Panoramic is a mastering-grade stereo field plugin that utilises a four-part parallel processor designed to enhance stereo depth and energy without relying on fragile phase tricks or delay-based widening.
Surrounding the four core processors are advanced feature sets that allow you to develop more nuanced sonic characteristics for the stereo image in mastering.
Mixes retain their mono integrity and compatibility.
Transient information stays intact and does not lose power.
Phase coherency stays intact.

Feature List
WIDTH
Adjust the Width of a signal in parallel [PRL], or use it as a post-control [SRL] for the processed stereo image.
DENSITY
Density blends parallel compression into the Side signal only, helping lift low-level detail in the stereo field.
CHARACTER
Character blends odd-order harmonic saturation into the Side signal to add weight and energy to the stereo field.
STEAL
Use [STEAL] to derive harmonics from the Mid channel and introduce them into the stereo image for additional depth.
AIR
Blend excited high frequencies into the stereo field for additional brilliance and presence.
DS
[DS] is a high-frequency dynamic EQ for managing excessive high-frequency energy in the stereo field. It is particularly useful for splashy cymbals or sibilant vocals within a mix.
ELLIPTICAL
Implement the Elliptical filter before [PRE] or after [POST] processing to mono the low frequencies in a mix.
PRE ELLIPTICAL
Prevents low frequencies from affecting the Width, Density, Character and Air modules. Use this for a cleaner result.
POST ELLIPTICAL
Allows low frequencies to interact with the core modules before being folded into mono.

Panoramic is becoming a “go-to” solution for me for subtle width adjustments in the mastering process since it has a few different ways to spice up the sides in a sensible way, intuitive design and very useful tool!

The abundance of stereo imagers that smear your transients and destroy mono compatibility has always made me angry. THIS thing is a very different beast. Its parallel implementation is smart. Panoramic FINISHES the mix: wide, exciting, and still technically clean. It quickly became a staple in my mastering chain and on my mixbus, replacing the 2-3 parallel chains I used before

The most useful stereo imaging tool I have ever used.
Everything you want on the one faceplate. Perfect for mastering duties.
Just enough dials for tweaking, but not too many to get lost in the weeds. I’m a fan

Panoramic is wicked. It’s replaced two or three plugins I was previously using in tandem—and delivers the same result on steroids

When I’m choosing studio tools, I want something quick and obvious that doesn’t cost me anything in quality. Panoramic clears that bar and helps me get mixes that are bigger and more lifelike, without the wasted moves

Panoramic is such an incredible tool. It creates width without the phasey exaggerated artifacts that most wideners introduce. The result is spacious, believable, and incredibly easy to fit into a mix. Background vocals are where Panoramic really shines for me. It makes a vocal stack feel larger while preserving the center and the tone. That’s a much harder trick to pull off than people realize.

Innovative. One of the very few plugins in quite a while that isn’t a rehash, remake, or slight repurposing of something we already had 5 other versions of. I’ve trusted the designer of this plugin to master my records for years. It’s obvious when I use this plugin it was made with good ears.

Panoramic hasn’t lost a close-eyed test yet. When I mix I rely a lot on instinct and feeling. I close my eyes a lot and just listen. I close my eyes, turn some knobs or sliders, listen to hear if I like what Im hearing, in both mono and stereo, then decide if Im keeping it before moving on. It’s definitely staying in my Plug in toolbox!

It’s like ear candy. Panoramic adds width, character, and brightness in a subtle, tasteful way. Try it on the mixbus, background vocals, guitars… anything really!

Panoramic has quickly become one of my go-to stereo processing plugins. It delivers impressive stereo width while maintaining a solid, focused center image and excellent phase integrity. It’s one of those tools that consistently gives me the results I’m looking for.
Noah Cronin
Grammy-Nominated Mixing Engineer – Collie Buddz, House of Shem
This widener is the most transparent and useful out of all my widening plugins, feels capable of achieving what more analog-type wideners achieve, but with more calculation and fewer random unknowns regarding signal processing. It’s as subtle as you would want and drastic as you want. A big trustworthy win for Mix Bus & Stems.
