4-band stereo imager
Set the width of four bands, keep the bass mono and add width to narrow sounds. A vectorscope and a correlation meter show if your mix still works in mono.
Ableton Live 12 Suite, or Live 12 Standard with Max for Live. Windows and macOS.
Split your sound into four bands with draggable crossovers and set the width of each one from mono to 200 %. Mono bass keeps everything below a chosen frequency in the centre, Stereoize makes narrow sounds wider without phase problems. Keep an eye on the correlation meter: it should stay on the right side.
