    Hey Reid. In Ableton the panning acts more like a volume control of the L/R Channels rather than moving the entire tracks image You can right click on the pan pot and say Select Split Stereo Pan Mode in Ableton 10 . I'm mainly using Waves S1 Imager for panning, and widening . But its interesting how this would work in a effects Rack, would i just use an imager on both chains and panning them there ?. love your videos bro !!!o!!

  • @charlesbonkley
    @charlesbonkley 5 років тому +1

    Your application of Echo was merely adding ping-pong delay. Sure it added width, but any stereo/ping-pong will do that. What about the basic, bread-n-butter use of the Width knob in Live's native Utility? That adds width the same as the StereoDelta plugin, and it's free. Another trick for some better-than-your-saucenest pseudo-delay widener action is to use Live's Delay, set feedback to 0, go 100% wet, set left channel to 1ms and adjust right channel from 2-12ms, or vice-versa, and suite to taste. Just by adding 1-3ms widens the mix nicely and doesn't add too much flangy-ness.

Lots of people are not computer savvy. I always seem to fall into problems doing this. Other tutorials on this subject never explain different scenarios and problems that could occur. I feel you would explain every possibility clearly. Is this something you would be interested in helping with?

  • @aarong4220
    @aarong4220 5 років тому +1

    I threw a mono switch onto the part where you added delay. The signal lost it's amplitude and didn't sound the same. So clearly there is some phasing going on. How do we do this and keep mono compatibility?

    • @thetylersherman
      @thetylersherman 5 років тому

      Supposedly this is a selling point of Sidewidener. It emphasizes that it maintains mono compatibility while creating a delay (Haas) type widening effect. I can't speak to maintaining it in Ableton though. Haas is pretty likely to throw bass notes out of phase, so if you can mid/side EQ and only pass upper frequencies through the Haas delay that might do the trick.

  • @consciousxz
    @consciousxz 3 роки тому

    Serious question. All these rules of leaving -3 to -6 db of headroom, is it really true? Since the fact that I cannot see your master. But by the way all the other instruments look it looks like they hit pretty loud on the master. Does it really matter or is that false? Only because when I mix my instruments they sound best loud but they hit -1 db

    • @paisleepunk
      @paisleepunk 3 роки тому

      If you are going to record vocals on top of the beat, then I'd say obey the rule. If you are making a standalone beat, you can afford to take a few more risks volume-wise.

    Quick question. When you pan channels hard left or right and then switch to mono you can’t even here them most of the time. I know you would only do this with background elements but doesn’t it still make a difference? Is this something to worry about?
