Back in January 2021, Nugen Audio announced their Focus Elements solutions, aimed at small/home studio owners. Powered by the same Nugen Audio technology, these Elements versions are budget-friendly, streamlined versions of their popular Focus bundle plug-ins.

The first to be released is Stereoizer Elements, a stereo width plug-in that adds depth to stereo and mono mixes.

Stereoizer Elements is a simplified version of the Nugen Audio Stereoizer plug-in, which still gives access to all three of its stereo width algorithms - linear width, Interaural Intensity Difference and Interaural Time Difference - via one straightforward control, enabling you to...

• Add polish and spatial balance

• Create stereo audio from a mono source

• Create a super-wide stereo image And the best part, your mix will still sound great in mono.

Stereoizer Elements has been designed to provide instant stereo enhancement with mono compatibility and no unwanted artefacts. Like the full-fat Stereoizer software, the Elements plug-in offers users a more coherent sound, with polish and spatial balance, designed to ensure your mix will sound great in both stereo and mono. Stereoizer Elements is a perfect introduction to creating a feeling of natural space or for pushing the envelope for a full, super-wide expansion of the stereo image.

What Is The Difference Between Stereoizer And Stereoizer Elements?

Both are designed to be “super mono-compatible”.

• With Stereoizer you can control 3 stereo width algorithms independently and define frequency bounds for IID and ITD

  • Interaural Intensity Difference

  • Interaural Time Difference

  • Linear Width

• Stereoizer Elements enables you to control the 3 algorithms simultaneously using one slider.
