Imager is a VST plugin used for stereo imaging, allowing users to manipulate sound by altering the width and depth of the stereo field.
Imager VST plugin is a fantastic tool for stereo audio stream re-imaging - and the best part is, it's completely free! One of the best approaches to understand the three parameter tweaks is by looking at it as if you have a pair of microphones set up in a 90-degree angle like in Blumlein stereo recordings.
Imager offers a great way to manipulate the microphone orientation after a recording has been made. The three parameters in focus here include the "zoom" and "direction" which adjust the "angle" of the microphones. Interestingly, -1 fully points the microphones towards each other creating a mono sound while +1 places both microphones pointing in the set "zoom direction" resulting in an impactful mono sound.
Lastly, Imager's "rotation" feature is the perfect addition to turn the microphone stand to the desired angle. Overall, Imager is a must-have VST plugin for re-imaging stereo sound recordings.
