Hello, mix gurus.

Got a small problem... I've got a loop in a mix for a client, which is full of instrumentation.

Strings, Guitar, Bass, and drums... all in one sample.

My problem here is, it contains the entire melody for the song. It's a stereo mixdown of a sample, and I can't seem to get it wide enough. It's very narrow as is...

I was thinking of duplicating the track, hard panning the two of them, and adding a delay on one... However, the bassline embeded in the sample makes me fearful of doing that.... I'm going to try it just to say I did... but, any ideas on other things I can try?

Maybe duplicating the track, cutting the entire low end, duplicating the track without low end, panning and adding delay as stated? Then leaving the original and cut all but the low end, leaving it dead center?

Would that help at all?

I dunno.. I'm just sitting at work wondering how I can make this sound more full.

I know you can use waves S1 imager to widen a stereo signal ... but I don't know if there are any free counterparts

You might have to do some Mid/side processing on that mixdown (there is probably a tutorial on that around the site)
 
I have waves Native Platinum, but I haven't used the S1 before. I'll give it a shot, thanks.
