The Space Control created incredibly realistic, powerful stereo effects while keeping tracks mono-compatible. This plugin packs Hardwell and award-winning audio engineer Luca Pretolesi’s expertise into an all-in-one interface that will enhance your workflow and give your music a sensational, distinctive sound.

In the summer of 2021, during the production of his soon-to-be-released album Rebels Never Die, Hardwell and Luca started discussing their mutual passion for plugins. From these conversations grew the idea to work together to create a plugin of their own that would retain phase correlation, even while working with exceptionally wide tracks. The idea behind Space Control was born, and the rest is history.

Space Control is a streamlined multiband stereo enhancer featuring a unique phase limiter that enables users to widen the sound without the phase issues that typically occur. The plugin is extremely CPU-friendly in terms of its processing power.

Welcome to Space Control: the only stereo tool you’ll ever need.

In Hardwell’s own words:

"Space Control is a multiband stereo enhancer that includes a never-before-seen phase limiter, which makes sure you can widen your sound as much as you want without having the regular phase problems. This is the ultimate stereo tool and the only one that you will ever need."for the studio.”

Note: Space Control is not an Acqua Effects plugin, it belongs to a new category called Acqua Hybrid plugins, because it’s based on code written by third parties that was then integrated with Acqua technology and protections. As a result, you’ll find Space Control in your DAW under the “Studio DMI” developers’ category, not under “Acustica.”
