Expand the boundaries of your stereo image with Precedence from Blue Lab Audio – an innovative Haas effect processor designed to give your audio tracks exceptional width, depth, and spatial presence. Precedence is your quick and effective way to make your mixes more voluminous and professional.
Haas Effect: The Key to Space
The Precedence plugin is based on the psychoacoustic principle of the Haas effect (precedence effect). This effect is based on how our hearing system locates sounds: the brain determines the direction from the first incoming sound impulse, integrating subsequent identical signals (within ~30 ms) as part of the same source, rather than as separate echoes.
Using a controlled delay between the left and right channels allows you to manipulate this perception mechanism, creating a compelling illusion of space, width, or mimicking multiple sound sources.
Precedence: Simplicity and Efficiency
Precedence makes applying the Haas effect easier than ever. The plugin offers precise control over the delay of a single channel, allowing you to easily shape the spatial perception of sound.

- Doubling Effect: Create a dense, rich sound by simulating doubling for vocals or solo instruments.
- Spatial Positioning: Help instruments find their place in the mix.
Key Benefits
- Intuitive and user-friendly interface.
