![]() ![]() Listening in mono will give you access to the most upfront version of your mix, where frequency balance and levels issues are easiest to hear and fix. It’s one of the most important concepts in mixing. Masking is a psychoacoustic phenomenon that causes louder sounds to hide (or mask) quieter ones in the same frequency range. Otherwise the mix will sound hollow, muddy, and cause listening fatigue.įrequency imbalances are extra problematic because they can create masking. Your mix needs balance across the frequency range. One of the biggest challenges for wide stereo images is frequency balance issues. It might seem bizarre, but mixing in mono is an excellent place to start for getting a wider mix. In this article, you’ll learn 7 quick and easy Tips that will widen your stereo images and bust your mixes outta’ the box. This article will focus on stereo image techniques during the mixing stage-specifically for getting that massive, extra-wide sound. You can’t think about one dimension without considering the others as well-they all interact to create the total stereo image.Ī massive stereo image is also dependent on good stereo mic’ing techniques. But you need to consider all the dimensions to create the widest possible stereo image. ![]() Yeah, I'm more interested in using it for one shots, or certain sounds, or maybe even for layering more than mastering, I was interested to see what would happen if I used it on the master channel though, it's all work in progress and just playing around really.I know this article is about width. I see that the whole idea is that you want to use more extreme stereo widening though. Less is usually more, I don't get this problem by using just a bit. I always get the same problem- I widen the mix at home with Ozone and it sounds incredible, then I try it out on other monitors and it's more narrow than before. I think the best thing to do is listen on different speakers and headphones, because we must be getting very different results from that widener. it generally doesn't do the song any favours haha, I'm only really an amateur at writing, let alone mixing/mastering but I'm still interested in using R.A.C.E as a "stereo enhancer" on certain instruments, it seems like if used properly, it can widen beyond L/R without too much effort and still sound good but it's a matter of learning how to fine tune that to actually work within a song instead of just slapping it on as an afterthought The first mix is done by myself, I felt everything vital sits center channel, however the bass, kick, and a few other elements kind of took up all the headroom, I tried out using AmbioDSP on the strings, and as a subtle effect on the master channel to try and widen things, on some systems i have here it actually sounds like I have more headroom, upon experimenting. When I listened to the second mix, I immediately started missing the first. ![]() I don't understand, is the first mix without the stereo enhancer? Because it's much wider on my headphones. I'd really appreciate any feedback, and I'm more than happy to return the favor if you guys have music you want to show me <- here's the same mix but with AmbioDSP added to the string channel, and very minor usage on the master channel. <- here's the last mix I did a while back, has some volume issues here and there but it's mostly ok. Technically you're supposed to use AmbioDSP for listening, but I dont mind breaking the rules now and then ![]() Hi all, well I've done it, I've used AmbioDSP as a stereo enhancer on a song I've been working on, I'd really appreciate some opinions on the difference in sound, personally I think it's spread things out a bit, lowered center channel and created just a little more room in the mix which I think the song needed, however, I could listen to it in a week and go ugh, wtf did I do that for.
