How do you know any third-party substitute will work in your new DAW?
 
Of course, it probably will. But how do you know that? Well, you're able to make such an assumption because the plugin conforms to the VST specification. So does Channel Tools, so it's every bit as likely to work in your new DAW as any other stereo-imaging plugin you find.

I read the question differently. It has nothing to do with whether Channel Tools will work in another DAW or not.

MUtility is part of the free Melda Production bundle. I believe the license for the bundle is still on sale.
The PC module Panipulator by Boz Digital is a free VST too.


Thanks Steve. Will check them out.

Hey, Bruce.  If you're using SO check out the included Binaural Pan FX.  SO also includes Dual Pan

Channel Tools is great, but I'm one of the few who get bit by the loud "POP" issues reported on these here forums. It still hasn't been fixed, and now it never will. I can use two or three instances in a project. Beyond that, it blows up.

Wow - I didn't realise that Dan. I have only ever used one or two instances per project I guess. Good to know.

The SO Pro package is pretty extensive.  Hopefully one or both of those will work out for you.

Binaural Pan is exactly what I needed Bob. I am rapidly becoming enamoured with SO Pro!

Gosh, you're right!
 
I just assumed the OP was looking for a replacement because he was moving to a different DAW, because, well, Channel Tools is the best plugin of that type I've ever seen.
 
But maybe it's got a bug I don't know about. I haven't experienced any issues with it, and I routinely use a dozen or so instances in every project. It basically goes on every stereo track.
