Open Wide

Open Wide by Cloudy Samples is a boutique stereo manipulation and mastering processor designed to shape the spatial architecture of your sound with exceptional precision. Built around a clean, industrial-style interface, it brings professional stereo management into a streamlined workflow through five high-fidelity processing modules. Whether you're widening synths, enhancing instrument buses, or tightening the low end of a full master, Open Wide delivers detailed control over stereo width while maintaining excellent phase coherence and transparency.

The Mid/Side Matrix separates incoming audio into Mid (mono) and Side (stereo) channels, allowing you to independently adjust the center and stereo information. Fine-tune the width of your mix by balancing the Mid and Side levels, while the dedicated Side High Pass filter removes unnecessary low-frequency stereo content for improved phase stability and a cleaner stereo image.

The Haas+ Split module takes advantage of the Haas Effect by introducing subtle delays between the left and right channels, creating the perception of a much wider stereo field. An integrated High Pass filter ensures that only the appropriate frequency range is affected, keeping the bass focused and powerful.

Micro-Pitch Shift recreates the classic hardware-style stereo enhancement technique by applying gentle pitch detuning and micro-delays to the left and right channels. The result is a rich, spacious sound with subtle chorus-like movement. Its built-in High Pass filter keeps the processing focused on the mid and high frequencies, preserving a tight and controlled low end.

The Frequency Split module generates stereo width by dividing the frequency spectrum into multiple bands and distributing them across the stereo field. Using the Intensity (Dir) and Reso (Q) controls, you can create natural stereo expansion from mono sources while maintaining clarity. A dedicated High Pass control further protects the low frequencies from unwanted stereo artifacts.

Mono Bass provides complete control over your low-frequency foundation by summing everything below a selectable crossover point into perfectly centered mono. A precision Low Pass filter and a hardware-inspired Full Mono switch make it easy to create club-ready, phase-safe mixes with a solid and focused bass response.

Whether you're mastering a track, enhancing individual instruments, or creating immersive stereo effects, Open Wide offers a complete suite of professional stereo processing tools. Its transparent processing, intuitive controls, and broad compatibility make it a valuable addition to any modern production or mastering workflow.
