360Pro v1.10 – Added mid/side
Hey Patrons!
360Pro 1.10 is here.
This update adds Mid and Side as routing options, and I have also changed the default settings to better reflect how most people seem to prefer using 360Pro.
Originally, 360Pro was not intended to be a magic stereo widener. That was more of a useful side effect. Its main purpose was to let you adjust phase relationships while mixing, helping instruments sit together without creating unwanted phase issues.
But since its release, most of the feedback I have received has been about something else: the sense of depth and three-dimensionality it can create in mastering.
Analogue equipment naturally introduces tiny phase differences between the left and right channels, or between Mid and Side. Those small differences can contribute to a sense of depth that is often difficult to recreate in the digital domain. Even when using several hardware emulations, something can still feel missing. The result may be wider or warmer, but it does not always have the same sense of space and shine.
That seems to be where 360Pro has found its place.
The new default settings are set up to demonstrate this stereo-depth approach straight away. I should probably start adding presets to my plugins as well. Adding that to the list.
Enjoy 360Pro 1.10!

About
360Pro is a phase-based stereo shaping plugin designed to add width and space without using reverb, chorus, or other traditional stereo effects (it can also be used for other phase-rotation tasks).
It works purely with phase rotation, making it ideal for opening up mono sources such as vocals, synths, and instruments while staying clean, focused, and mono-compatible when used correctly.
By applying phase changes to only the left or right channel, you can shape stereo width in a controlled and transparent way. 360Pro can also be used for more traditional phase correction tasks, such as fixing phase problems in multi-miked instrument recordings, aligning elements, or cleaning up spatial conflicts without touching EQ or dynamics.
360Pro is currently available as a Mix version, focused on fast, intuitive, and creative phase shaping.
Jump to around 15 minutes to hear it used in an extreme mix context. The mix is deliberately limited to DMG Limitless as the only channel strip (!) on every track, with 25–30 instances of 360Pro across a 40-channel session, to keep decisions fast and avoid overworking individual channels.
