Airwall: Expanding the Stereo Field for Professional Sound
Airwall by SYNTHEDIT LABO JAPAN is a specialized VST effect designed for high-precision manipulation of the width and depth of your audio’s stereo field. In modern sound production, control over the stereo image is critical for creating voluminous, clear, and professional mixes. Airwall offers an intuitive yet powerful approach.
This plugin allows you to not just expand the sound, but also give it a special character and scale, making it indispensable for both mixing and final mastering.
Why is effective stereo image control needed?
A balanced stereo image is the key to mixes that sound wide and have depth. It helps to clearly place instruments, reducing conflicts and improving the readability of the mix. Using a stereo imager like Airwall allows you to go beyond panning, adding impressive volume and space to tracks.
Key Features of Airwall for Space Modeling
Airwall provides the necessary tools for precise control:
- Stereo Expand Control: Easy expansion/narrowing of the stereo image. Ideal for “airy” or immersive sounds.
- Stereo Distance Control: Adjusting the sense of distance in the stereo field. Adds depth.
- Correct Low Freq with Phase Adjust: Important for bass. Maintains mono compatibility and low-end density, expanding the upper/mid frequencies without phase problems. Critical for quality mastering.
- Seamless ON / OFF Comparison: Instant effect comparison without artifacts for objective evaluation.
Applying Airwall in Your Studio
- On individual tracks: Add volume to synthesizer pads, create a “wall of sound” for guitars, expand backing vocals, or add space to overheads.
- On group buses: Process groups of instruments (strings, vocals, etc.) for better stereo positioning.
- On the master bus: Use as the final touch to add overall volume, space, and a sense of presence.
