Raising Jake Studios BIG (Producto digital)

Binaural Image Generator for Mono and Stereo Sources

BIG is a stereo imaging plug-in from Raising Jake Studios. It generates a pseudo-stereo image from mono sources or adds aura to stereo sources, using a combination of cross-fed micro-pitch shifting and Haas delays.

How BIG Works

Two high-quality micro-pitch shifters generate complementary pitch shifts for the left and right channels. This enhances the stereo image while reducing the comb filtering that can occur with simple stereo delay spreading. Hi Cut and Lo Cut filters control the frequency range of the generated signals to further improve the transparency and effectiveness of the processing.

Where to Use It

BIG can be used on mono-to-stereo tracks in DAWs that support mono-to-stereo plug-ins, on stereo buses, on instrument tracks and buses, and on vocal tracks. It comes with a basic set of presets that work well in many situations and can be used as they are or modified as desired.
