Thread Starter | Spatial Expander? Hello, A few questions I though someone might be able to answer... Do people think these are worth it? What exactly do they do? Is a chorus plug-in just as good? Thanks! |

| Who is Soeone? You might want to ask him instead of posting here..  Seriously though...A Spacial Expander is a new immediacy measure, representing the imminence of collision between an object and a moving observer. A diffusion process on the image domain, whose initial condition is determined by the motion field normal to the object's boundary, is shown to converge asymptotically to the immediacy measure. A network of locally connected neurons, derived from a finite-difference approximation of the diffusion equation, estimates the immediacy measure from normal velocity and boundary information provided by layers of motion measurement and segmentation cells. I can easily demonstrate the network's performance on real image sequences. I definitely do not think you can accomplish the same thing with a Chorus plug-in... Quote:

| I think you may also be refering to what is called a Spatial Widener or a "width" control on some verbs/other things.... Basically what you are doing is manipulating phase and delays (Haas Effect) to widen your stereo image "beyond" hardpanned left/right... It can be kind of cool but when you go to far and sum it to mono you lose a lot of whats far out there... often guitars... Lots of mid-level metal albums do this to get that huge guitar sound... try flipping one into mono and seeing what disappears... Some people don't care about mono, some people do.... its up to you... I think Waves makes a pretty good "Widener" plugin... but other plugs/boxes will do it for you as well... Its like dancing with the devil... you must be careful padawan. |
