Amazing tool
You never know what your going to run into when mastering tracks. K-strereo does what it says, it recovers the ambiance and it can dial it back. Flat dull mixes can have life and reverberant mixes can be toned down. Heck throw it on a bass track it will work wonders!

Love it
Great way to add that bit of space. Very effective if you want to make some room in the middle. M/S and L/R gain. Great tool.

Transparent widening
When I have something important to master I send it to a mastering engineer. But for the people who can't afford it this tool could be useful. I honestly only played with the plugin for a half hour and briefly read the manual. As a transparent widener it does the job. There's other ways to achieve this coloration through normal processing. I might use this on a clients work only if he can't afford a "real mastering engineer". I may write a second review later when I fully understand the plugin. For my quick tests though I would only give 1 star but I gave three because I haven't used it enough-to be fair.

Very subtle, but magical nonetheless!
Helps bring out that beautiful ambiance, clarity and wideness to individual tracks and masters.

K-Stereo Ambience Recovery Genius
Goodness knows how this works but it is one of those pieces of equipment or software that is magic.
I've used it so many times on mixes now that I've actually come to rely heavily on it. It's absolutely fabulous for adding space and transparency to piano, Fender Rhodes, some of those rather annoying "stereo" synth sounds and orchestral ambience.
I've very recently used this plug-in on an orchestral and vocal album to wonderful effect, as well as on various film titles and progressive electronic music.
This piece of fantastic software is as I titled above, genius.
Thank you UAD for this and so many other beautiful tools.

puts the space back in
I have found that the K-Stereo Ambience Recovery Plug-In helps greatly to restore depth and space to the recorded image, in my mixes and mastering files sent to me.
It has become a go to for all my work. The special sauce to top it off, every time.

Use this a LOT
This has become one of my favorite plugins. I will use it just to twist the tone of the room mics into place on a mix of material I did not track... or even put it across a whole drum stem or clean guitar stem or backing vocal stereo stem just to push it out past the boxes a little... GREAT plugin. THIS is what plugins should be: extensions of complex processing that has always existed, but now breaks new ground by being packaged perfectly.

Must have!
To make real sound image, ocean way is my left hand, this one is my right hand. A must have tool to working.

Great finishing touch.
This plugin is great for anyone recording in a dry room like me. I hear no phase issues and the eq really lets you pinpoint the good stuff and eliminate the side effects. The subtle side effect that I noticed was a fast slapback delay above 10k. Kind of like bouncing a basketball in an indoor court. Cut the eq above 10k and it's gone. Bob Katz is a great engineer and his puritan attitude towards audio is sometimes needed to pull us all back in our seats.
Over all conclusion: Great, subtle, transparent plugin that makes everything shine a little bit more without sounding hyped.

This is a secret weapon (:
This one is a real gem on certain buss...
it makes things wide and deep in a unique way and makes me be able to enhance a mix in a unique way!
i haven't found it effective on the master buss because i feel it effect the transients to much
but on individual chanels like pads its a gem!

Excellent!
The K-Stereo Ambience Recovery plug in is used on all my electric and steel guitar tracks, adding that space and dimension. Works nicely on voice too. One of my essentials for sure when putting a mix together.

The perfect present!
Stereo expansion is useful for me, he asked me to mix like a divine intervention, I love this plugin, to be used in each mix! I love him!
R. Kulikov
Amazing!
This is amazing! The way it adds life and ambience to any source, track or stem is just wonderful! It sounds so natural without a hint it was processed. Really handy tool to restore non perfect ad convertion as well

K-stereo Ambience recovery
It is the perfect pug-in for adding width without distorting the wave.
My mixes changed drastically after using the K-stereo.
The tracks are more defined and stereo enhanced.

This plug in adds great depth to your mixes without destroying the stereo image. The Mid Side processing is phenominal as it allows me to adjust mixes that were not pre-mastered properly. Overall, very sweet sounding.

Another UA plug I didn't know I needed...
When I was in college (20 years ago), I attended a lecture with engineer Francis Buckley, who said that he has never and would never run a signal through a piece of gear which processed a signal in a way he couldn't easily explain to someone or at least that he understood completely… yeah, to hell with that. While I don't know exactly what this does, I really, really like what it does (mixes get wider, clearer, more detailed and focused). It doesn't work on every mix I've done but it has brought it's fairy dust like magic to enough of them to more than justify it's cost. Very well done.

A can't do without plugin!
A can't do without plugin!
Put it on the master channel and widen your stereo souldfile.
It's the best wider effect plugin that I have ever known. It does not lose any middle and treble like all the others do. It just gets wider and thereby fatter.
