Haas effect is a micro-delay applied to either the left or right channel of audio (but not both). This simple effect creates a realistic and natural-sounding increase in the width of the stereo field that still sounds good when mixed back to mono. It is the most simple and effective way to take a mono input and make it sound like stereo. But Haas effect has some problems. First, it can create phase cancellation problems in the bass frequencies, causing them to loose volume. Second, it can sound a bit artificial at high frequencies. This multi-band Haas effect plugin is a simple way to get the stereo width you need in the midrange frequencies without loosing the impact of the bass or making the treble sound phasey. You select any number from one to four bands, each with its own separate Haas delay setting and adjustable crossover frequencies. This makes mono audio sound wide and spacious while preserving the original tone and spectrum transparently.

Read full description

A simple but straightforward phaser audio effect to give you that nice retro feel. Unlike the SimplyFlange effect that is also available, this filter does not involve any delay buffer. Rather, it uses a string of all-pass filters to generate out-of-phase copies of the input signal. These are mixed together to produce the classic phasing effect. The filter lives in an AUv3 app extension so it is available for use in any host app that supports AudioUnit components such as AUM or Cubasis or GarageBand. You can also experiment with the audio effect directly in this app.
