“Any stereo audio can benefit greatly from BiG’s effect.”
In the current edition (January 2023) of Mix Magazine, you can find a review about our 500 Series module for stereo stage processing – the SPL BiG. Here we provide a short summary.
“SPL’s BiG is a dual-slot, 500 series stereo analog module that manipulates the stereo sound image, or stage. When used judiciously, the stereo width, presence and depth can be altered while maintaining accuracy and overall mix balance.”
In practice:
“I found that juggling the Range and Bigness controls to dial in just the right balance worked great.”
“I kept the AirBass EQ on all the time and soon found that there is no wrong or bad way to set BiG exept for maybe using way too much of its effect! Generally, the Bigness control only has to be about midway between off and straight up at 12 noon to hear massive changes in the stereo imaging.”
Conclusion:
“SPL’s BiG provides a good way to expand the stereo imaging of entire mixed tracks, individual stereo instrument and vocal tracks, or stems.”
“Carefully used, it can work wonders on non-correlated stereo audio and is magical!”
“Highly recommended. I love it!”
