# Panorama Audio Labs > Mastering Tools Built for Real-World Mastering Solutions ## Posts - [I almost deleted this feature](https://panoramalabs.com.au/i-almost-deleted-this-feature/): How a stereo-width function became a lesson in correlation, quadrature and mastering-grade restraint. Panoramic is a mastering-grade stereo image processor. So every DSP decision had to be placed around the mantra of “do-no-harm”. Especially because mixes that come into master MUST BE RESPECTED. When it comes to the stereo image, the slightest offence can make the master crumble and leave clients angry.One common theme though is a client coming in with a mix and a reference. The mix is narrow, the reference is WIDE.The mix only has limited side-signal information, maybe some instrument reverb or panned percussion, but THAT IS IT. […] - [Inside Panoramic: How the Signal Flow Shapes Your Stereo Image](https://panoramalabs.com.au/inside-panoramic-how-the-signal-flow-shapes-your-stereo-image/): This is the roadmap of [PANORAMIC]. Read this to understand the why, what, and how of what happens under the hood! So from the get-go, the signal is split into mid-side and enters a 3-way switch: [OFF], [ELIPTICAL PRE], [ELIPTICAL POST] By default, the [ELIPTICAL] filter is [OFF], but if you want to, you can elect to mono-the low frequencies.[PRE] – If the elliptical filter is in [PRE], low frequencies won’t affect dynamics processing or saturation in the plugin.[POST] – If the elliptical filter is in [POST], the low frequencies will impact the way dynamics and saturation are created.I like this […] - [PANORAMIC CONCEPT: A Mastering Grade Stereo Field Processor](https://panoramalabs.com.au/building-panoramic-mastering-grade-stereo-field-processor-mastering/): The original concept for Panoramic began three years ago, when I asked myself, “Can I build a stereo image mastering plugin better than what’s out there?” That question became the project’s core thesis. The Stereo image and mastering How we perceive, localize, and distinguish stereo information is directly determined by the interaural time differences. Many stereo image processors introduce time-domain delays between the left and right channels that exploit these psychoacoustic principles. This is not suitable for mastering applications, as independent time-domain changes between the left and right channels decorrelate the two channels’ phases, destroying the center image, its presence, and […] ## Pages - [License Activation](https://panoramalabs.com.au/support/activate-license/): 1.

This is particularly useful when you’d like to gain into the processors to hit the character or density modules with more signal. You can also adjust the wet-dry mix of the processor from 0% to 200%. This serves as a good global control in both directions to scale your processing without adjusting each parameter individually. - [Processors](https://panoramalabs.com.au/manual/processors/): Processors Panoramic uses four main processors on the stereo side field: Width, Density, Character, and Air. Width Width adjusts side level by +/-12 dB. In PRL mode, it contributes a width-adjusted side branch alongside Density, Character, and Air. In SRL mode, it scales the summed side path after the module contributions and parallel summing. The benefit of this is that, in parallel [PRL], you can use it independently of the processing you apply with Density, Character, and Air. In serial [SRL], you can use it to fully control the processed width signal after summing the other three modules. Density The density […] - [The PANORAMIC Concept](https://panoramalabs.com.au/manual/overview/): The PANORAMIC Concept Manipulating the stereo image in mastering is tricky; most stereo image processors use time-based delays between the left and right signal or discrete phase manipulation, creating significant changes in interaural differences but lacking mono compatibility and often altering the sound of a mix to the point where it no longer resembles the original mix. Most mastering engineers avoid stereo-image processors because of this. They will fall back on several microprocessors to manipulate the mid-side signal, often phase-aware, customizable in their interactions, and respectful of the mix’s integrity. These microprocessors and good DSP design, with mastering in mind, are […] - [Menu Bars](https://panoramalabs.com.au/manual/interface/): Menu Bars Tool Tips “?” Click the “?” near the preset finder to enable tool tips.

This is achieved through a topology of four parallel processors, enabling the engineer to adjust width, density, character, and air of the stereo image. Each module is designed with mastering in mind, and all modules and their respective processing maintain the mix’s mono-signal integrity perfectly intact. Unique routing also gives engineers flexibility in manipulating the signal through Aperture, making it a versatile option that can adapt to various source materials as needed. - [Getting Started](https://panoramalabs.com.au/manual/getting-started/): Getting Started Install & Authorize Run the .pkg installer downloaded from your user account.
