Ozone Imager 2 [portable] -

It is very easy to overdo stereo widening. Pushing the width to 150% might sound massive in headphones, but it can utterly destroy the phase coherence of your mix. Trust your correlation meter and keep it as close to +1 as possible.

Ozone Imager 2 is a free audio plugin (VST, VST3, AU, AAX) designed to control and manipulate the stereo field of a sound. It is not a "trial" or "lite" version of a paid product; it is a fully functional, standalone tool that iZotope offers for free.

: A newer algorithm designed to preserve transients and maintain better mono compatibility. ozone imager 2

: The core parameter scales from -100 to 100 . Setting the slider to negative values collapses the stereo image toward mono. Setting it to positive values expands the existing side-channel information to increase perceived width.

: Provides a detailed look at the left and right channel balance. It is very easy to overdo stereo widening

A smoother, more transparent mode that adds width to mono tracks without creating significant phase issues or artifacts.

at a high resolution, local governments can issue more accurate air quality indexes (AQI), helping vulnerable populations protect themselves from respiratory distress. Ozone Imager 2 is a free audio plugin

modes—Polar Sample, Polar Level, and Lissajous—alongside a Correlation Meter

: Introduced with the V2 update, this mode is a significant leap forward in transparent stereo synthesis. Stereoize II creates width by manipulating the harmonic content of the side signal. The result is a smooth, natural-sounding stereo image that avoids the phasey artifacts sometimes associated with stereo-widening techniques. It is ideal for delicate sources like solo acoustic guitar, piano, or a lead vocal where a sense of space is desired but the natural character of the sound must remain intact.
