Why it exists
multiband stereo imager
Wideners are how mixes die in the club: gorgeous in headphones, hollow the moment the system sums to mono, with a low end smeared across the field.
EXPANSE widens per band, keeps the bass anchored dead-center, and puts a vectorscope and correlation meter right where you're working — so the width you print is width you can actually ship.
In the session
- 01Widen the highs while the bass stays anchored in mono.
- 02Watch correlation on the loudest chorus.
- 03Fold to mono and keep the mix intact.
- 04Check width on the vectorscope, not on vibes.

Straight answers
Before you run EXPANSE.
Which DAWs does EXPANSE work in?
Pro Tools (AAX); Logic Pro and GarageBand (AU, macOS); Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One and Reaper (VST3). It ships as VST3, AU, AAX on macOS and Windows. The install guide covers where each format lands and how to rescan if a host doesn't see it.
What are the system requirements?
macOS: macOS 11+ · Apple Silicon + Intel (Universal). Windows: Windows 10/11 · 64-bit · VST3 + AAX. Licensing is iLok; no USB dongle is required.
Does EXPANSE add latency?
Where the engine needs lookahead or oversampling, EXPANSE reports its latency to your DAW, which compensates automatically, so it stays in time with the rest of the session. On a live input, check your host's low-latency or monitoring mode.
Can I try EXPANSE before buying?
Yes, through the subscription: the 7-day trial covers every unit, EXPANSE included, with nothing charged until it ends. Individual plugins and bundles don't have separate trials.
Do I need an iLok dongle?
No. The license lives on your iLok account and can be activated to your computer, to iLok Cloud, or to a USB key — your choice.
How do I install it?
Through the Echelon Audio Hub: sign in once, and it installs, updates and rolls back every unit you own or subscribe to.
Are updates free?
Yes. A perpetual EXPANSE license includes every update to EXPANSE; subscribers get updates and every new unit as it lands.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Perpetual licenses have a 7-day refund window from purchase, as long as the license is surrendered from your iLok account. On the subscription, cancelling inside the trial means you pay nothing. If something is broken and support can't fix it, we'll make it right regardless.
