bryank: Using a 3D Pan plug is entirely different from using standard "3D mixing technique" that incorporates a standard pan control for the L/R aspect of the image, and uses conventional compression, EQ, reverb and delay to create a 3D mix.

.

to my understanding, this plug in uses hrtf........and allows you to not only pann left to right, but also up and down, and front to back. It doesnt give you any controls for reverb or compression....(although i suspect its in there, there just not showing it to you)...................

i tried it on a rock mix of mine last night......to where the lead guitar had a 400 ms delay effect on it.....and i used the 3D plug in on a buss with the delay effect and set it so the delays sound like they are coming out from behind you...............low and behold.....it worked (on headphones)! i played it on my car stereo.....and it didnt sound like it was coming from behind me...but it did separate the delays a lot from the things that were panned right and left and center...........it actually helped separate them from the mix so they were easily heard!

it was so cool..................

Nah, I really don't want to get into it because it'll dust up parts of several old, tired arguments that occur on these forums almost as regularly as Willie Nelson burns himself a rope: newbs vs. vets, home recording vs. pro results, gear vs. technique, blah blah blah. We're all tired of that crap, aren't we?

Let's just say that I see almost more of a dark side than a bright side in the existence of these tools. Not unlike that of the multi-band compressor. And let me just leave it at that, OK?

i hear ya.........theres not enough benifit to use such a process, to justify the over all outcome that probly will not be heard anyways.......becuase of listening environment.
