i notice that when i pan anything hard left/right the sound becomes really thin, and it just doesn't sound good like it did when it was centered. is there a solution for this?
Let me be even more clear. If you duplicate a track and pan one hard right and the other hard left, you have the just discovered MONO. The same signal going to both sides is mono. It is the exact same thing as taking one track and panning it to the center. The center is where the signal seems when you have the same signal going left and right at the same volume.MISTERQCUE said:Dupe the track by bouncing to another track. In this way, you'll have 2 of the same tracks hard-panned that will provide you more of a presence & definition.

I don't know how to make this any more clear.
You can get a "stereo" image by adding a simple delay of about 10ms to one of the tracks. To get them to sound louder, dupe the track and pan them both to the same side... then throw a bit of eq in there....Farview said:Let me be even more clear.

The 10ms delay will cause phase problems in mono, if your stuff isn't in dangerRokket said:You can get a "stereo" image by adding a simple delay of about 10ms to one of the tracks. To get them to sound louder, dupe the track and pan them both to the same side... then throw a bit of eq in there....
Robertt8 said:There are some other "tricks" you can use to "thicken" it up...like pan your (lets just say) guitar fairly hard to the left, and set a slapback delay on it so it only delays over on the right. This will still give you your hard pan, but it will also not "feel" as empty.
I've heard this quite a bit lately and have YET to accomplish it. I'm fairly new to this home recording schtuff and new to this forum so go easy on me. I've been playing for 40 years so I'm not a kid, but maybe some of you "kids" can help. Can I get a DETAILED idea of how to accomlish getting ONLY the delay in one side? No matter how I do it I end up getting the original signal too. I'll give an example.
I use GT3 PRO for mixing. Let's say I have my drums straight up as well as the bass guitar. I'll pan my guitar to the left, say 40% and then add the delay that I want. Then using the AUX SEND on that channel I'll send it to another channel or a bus. That's where I get lost. I use VST plug-ins for the delay and I don't see a way to connect to only the OUTPUT of the delay to send it anywhere. I always get the original signal along with the delay.
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong and maybe give me step by step instructions on the RIGHT way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
