Want Effervescent Sounds? Time to Get Bubbly with Carbonated Audio

Here’s something sure to perk up your mixes. Carbonated Audio has introduced POUR, a new Mid/Side stereo imager designed for producers who need tighter, wider, and more controlled mixes that translate on-air, online, and in mono playback.  And Robert is here to give you the lowdown.

As the fourth plugin in the Carbonated Audio lineup—joining Carbonator (saturation), De-Sipper (de-esser), and On Tap (sidechain ducker)—POUR brings advanced stereo shaping tools tailored for modern production workflows.

Inspired by the SSL Fusion Stereo Image hardware and Alan Blumlein’s classic stereo shuffling concept, POUR gives imaging producers precise control over low-end width, center focus, and stereo movement without sacrificing mono compatibility.

Here’s what radio imagers are going to love:

Shuffle + Space
Tighten or widen low frequencies between 40–400 Hz for stronger, cleaner low-end impact. (more…)

What’s in the Video

In this video, you’ll see me in action recording inside a machine shop, using these devices to capture unique textures, from electromagnetic field tones to the raw resonance of industrial machines. I’ll walk you through how these tools work and show how they can open up new creative possibilities for cinematic sound design. (more…)
