hi there,

now that i come to mixing and mastering, some question appeared. when watching professional mixes on my correlation meter, it almost always stays completely in phase, forming a straight line.

-> my conclusion: this is good, i need to have that, too. :) (correct me, if I'm wrong!)

now...since there is a lot to pan in the music i recorded, phase correlation turns out to be a problem and again there is this question: "how do they do it?"
...and a lot more of them:

is there any technique to pan without destroying correlation?
maybe in the final step of mastering? is it experience? (-> is it possible at all? :) )is it expensive? is it adviseable? ....and so on.

thanks for your opinions!

greetings,

If I am on your track here I would have to say that its something done mostly in professional mastering to the 2 track master.
BUT on the other hand I would have to say that you shouldn't have to worry about that at the moment, if your mix sounds good but your correlation meter shows a small phase issue I wouldn't go nuts trying to fix it, (but then your listening to a guy who usually throws duct tape over meters in the studio. :) )
I personally have never been one for phase meters and digital phase displays, I usually just check the mix in mono and if anything disappears or becomes thin I know that I have phase issues.

good advice.

dont get so into looking at meters. trust your ears. if you cant trust your ears, THEN look at metering and check!
 
:) i know that, and there are many ears around here...psst, they are listening!

i'm always on the run for new ways to finally have more to choose from. maybe panning lower frequencies center and the higher ones to the desired position. hmmm...i'll try a little bit and then let you know.

but now it's saturday....cheers,
