Enhancing the stereo image/width with free audio plugins for Linux

- Many productions are mixed "larger than life".
- Mono instruments panned extremely may "pull" on your other ear.
- Super low frequencies are tighter when in mono.

All these aspects can be addressed with free plugins in the Master Bus:

1) "Larger than life" & "Don't pull on my ears":
- Use CALF EQ, Vintage Delay and Stereo Tools inside Carla as shown in
  this screenshot. You can use cascaded buses in your DAW as well if you
  don't use Carla.

2) "Larger than life" & "Low frequencies in mono":
- Use CALF Multiband Enhancer as shown in this screenshot.

Both setups can be combined. You'll hear it when it's too much.

Here is an example: a riff that's played
- unprocessed
- then with 1)
- then with 1) and 2) combined.
