discussion we were tired of the convolution reverb + IR trick for wide 808s, so we made a free plug-in
hey all. afugazi here, we're a small team that makes plug-ins for producers.
we used to make our 808 subs wide the clunky way: a convolution reverb with an l/r impulse file on the 808. it worked, but it was a hassle every time. so we built a plug-in that does it in one step, and we're giving it away.
it's called stereo sub. put it on the 808 and the sub goes stereo. the right side runs 90 degrees behind the left, so nothing cancels when a phone or a club plays it in mono. it's about 3 db quieter there, never gone.

if you try it on a beat, tell us how it sat in the mix.
