working under OS9.2. It became a valuable creative tool. I have recently purchased a G5 and while it is in itself a superior machine utilising a superior OS I have started to get withdrawal symptoms for my beloved StereoPack.

I have posted a few questions on various forums wondering if there is anything else comparable out there but as yet I haven't found anything.

Does anyone here know of any Stereoization plug-ins to be used primarily on a mono sound source that are as good as the PSP ones? I'm using Logic Pro 6 by the way so Audio Units would be preferable although if it's a VST and it can be wrapped then that would also do me fine.

Thanks in advace.

I concur with everybody else on this thread in hoping you can get some time squeezed in to do an AU update on the StereoPack. I know it would be greatly appreciated by many of us.

I am looking forward to being able to use stereopack on osx too!!!

Yes, Pseudo Stereo is now the only reason I have to boot into OS9 with Digital Performer. I'd gladly pay for just that plug in OSX AU format!

Count me in I will buy a stereo pack for osx AU!!!

Please Do it

Count me in too! I've never tried it, but if it's from PSP I know it sounds GREAT!!!!!!!

another vote. its INVALUABLE!!! i dont know if my move to OSX wil be detained by not having it... i cant imagine mixing without the stereo pack. i find it much more important than the mixpack or VW for that matter.

I will definately purchase Stereo Pack RTAS and TDM / HTDM for OSX - pending it's availabillity.

Another vote for an OSX version here too, I am happy to pay to have these plugs work with new machines.

Mateusz, what's the lastest on StereoPack for OSX AU? Are you getting any closer to having it available?

Stereo pack for osx AU! I'll take half a dozen. I'm being serious, most of my clients buy on my recommendation and as soon as an AU version is out I'll be making a big noise. It has long been one of my favourite tools, one I can no longer use and my heart aches for the day when we shall be together once more (violins in the background).
But in all serioiusness, Mateusz, are there any ideas on how long still? I need a stereo plug within the next two months and I don't want to use another brand as I don't like what I've heard. Perhaps that's the wrong tone. The psp stereo pack sounds so much sweeter than everything else that the competition pales in comparison.

Wow, this thread is now over two years old. But we'll keep it running for as long as it takes to get an AU update of our beloved StereoPack!

Yes, please. I own stereopack but can't use it because it's not avaiable for AU/Os X. Pleeeeeease port it..... please, please, please.

Stereo Pack for OS X at last! Delighted.. working great here on Cubase SX 3.1

Good news!

Thanks for your ongoing support!!

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for finally getting this out for OSX!

One question, what's the trick to getting the presets to show up in DP 4.6? I'm not seeing them in the mini menu, and they don't show up in "show in finder" either.

There are no presets in AU nor RTAS.
