Very handy.

This plug-in definitely helps with stereo imaging when you lack one. It saved the day when I had to master a high school production that was poorly recorded. It also does a nice job on spreading any mono source in mix.

Wow, a wonderful sound

I have been blown away before by UAD plugins but this takes the cake to a whole nother level as we say at DRPZyion records. This is simply amazing and makes your mixes and final mastering sound just like you had $20,000 mastering gear. Just amazing. If you don't believe me go to

then wait for the remixes to come out on this site

Ottimo.

Ho sfruttato a pieno le capacità di questo plug in in diversi lavori di mastering.
I risultati sono stati eccezionali.
La naturalezza e' incredibile, le potenzialità in m-s altrettanto.
Davvero indispensabile per ottenere un sound di alto livello....consiglio di verificare i suoi effetti in cuffia oltre che sulle casse siano esse sia near che far....

K-Stereo "NO BRAINER"

There are some tools that are simply a "NO BRAINER", K stereo is such a tool! If your asking yourself, Is this a plugin that I will get plenty of mileage out of, the answer is "YES"! think of it as a tyre that never loses tread! But don't take my word for it, activate the demo for yourself and you will find it enhances what is already there, be it a single instrument, a stem or a stereo track. Now i'm not saying you should use it on everything but it should be part of any serious engineers arsenal !!

Good, but not enough

Works perfect on everything, excepts drums, or any transient instruments. Kills the sound of it. So it's useless for mastering. On vocals, synths or anything else it's perfect.

Want to give space to track then go for it..
It is really good. Does something to track which sounds good.

Subtile and excellent

I love this plugin. Its so smooth. It gives my productions the final tough. I use it on vocals and guitars or in the mastering chain. It creates just that bit of space that's needed to make it sound like a 100K dollar production. I cannot do without anymore.

A skeptic’s two cents.

I have tried all the so-called “stereo widening” software and felt the trade-offs were to great to be used in mastering. When I was faced once again with some material that needed to be opened up I gave the K-Stereo a shot. All I can say is wow, this thing works. I have no idea how but it does a brilliant job of bringing out detail in the stereo field. Thank you Bob for a tool that, when needed, I can feel comfortable using on a clients project.

Test this thoroughly before buying and check under headphones.

Not sure about this, really. I bought it because I initially liked the effect on busses or the mastering chain. Though, the more I use it the more I tend to leave it off after A/B-ing.
It certainly does give wideness and a sort of depth perception, but it also changes a carefully crafted mix to a degree that I'm not sure I can tolerate: Transients and impulses on drums etc. seem to suffer from the typical stereo widener-effects. While this plug may initially seem wonderful, it just does the typical ms-delay on a stereo source like most others, albeit in a more sophisticated way. I might use this for sound design and fx, but not for a traditional music master that's elaborately done. This is too expansive for what it claims. Sorry, Katz.

Put a little life in your performances

I purchased the K-Stereo Ambience plug-in while working on a CD featuring a singer who wanted his performances to sound like they would in a live club setting. With the K-Stereo plug-in we were able to add just a touch of ambience/depth to achieve the feeling he was searching for. Thanks UA, this was just the right tool to have at just the right time.

very useful for mastering

Great, but limited to mastering tasks

Having used the Algorithmix version for 5 years, I am familiar with the use of this plug-in. It is designed to extract and/or enhance existing ambience from recordings, generally stereo mixes or stems. It does this job well. It does not do much for individual tracks, so only get it if you do mastering.
A/B'ing it with the Algorithmix, the Algo sounds better to me (probably due to the 80 bit calculation depth of the Algo). But the Algo is @ $1,000 US and has not been updated for 64 bit OS or Windows 7.
I admit the difference is subtle and not worth the extra $800 unless you are very discriminating.
Indispensable in a mastering engineer's arsenal.

A must for the mastering toolbox!

K Stereo is amazing for bringing life back to a mix during the mastering process or just getting that little extra polish on the master! Nothing else like it! Thank you UA and Mr. Katz!
