DOUBLE O – Expand Your Stereo Image and Rhythmatize Your Sound!
Hello, musicians and sound experimenters! Looking for a simple but powerful way to add movement, rhythm, and width to your tracks? The DOUBLE O plugin from Robert Todd is exactly what you need. Forget about complex settings – this tool offers an intuitive approach to creating captivating stereo and dynamic effects.
What is DOUBLE O?
DOUBLE O is a unique VST effect designed to manipulate the stereo field and create rhythmic “chops” or smooth “fades” on your audio signal. Its main feature is the use of two completely independent LFOs (low-frequency oscillators), each of which works specifically with a separate channel: one for the left, the other for the right. This separate control opens the door to incredible possibilities.
How does it work?
Imagine two unconnected controllers that control the volume or panning of the left and right channels of your sound separately. This is the principle behind DOUBLE O. You adjust the shape, speed, and intensity of the LFO for the left channel independently of the LFO for the right. This independence allows you to create asymmetric effects that are impossible to achieve with regular stereo processors, where changes are applied symmetrically.
Creative possibilities of DOUBLE O
Thanks to its architecture, DOUBLE O becomes an extremely flexible tool for various creative tasks in your mix.
- Creating complex gate effects: Turn static sounds into pulsating rhythmic parts by applying different “chop” patterns to the left and right channels.
- Implementing interesting panning movements: Instead of simply moving the sound from side to side, create dynamic, independent “swings” for each channel, which will add a sense of space and movement to the track.
- Imitation of pseudo-arpeggios: By superimposing fast, asymmetric LFOs on sustain sounds (e.g., pads or guitar chords), you can create the illusion of an arpeggio or sequence, especially when using short “chops.”
- Expanding or adding “spice” to the stereo image: Use LFOs with different speeds or phases for the left and right channels to make the sound wider or give it an unpredictable, lively dynamic in the stereo field.
- Automation for liveliness: All plugin parameters can be fully automated in your DAW, allowing you to create time-varying effects that fit perfectly into the track structure.
Ease of use
Despite the depth of possible effects, DOUBLE O remains intuitive. Its simple interface allows you to quickly adjust the desired LFO parameters without unnecessary complications, making it accessible to both experienced sound engineers and beginners.
The DOUBLE O plugin from Robert Todd is not just an effect, it’s a tool for creative exploration of the stereo space and rhythmic structure of your audio signals. Download it today and discover new dimensions of sound in your projects!
