Ancora
Stereo image correction
Wide is easy. Wide and mono-compatible is not. Ancora gives you both — precise correction where the spectrum actually needs it, no compromise on the parts that don't.
Two complementary modes: L/R for redistributing panning energy, M/S for active correlation control. Both fully frequency-dependent. RePhase compensates the phase energy that's normally lost when you narrow the side channel — across the full spectrum, not just one band. Level-independent: dial it in once, leave it across sessions. Ancora — Latin for anchor.
Features
Mono-safe by design
M/S mode actively controls correlation per band. The mix collapses gracefully.
RePhase
Ancora compensates for lost phase energy automatically. Bass keeps its weight.
Frequency-dependent
Tame wide cymbals without narrowing the vocal. Three curves (Depth, Timing, Target) target the problem precisely.
Vinyl preparation
Tightens low-frequency side content for cleaner vinyl cuts.
Two engines
L/R mode redistributes hot pans. M/S mode controls overall width.
Set. Save. Forget.
Level-independent. One setting holds across quiet verses, loud choruses, and even full album masters.
What users say
“His plugin really is the new standard for stereo correction.” — WhyGiacomo
“I have been testing this out on troublesome mixes for the last 2 days & I have to say that it is a total steal at this price. I have had every possible plugin aimed at the same task and this generates the best possible results.” — V PETERO
“Ancora is really useful on tracks too! I think it is very best at correcting stereo problems in overheads and room mics for drums. You can get more punch by narrowing all lows while keeping really wide picture for everything at mids and HF. Nice for correcting stereo field on really wide synths, overprocessed vocals… I really like it on reverbs also. And it works so delicate, unobtrusive and organic, every other tool looks really rough and straight.” — zvukofor
“It sounds very transparent, and I love how the GUI is implemented. […] It's a dream tool for mastering!” — Calagan
“Bought. Replaced […] on a few masters and prefer the results so far… Nice one!” — Old_Benno
“I've found that even using it on something in the mix that I thought was good, can give great results. It's still a wide, processed synth, but now it is more centered, stronger. Without really changing it. Really a very well done plugin. May seem like a boring correction tool, and I guess it is, but it's so much more than just that.” — djshiny
