The PS22 Stereo Maker Black Friday deal from Waves brings this stereo width plugin to $29.99, 69% off, until Nov 26, 2026.
PS22 Stereo Maker is a stereo synthesis and imaging toolbox. It takes mono material and gives it a stereo image, and it can also widen or narrow sources that are already stereo.
The maker says the process avoids the artificial, "phasey" sound that older stereo synthesis tricks are known for.
The maker's pitch is new life for mono sources: guitar, electric piano, analog synthesizers and mono LPs. Vintage mono hardware effects can get a modern stereo image too.
It works in the other direction as well. You can widen a stereo image, or narrow it, including narrowing only selected frequency ranges when a stereo track is overly wide. Waves lists vinyl mastering as one use for the narrowing side.
That mono compatibility is the one to care about if your track might get summed down. The signal folds back to mono without the comb-filtered hollowness that fake stereo often leaves behind.
The headroom feature works on the waveform itself. By making peaks more symmetrical, it can free up level before you hit the ceiling on a bus or the master.
Parameters can be automated, so the maker also points to sound design uses, not just mix fixes.
The PS22 Stereo Maker VST and its other formats run on both platforms:
Waves also describes the plugin as one with more creative stereo synthesis options than any other tool of its kind. That is the maker's claim, and the feature list above is what it points to.
Yes. The PS22 Stereo Maker Black Friday deal takes 69% off, bringing the Waves plugin to $29.99. The offer runs until Nov 26, 2026.
It converts mono sources like guitar, electric piano, analog synths and mono LPs into a rich stereo image. It can also widen stereo tracks or narrow selected frequency ranges, and the maker says it collapses back to mono without phasey artifacts.
On Mac it ships as VST, AU and AAX, running on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. On Windows 10 and later you get VST and AAX.
Yes. You can narrow selected frequency ranges when stereo audio is overly wide, which Waves ties to vinyl mastering. You can also spread a signal gently or split it for dramatic separation, and automate parameters for sound design.
