Leaky2 will let you leak, move, or replace part of the spectrum from the left, right, sum (mid), or difference (side) to a choice of the same. Leaky and Leaky2 were Initially made to handle phase cancelation problems while mastering but as features have been added and the creativity among our users has shown that’s just one of many cases where Leaky2 can come in handy. REMEMBER: Taking the track back to the mix should always be your number one choice, fiddle with phase during mastering will always have consequences!
Examples of situations where Leaky can be useful:
- Some instrument or part of a mix is out of phase, both while mixing and mastering
- Leak the diff/side into the sum/mid to enhance the reverb when listening in mono
- Most of the atmosphere of the track is placed on the side and gets lost while in mono.
- Upmix mono content to stereo
- Liftback some of the choir to the center channel without losing width
