Hey guys.....is there any plugin with which we can add some stero effect to vocal and music........

actually i think its similar to stereo effects....when we select pan ......like moving the balance knob just slightly on either side...

but with that one speaker is louder than the other one.......
 
Reverb, delay, chorus, flange (on and on and on)... Most are stereo effects.
 
In FL Studio version 9 or higher you will find 'Fruity Stereo Enhancer' and 'Fruity Stereo Shaper'. Those plugin are good for get a nice stereo effect for your track.
 
EQUO is pretty good for stereo seperation,but its for lazy people :D
 
The FL mixer has a stereo separation knob on each track, which you may find useful. In version 10, using 'wide tracks' option it appears just under the pan wheel. Then there is the new Stereo Shaper plugin with which you can do variety of things. Just have a play around with it.

Just copy your guitar/vocal track, pan one left and one right, and level to taste. Plugins ARE for the lazies.

I don't know if it's lazy... Seems pretty straightforward and easier to just pan your tracks. Some of the stereo shaping plugins offer more options.

I usually find that there are more options doing it manually. I mean yeah, some plugins offer things you can't get anywhere else, but there are unlimited options manually panning compared to a plugin, which is somewhat limiting. I agree, sometimes a plugin will work faster, easier, and sound good, but I just prefer having the option to keep a guitar panned left until the whole band comes in, then go to stereo, yadda yadda etc etc.

That doesn't do anything you can't do by setting the pan and level controls on a single mono track.

Well, I've never used FL, but in apple logic, if a track is mono it stays mono unless I use a plugin.. I don't like the plugins I have. Hence, the two tracks, one left and one right. Which is what I thought his problem was- He wanted a balanced stereo track but he could only achieve a panned mono track.- Or am I stupid?

well... I also use "apple logic" ... and boulder is right.... what you described by duplicating the track is and panning left and right and mixing to taste doesnt make sense...

lets say you do that and you make the R pan 50% louder than the L pan track... that means all you'd have to do is take the single track and pan it right 25%

What your describing would make sense if you didnt duplicate the track... but double tracked... which is what you SHOULD be doing to get a stereo feel to it anyways
 
Just re-enforcing the fact that duplicating a track does absolutely nothing other than make it louder. It does not turn a mono track into stereo, it just makes a mono track mono and louder. The only way to "stereoize" a part is to play it twice and pan.

Besides that, I think this thread has more mis-information in it than I've seen in a thread in a long time.

No, not stupid at all. Actually, the tracks in FL Studio are all stereo by default. If you want mono, I think you set the separation to zero and leave the pan at centre. There has been some debate over at the FL forums recently on whether FL can actually output 'true mono', where the developer replied that to do that, you would just send out a stereo pair with merged stereo. I dunno what I'm talking about of course or if this is even relevant but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that you're automatically recording tracks IN stereo. You're still recording a mono source onto a stereo track, which doesn't change the mono source into stereo. A single vocal, guitar, snare drum, etc..... is mono no matter what you do to it.

Yes, of course. Good point.

Except, it depends on if you're recording live instruments and for that I suppose you would usually end up with a mono track for each. Many of the synths in FL Studio actually output in stereo and so you end up with stereo tracks for those.

So I think that's where these stereo-enhancing plugins he wants to use might come in.

Yes, exactly. Most instruments are mono. Vocals, guitar, bass, even inidividual drums even though the whole drum set might end up in stereo. About the only instruments that get recorded in stereo are synths because they often send different information on the left and right sides.

For the instruments that aren't stereo, you're better off calling up a mono track in your DAW.
