Tone Projects – Basslane Pro v1.0.4

Perfect low-frequency stereo sound and unique bass boost.

Basslane Pro

is the perfect tool for managing your stereo low-frequency system and creating impressive bass that translates across multiple formats and playback systems.

Basslane Pro combines transparent stereo width control with innovative solutions for preserving musical content that would otherwise be lost in a mono conversion. Basslane Pro offers advanced ways to increase width, richness, and low frequencies that go far beyond mono. The unique Stereo Harmonics feature allows you to add upper bass harmonics for clarity and controlled low-end width without the hassle of getting stereo information into subwoofers. The easy-to-use multi-band dynamics system, powered by our renowned Unisum compressor, makes it easy to control unruly transients or improve low-end performance and tightness.

Key Points

• Get the deep, wide bass that works on small speakers, vinyl records, and club systems.
• Eliminate phase and stereo issues in the low frequencies without compromising stereo imaging.
• Restore out-of-phase bass that would otherwise be lost when converted to mono.
• dd dimension and clear spatial coloration with unique stereo harmonics
• Tightly control the bass boost with an analog resonant high-pass filter and low-frequency focused peak limiter
• Use Unisum multi-way speakers for adaptive width control and beautiful bass response.
  

Key Features

Perfect Low-Frequency Stereo

A little stereo never hurt anyone, but it’s important to be aware of phase issues and excessive low-frequency width, especially when recording tracks on vinyl or in a club. Basslane Pro provides continuous and precise stereo width reduction or expansion in the low and mid frequencies, using high-precision linear phase processing to produce an undistorted stereo image. Basslane Pro also offers new solutions for preserving valuable musical content that is affected by width correction.

Mono Bass Without Losing Effect

Mono Recovery is a unique feature of Basslane Pro that allows you to preserve the out-of-phase low frequencies that typically occur with wide synth basses and heavily processed tracks. When playing in mono or using other processors for monophony, the level of these types of signals is significantly reduced or completely lost, resulting in an obvious lack of low frequencies. The mono signal recovery feature prevents this, allowing you to mix them again to get a bass that retains its sound even in mono.

Add Dimensionality with Stereo Harmonics

Basslane Pro offers a new way to increase the width and character of your sound. While keeping the lowest frequencies in mono, Basslane Pro allows you to add upper harmonics based on the low frequencies in mono and extend them. The result is a natural sounding stereo width that is musically tied to the bass, without the problems of stereo sound in subwoofers. With flexible controls that allow you to adjust the character and distribution of stereo harmonics, you can use stereo harmonics to boost the low frequencies so they sound good in small speakers, to add subtlety to them, or to create a clear spatial coloration.

Unisum-powered Dynamics

Basslane Pro’s Dynamics section features two multi-band versions of our famous Unisum mastering compressor, tailored to compress or expand only the frequency range you specify. Side mode lets you easily control overly dynamic side information or add dynamic stereo widening. Stereo mode is tuned to give the low end extra punch. With just a few basic controls, it’s surprisingly easy to use, yet sounds beautiful and helps you position the low end just right.
