APL DUOPAN Tutorial with Audio Demos

Introducing APL DUOPAN — a new psychoacoustic panner designed to bring natural spatial depth and balance to your stereo mixes, optimised for headphone listening. Developed from our research at the Applied Psychoacoustics Lab (APL), DUOPAN goes beyond conventional panpots by offering a time and amplitude ratio control to create a more natural stereo image that translates beautifully over both headphones and speakers. It also offers spectral features like Dual-Band and Shadow controls for precise spectral shaping and binaural-like imaging. DUOPAN lets you sculpt width, depth, and localisation with creativity and precision. In this video, you’ll learn about the main features of DUOPAN and hear a series of audio demos showing how it adds a new dimension to panning, and corrects stereo imbalance issues that are impossible to fix with a conventional panpot.

DUOPAN is available in AAX, VST3 and AU plugins. Try it free for 14 days.
