I could go to the Gearslutz with this one but I like this place much better...and it seems like a good subject for this fresh new department…
I’m recently given some recordings to mix where there’s only one overhead. (a Coles ribbon)
I’d really like to spread the drums a bit tough.
So far I found these ways to spread a mono signal:
- Pitching a double of this signal and panning this. This will obviously result in a sort of chorusing sound.
- delay a double of this signal and panning this. The signal seems to come more from the non-delayed channel tough, and not very mono-compatible .
- put a double of the signal out of phase and pan. This often sound very cool on things like synths but is obviously very non-mono-compatible.
- some sort of stereospreader where different frequencies are boosted left or right). I use this one the most for drums.
Anyone has some other tricks?
very short room or ambiance reverbs…
I’m using Logic Pro FWIW.
