There are a number of no-cost mid-side plugins available for download, so I can try this for free! Instead of patching an analog box (compressor, EQ, de-esser, etc) into an analog mixing console, a plugin is used to perform the same function in the digital domain. Plugins are software programs used in digital audio workstations for recording and mixing music. Well heck, I can do that! I use Jriver as my music server software ( ) and one of its cool features is the ability the use third-party VST plugins. He mentioned how he could replicate the QOL effect pretty closely with some basic mid-side processing. Then I ran across this post/review by Bruce Brown on his Pro-Audiophile forum:( Stereo Field Processing).

I even heard it at a friend’s house and could definitely tell that it was enhancing the soundstage of many (but not all) recordings. I’ve been reading with interest about the BSGT QOL Signal Completion Stage that has gathered rave reviews for the past year.
