In The Mix Bassmaker v1.0.2 for MacOS

About In The Mix Bassmaker

Bandwidth is Michael Wynne’s first independent plugin, released ahead of Bassmaker, and it tackles a problem most stereo wideners handle poorly: mono compatibility. Wynne, a Scottish mixing and mastering engineer better known for his In The Mix YouTube channel and its 1 million-plus subscribers, built this after years of teaching mix and mastering fundamentals and running into the same complaint over and over: wideners either collapse badly in mono, or they alter the original signal so much that the mix loses focus.

It’s built for anyone widening a stereo image without wanting to gamble on how it’ll sound once summed to mono, radio, club systems, phone speakers, plenty of playback still collapses to a single channel. Mix engineers finishing a master, producers trying to add space to a flat-sounding element, anyone who’s used a stereo widener before and gotten burned by phase cancellation are the obvious fits here.

The approach is what sets it apart. Instead of manipulating the existing stereo signal the way most wideners do, Bandwidth leaves the original untouched and adds new width on top of it, even on a mono source. That width only gets applied to the frequency bands you select, which is where the name comes from: it adds width to whichever band you point it at. The result, according to Wynne and early users, is a wider soundstage with genuinely solid mono compatibility, since the original signal was never altered in the first place. It runs zero-latency, which matters if you’re applying it during tracking or live monitoring rather than just at mixdown.

As Wynne’s first plugin, Bandwidth doesn’t have a long version history yet, but it launched alongside a real support structure: a 14-day free trial, lifetime license with free updates, and activation on up to 3 computers per license. It runs as AU and VST3 on macOS, including native Apple Silicon support, and it’s described by early users as CPU-light with more control on offer than the simple name suggests.
