gtr Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I posted the messge below elsewhere - but then added the following thought for Craig and crew - Is there a Behringer "Edison"??? spatial rack unit? Or any other workarounds?? Here is the post - I was brought on to mix a band - the engineer who recorded the stuff didn't record the overheads or the stereo tom tracks hard left and right - so basically I have 2 tracks of overheads that are almost identical - and the same with 2 tracks of toms (if you listen real close you can hear a "slight" seperation) So.... is there anyway to create more "stereo" sound - spread the tracks apart (Obviously when you pan the same signal r and l you don't get the stereo left and right feel, but rather a "all in the middle" thing) - This is all being done on analog - and will most likely stay that way so outboard fix is first choice - I could potentially take it to my studio in the computer - but they probably don't want to pay for that - Thanks jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 You might try patching one of the channels into a delay to try to chang the perceived space of the two tracks. Just a little will go a long way (start off with around 20-50 ms)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 In addition delaying, you can EQ the OH tracks differently - accenting different frequency ranges on each track which can give a wider stereo spectrum. aka riffing Double Post music: Strip Down http://rimspeed.com http://loadedtheband.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayvel Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Flip the phase on the right channel and add it to the left channel; this gives you a L-R signal. Add some of this to the left channel. Flip phase on the L-R signal and add some to the right channel. Don't overdo it or you'll lose everything mixed in the middle. This will also emphasize any phase problems and room sound. The best idea is probably to leave it alone. The guy who recorded it was probably going for a realistic drum sound as opposed to a ten foot wide drum set.

Ultravibe Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 This is a computer solution, but a cheap one. PSP Audioware (http://www.pspaudioware.com/) has their StereoPack plug-ins. It's only about $25 and the sound is pretty nice. Andrew Mazzocchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MixterRader Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Man screw the computer!! Run the tracks into the studio monitors and set up a couple of good mics. Mix these into the origional tracks and Voila! Stereo without delays and (hopefuilly) no phasing problems. Be a professional musician. Or just sound like one! Produce music with THOUSANDS of loops and effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
