SPREAD
NARROW OR WIDEN EACH BANDEach band runs from mono at 0% to original width at 100% and twice the side signal at 200%. Extra Width extends the maximum to four times the side signal.

How do I use it?
Insert Wav Spreader on a stereo track or bus. Set the four crossover frequencies, then adjust each band’s width. Try Mono Lows for a centred bass and wider upper bands. Use Mono to audition the mixdown, Bypass to compare, and Output to leave headroom. Use Overall Amount for a dry-to-processed blend. Extra Width increases only widening; narrowing still reaches mono.
What moves the wave display?
The paired waves follow side energy in the output. They come together for mono or silence and separate as the sound gets wider.
How do the meters work?
The vectorscope plots the left/right output as mid and side. Correlation runs from −1 (opposite polarity) through 0 (uncorrelated) to +1 (matching channels). The stereo image shows each processed band’s side energy and left/right balance. Negative correlation can indicate cancellation when summed to mono.
Does it create stereo from mono?
No. It adjusts the stereo information already in the signal. Mono stays mono. The Mono button lets you check the processed signal as a mono sum.
Does it change timing or level?
Neutral widths at 100%, Output at unity and Mono off pass the original waveform. Overall Amount at zero also restores dry audio. Active crossover processing rotates phase; widening can increase peaks. Leave headroom with Output.

How do the plugins communicate?
Enter an Instrument / track name below the controls. Low Standards plugin instances in the same DAW process share spectra and waveform analysis. Add the free LS Link companion to any other mixer track you want to see.
How do I compare instruments?
Use the same Session name on both tracks. In Rotation choose a Compare track to see its spectrum and overlap. In Pull Out choose a Kick waveform preview, then route the kick to the DAW sidechain separately if you want it to trigger ducking. Names and selections save with the project.
Does this require internet or change my audio?
Track analysis stays on your computer and needs no network connection. LS Link passes the original samples unchanged with zero added latency. Separately bridged plugin processes cannot discover each other. Match session names to separate projects.
