3D stereo, explained.
3D stereo changes width by separating left and right into a shared center signal and a difference signal. Sonic scales the difference and recombines them. This can spread stereo details outward or bring them toward the center.
Every parameter, explained
Width
0% to 250% · Default 160%Width ranges from 0 to 250%. At 0%, the first two channels are collapsed to their shared center. At 100%, their stereo balance is unchanged. Above 100%, differences are emphasized; the default is 160%.
A good place to start
Try 120–160% on a stereo recording with distinct left and right details. Compare with 100%, then listen in mono if your playback device allows it to check how the mix translates.
What to listen for
This cannot widen a mono recording because there is no left/right difference to amplify. Extreme width can emphasize phase differences and sound hollow. It does not create a surround or binaural scene; use 8D for moving left/right placement.
Why does the sample sound the same?
The built-in sample is mono. This effect needs a source with different left and right channels to change its width.
