I wanna know what tricks do you guys employ for making your sounds sound much thicker on the stereo field....for example i have been panning certain effects to the oposite side that i put an instruments on.....for example delay, flanger, phase, reverb....and it makes it sound bigger, thiker, more present however you wanna call it....i just wanna get more ideas regarding this topic and it would be really apreciated if other guys show their tricks too....also how do you guys thicken your bass what I am doing right now is have a bass in the middle then have 2 other identical bass panned hard left and hard right respectivley then i add a delay to the signal at the middle less than 5 ms...i also do this with kick drum exept for the delay....it sounds way better than before before but I dont feel it quite there yet....so any tips that you guys might have for me ill be looking forward to tring them out....thanks isratrance |

well multiple layers can always help, of course im a fan of making another layer and then pan both layers hard opposite from each other (Left & Right). Stereo enhancer plug ins can be used as well. Some are better than others but, on a personal level i would rather do it by hand i seem to get more of a "accurate" sound.
Usually basslines, kicks, and snares/claps are kept in mono, since those are some of the main sounds that create a base for your track. Although I find some kicks can sound good with stereo processing on them. But, again I think its personal taste! Same think with basslines. They can sound really fat and sexy in some tracks while others they are more felt than heard, etc.... This would depend on your track of course. But one way to make the bass bigger is by recording it twice as long and cutting it in half... layering it, then pan one to the right and one to the left... depending on your track and the bass you want this could help, although i recommend recording it to get all separate frequencies. This works great for progressive basses in really any EDM genre, But as far as full on as such, I would just keep it more simple. I find that all by basses sound better when things are kept more simple. (K.I.S.S.= Keep It Stupidly Simple.) hope it helps!

I like using the unison mode on the Virus TI and then up the spread parameter. Works a treat. Albino has the same features, works well on there too...as does ES2 and EXS 24 sampler. I am pretty sure Sylenth has that too.
I always kick the kick and bass mono, any perceived widening on the bassline comes from layered stereo synth lines, I never put spreaders or any widening stereo FX on kick/bass. Its not nearly as defined and tight as it is when it is the dry, mono patch.
Peace out.
