Stereo Effects regarding synths/drums: How?
Posted on: 25.02.2013 by Rodolfo Oriol
Hi.

How do you make that stereo effect so you hear the noise very clearly in both sides (left+right)?
I tried to do it in ableton , I made two clap channels, first one panned to left, and other to right. Nothing really happens here. Then I put a 3D pan vst to both of the tracks and panned it higher up. A little better.
I believe I've heard you use some delay techniques, or delay effects. Tried to do it but didn't come far. Help!

I have a little example of the technique, by axwell. The track is called I found U. The synth at 0.52 HOW?!?

Phasing. It's a relatively old technique, used a lot in Hip Hop productions. If you have two exact same sounds (claps for instance) sent to both Left and Right, it will be heard in mono. By making slight phase adjustments between the two, you get a range. At a certain point if the two sounds are shifted far enough they will sound like two separate sources, you don't want that. In between mono and the two separate source point, there is this small range where your ears don't perceive it as mono, but not as separate stereo either, it just sounds wide. We're talking shifting around 10-15ms or so.

A similar effect can be made using a delay where it's set to a difference in sides (25ms left, 35ms right, for instance).

In any case, some reverb is usually then added to help mask the phasing even more. Relatively simple technique, just experiment. If you have a plugin with a phase control, set it to a knob and slowly turn it (so it affects 1 of the 2 tracks) until it sounds wide.

Hope this helps!

ping pong delay? Autopan?
