how to make a song stereo

[utsman]

Hi Everyone.

I am new to cubase and recording and appreciate any help. I am using VST and have recorded some songs with guitar, vocals, bass etc, but they are always mono. How do I make them stereo? Can I choose which speaker guitar 1 and 2 will come from etc. I am a novice.

Bye for now.

to the left side of the track there's a button called "pan"... if it's not there, right click on the panel and choose "pan"... then you can set the stereo position of your track...
you can also add stereo delay using VST plugins... and stereo reverb to further enhance the sound...

If your soundcard allows it you could also feed it a stereo signal from the source.

ohhh.. btw... you can also use controller data and automation to change the pan position within the song, so it changes or fades to the left or the right...

Hey thanks guys.

I will see how I go. Mono songs remind me of my oldies ancient tunes.

from mono to stereo

Hi there,

A good way to start stereo recording is to experiment with with instrument panning instead of effect panning.

Getting started with good results:

Try to keep your bass guitar in the center,,, just like the lead vocals.

Try to record two guitarparts and pan them a bit. Like 30% one to the left and the other to the right. Panning is a good solution for two parts in the same spectrum interfering each other.

Good luck!
