In the world of music creation and sound design, the search for new ways to give sound depth, space, and presence is a constant pursuit. We strive for our tracks to not just play from speakers, but to envelop the listener, transporting them to a unique atmosphere. And that’s where freeOutsider comes in – a unique plugin from vescoFx, designed to revolutionize your sound transformation.
Discover a New Dimension of Sound with freeOutsider
freeOutsider is not your typical reverb or delay effect. It’s a specialized surround sound simulator, capable of taking any mono or stereo track and “turning it inside out” in the best sense of the word. Instead of the sound staying “in front”, freeOutsider creates the impression that the audio signal surrounds you from all sides, filling the entire space of the room.
What is freeOutsider?
Imagine a sound that’s not localized at two points (left and right speakers), but exists as if in the air around you. That’s exactly the effect freeOutsider helps to achieve. Its main function is to simulate a surround sound field using standard stereo outputs. This is achieved through complex processing algorithms that manipulate the phase, time, and amplitude of the signal, creating a psychoacoustic sense of space and envelopment.
How Does It Work?
Without getting into technical details, we can say that freeOutsider analyzes the incoming audio signal and applies specific spatial manipulations to it. It’s not a classic reverb that adds reflections from imaginary walls, nor is it a simple delay effect. The plugin works with the very character of the sound, “expanding” it and “distributing” it in space. It can make the sound wider than the stereo base or create the illusion that the sound source is behind or to the sides of the listener, even if your sound system consists of only two speakers.
Why Use freeOutsider?
There are many scenarios where freeOutsider can become an indispensable tool:
- For adding depth and space: Even “dry” recordings can get a new life, sounding more layered and voluminous.
- For mono tracks: freeOutsider is a great solution for adding space and width to mono instruments (vocals, guitar, synthesizer parts) that would otherwise sound flat in a stereo mix.
- Creating unique sound effects: Experiment with the settings to create surreal or atmospheric effects that will captivate the listener.
- Improving the mix: Using freeOutsider on individual tracks or groups can help “place” instruments in the mix’s space, improving its readability and overall perception.
- Simulating presence: Create the impression that the listener is in the center of the action, surrounded by sounds from all sides.
