Level

Gets or sets the stereo widening amount. Controls how much the stereo image is expanded beyond the natural stereo width. Range: 0.0 (no widening, original stereo) to 1.0 (maximum widening). Typical values:

0.01-0.03: Subtle enhancement, natural sound (default: 0.01)
0.05-0.10: Moderate widening, noticeably spacious
0.15-0.30: Strong widening, very wide stereo
0.40+: Extreme widening, may sound unnatural

Lower values are recommended for most applications to maintain natural sound. Higher values can be used for special effects or very narrow recordings.
