EXCELLENT tutorial on different ways of adding width and interest to recordings. Something that thrills every time I hear it: dynamic "stereo" processing according to volume and/or frequency; meaning, the stereo perception of the source widens and narrows according to its dynamics. Frequency can be achieved pretty easily with an appropriate EQ curve in the chain prior to the effect used for the contrasting channel. There are many plugins for achieving both, but two that come to mind, which are explicitly named for the purpose, are Sound Particles' Energy Panner and Brightness Panner. I'm sure both effects can be found in the one plugin from other plugin makers. Of course, modulating the effect channel with a tempo-synced LFO is also interesting; however, the most thrill for me has been when the source material, not necessarily tempo, drives the effect - it accentuates the source's character and emotion perhaps.
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I have actually never heard of this but I'll take a look into it, sounds super fascinating that you can change the stereo perception through dynamics! Cheers for mentioning it :D
Another top vid Chris. As a non-guitarist, these tips are top notch, in fact for any instrument these tips works well. More of these nuggets please. Cheers dude
Nice video and also very clear. Good,advice not to double track everything. I am ‘guilty’ of doing that. I also use the Strymon Deco for double-tracking. All the best from Belgium 👍🏻😎🇧🇪☀️
Thank you so much 😊 I believe the drums are a mix of samples from “That Sound” either Indie Aesthetic or Indie Rocker. There might even be one specifically for hi hats!

Thank you Lloyd, glad you enjoyed it and got something out of it! Will make sure to bring more of these tips!!

Love this tutorial. Super helpful. One question. What are those drums?
