“WidthShaper is incredible! Being able to automate stereo width automatically and in time can create some serious mojo and contrast in synths or guitars!
John Nathaniel, Producer/Mixer/Songwriter (OneRepublic, Switchfoot, Kygo)
"
“I love this on uprisers! The expansion of the width will make sure that your build-up will sound really really huge and gets a lot of energy going.

Make your FX more interesting with R3SPAWN's selection of ShaperBox 2 tricks and techniques – including wider risers with WidthShaper 2.
“WidthShaper offers unprecedented control over the width of your tracks. You could draw in a specific shape to target the midrange of a snare on a certain beat, have a synth slowly swell over time, or pump the stereo width in time with the beat, while leaving the low-end untouched.
"
“WidthShaper can be used across genres and to liven up all sorts of signals. I cannot think of another plugin that gives such control over stereo width. WidthShaper is a unique stereo width control tool.

Videos show Widthshaper 1 – all techniques work in Widthshaper 2
Get tight mono bass
Lock in your low end by narrowing bass frequencies to mono – keep it tight, centred and solid
Widen your top end
Shimmering synths, sizzling hi-hats, glossy FX… Spread them across the treble with multiband widening
Expand your drums
Widen specific hits in mixed material using LFOs, envelope followers, and multiband targeting
Create super-stereo risers
Make your risers expand until they fill up the entire stereo field, for an exciting build-up to any drop.
Cableguys quality
Like all Cableguys plugins, WidthShaper 2 uses top-quality DSP, for seriously good sound that professionals rely on. Side-only mid/side operation means audio is always 100% mono-compatible. And our multiband crossovers use Linkwitz-Riley filters for a flat frequency response and zero latency.
LFOs that you design
From gradual expansion to rhythmic widening, any mid/side modulation you can imagine is only clicks away. Simply draw the exact LFO shape you need with Cableguys' easy editing tools. Lock LFOs to tempo with sample accuracy, or trigger any rhythm with MIDI notes.
Introducing Pens
New! Designing your dream widening LFO just got even easier with three powerful, easy-to-grasp Pens. Draw crisp lines, smooth arcs and flowing S-curves. Create subtle mid/side movement or wild stereo fluctuations. Switch back to classic single-node editing anytime.
Flexible envelope followers
New! Create widening effects that react to the dynamics of your beats, loops, melodies – anything. Expand snare transients to make them leap out of the speakers. Have a synth fill the soundstage as it grows in volume. Trigger widening from other tracks in your project using sidechain routing.
Multiband widening
WidthShaper 2 gives you a separate widening LFO and envelope follower for the lows, mids and highs. Add width only to frequencies that need it. Expand top-end air, widen mids, and make the bass mono for a super-solid bottom end. New! Steep 24dB crossovers join the classic 6 and 12dB models, for even greater precision.
