It's easily automatable too. I set up an LFO to widen against the rate of my filter LFO for instance and it makes for a really great headphone effect. I use the S1 Imager to great effect.

The Izotope link you posted gives good information about the importance of checking mixes for mono compatibility and how you can use Ozone's tools to troubleshoot phase cancellation. Here's the link to the DUY Native plugins that were recently released. Here's a link to where you can download the demos (you need an iLok) <a href="http://www.duystore.com/com/download.html" rel="nofollow">DUY link</a> The DUY plugs are available for multiple formats on the Mac (AU,VST, MAS, RTAS), but on Windows will only run natively in Protools. I find their "DUY Wide" and "DUY Valve" indispensable for mixing ITB. Hi Oliver.

Thanks for the comments. I don't see DUY Wide as a native plug-in for Mac OS-X. Maybe I am overlooking it? Do you have a link? Thanks for the tips I will 2x check Ozone's widener, in fact I emailed Izotope for their opinion. Hi Alex. Thanks for the comments. I don’t see DUY Wide as a native plug-in for Mac OS-X.

If you have not already done so, definitely give DUY's "Wide" a try. It uses M/S technique to create a very wide stereo image, while keeping the original sonic material sounding thick (I believe that most DUY plugins are now AU/UB too). Brainworx's BX Digital also uses M/S for stereo widening. Both do an great job of stereo widening, without ANY phase cancellation. I like how BX Digital allows you to set a frequency below which all signal is set to mono, keeping your low end centered (no "needle-jumping, as referred to in an above post) and your stereo highs sounding huge.

I just mean "in between" your audio source and the main outputs. Nothing special as far live is concerned... just put the plug-in on the channel you want to use it. That's what I would consider inserting it... I hope that helps clear it up a little for you. Hello Ivan. I just mean “in between” your audio source and the main outputs.

Do you mean chain of plugins in Audio/MIDI effect zone or its something differnet? -Ivan Hi Oliver,

Can you explain how do you use and realise “insert” in Ableton. Do you mean chain of plugins in Audio/MIDI effect zone or its something differnet?
