SideHustle v1.0

Stereo Width & Imaging Processor

Overview

SideHustle gives you safe, instant control over stereo width. Pick from three modes – Normal, Wide, or Wider – and keep your mix balanced without the hassle of mid/side processing.

No rules, ratios, or phase worries – just natural, musical width that stays mono-compatible. Newcomers get easy results, pros get a fast way to shape the stereo field before fine-tuning.

Need space from a mono source? Flip on Stereoize to generate realistic sides with a smooth, mono-safe curve.
