Imaging

Imager

Steinberg

Where to get itIncluded with Cubase. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.steinberg.net

Imager is a stereo imaging and width control plugin that allows independent adjustment of stereo character across up to 4 frequency bands. It splits your audio into defined frequency domains and lets you expand or reduce the stereo width of each band separately, with a choice between live-performance analog-style filtering or neutral linear-phase processing.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Up to 4 frequency bands with independent stereo width control
02Live mode with analog-style filter bank and zero latency
03Linear phase filter bank mode for neutral processing
04Width and Pan controls per band
05Phase scope display showing phase and amplitude relationship between stereo channels
06Phase correlation meters for mono/stereo analysis
07Solo and Activate/Deactivate controls per band
08Frequency display with draggable handles for band range and output level editing

Things to Try

  • 01Use Live mode for zero-latency stereo imaging during live performances
  • 02Drag frequency band handles in the spectrum display to adjust cutoff frequencies between bands
  • 03Monitor the phase scope display—a vertical line indicates perfect mono, a horizontal line indicates inverted phase, and a round shape indicates well-balanced stereo
  • 04Check the phase correlation meters below the phase scopes; +1 indicates both channels perfectly in phase, -1 indicates inverted channels
