how to mix your beat stereo

[zebra]

hello
I sample with a akai s 950
since now I make my beats mono.
I record them mono too.
Now that I'm going to mix songs, I was thinking to mix my beats stereo! so I just get onother sampler . Will that make your music better?
and what is the best way to do this

peace out zebra

hi

hmm beats in mono...so no use of pan or phase shift...in stereo you can apply that per channel and get some interesting stuff going for ya mix. i started mixing in low output level recently and seen an inprovement in my work..maybe it works for you too.
all your beat material comes from a sampler,i would worry bout that cause of the sound being way too 'plastic',nothing from a sampler ever sounded good to me,unless it has some heavy processing on it. Compressing, reverb and pre-reverb mainly take a lot of time to fall in place, and then there EQ...and for that i started mixing 15 minutes and having a 5 minutes break then listening to something else in low volume and going back at it.
Go stereo ..i'm going 5.1 these days for DVD production.
