In music production, there are many different ways to achieve the "same" result — using different recording techniques to capture the sound, processing with different plug-ins and signal chains, and more.
Of course, the end result is rarely — if ever — exactly the same. But how reliably can you tell the difference? And how confidently can you pick a preference? In our new series of videos, we've put these questions to the test using plug-ins from our Focus and NUtility Toolkit bundles.
For the first clip, we recorded an improvised piano performance in both stereo and mono, and then created pseudo stereo versions of the mono recording using Stereoizer and Stereoplacer. Finally, we ran a blind test using AB Assist 2 in order to figure out whether an impartial adjudicator could reliably pick their favourite between the true stereo recording, the Stereoizer version and the Stereoplacer version.
Check out what happened...
