Does anyone know how Infected manage to get one of my favourite effects? I don't know what it's called, but here's my attempt to explain ;]
On a lot of tracks, certain sounds seem to be panned far left & right, with the standard Infected phaser, and no delay or verb. Somehow (and this could just be happening inside my head), the sound seems to be stripped of all central frequencies while the hard panning (far left & right) seems to remain unaffected (or should that be un-infected?).
It almost sounds like they've increased the stereo width of the sound, but managed to insert silence into the centre of the mix!!! Is this a plug-in related effect, or a mix technique?
If anyone can shed any light on this, I'll be able to sleep comfortably at night again!!

could you say a music and the time where that happens..?
i didnt understood very well what you described..
but if you make the sound that plays on left be a bit un-sync with the right.. like 100ms will be more than enough i think.. will make that effect me thinks..
still cant be sure if this is what you're talkin about..
so if you could name a song.. 
take care |

If I understood u right, u might be talking about something that called in hebrew Anti-Phaza or in english ...
You can create this effect in Waves Stereo Imager for instance, try to play with negating one side to other, this creates very interesting things with the stereo image. Mind u that in mono system the sound that was mixed like this will be lost since it will eliminate itself when the 2 channels unite to mono.
Sorry if I go the wrong direction, but that may be the thing u r looking for

Anti phase, (or phase reversal in the UK) might just be the answer. I've always been a bit uneasy about using stereo imaging plug ins on anything other than the whole mix, but I'll give it a try.
I can name one track which uses this technique (but it's used in nearly every track they've done!)
Converting Vegetarians, Track 1, about 3.50 into it, there's a sort of "disco tom" sound that only appears in the far left and right sides of the stereo field. It's easier to hear through headphones too.
Thanks for the feedback =] |
