Sorry for the forum "noise"... I ended up going for the Musician 2 bundle instead. On sale. $49.95 after being added to the cart.

Here's a favorable write up from 2007.

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan07/a ... n_0107.htm

I think I already have the PSP Stereo Pack, priced the same if you don't qualify for an additional discount. Has anyone compared the two besides SOS?

I don't see that it would do anything that I can't accomplish in Ozone. The controls are laid out more simply. Hmmmm... I think I'll save my $49 for something more deserving.

Yep. I did, too. What can I tell you? I had some $$ "burning a hole in my pocket" as my dad used to like to tell me when I was a kid and I blew my allowance first day I got it! I ended up getting the Musician 2 bundle for $49 instead. Couldn't help myself. I'll have to keep using BT Stereo Imager for now.

Not sure how much better S1 would be anyway. It's very long in tooth.

I love the S1 bundle. There are three plugins, if I recall correctly, and one has a special function: you can "tilt" the mix. You can move the center and edges separately with a tilting pointer. Very intuitive, very quick, very effective. I've used four or five stereo imagers, but I always go back to the S1 bundle. It just does what I want.
