Subject: Stereo Expansion
Original Message Date: 27-Nov-00 @ 09:34 PM - Stereo Expansion
If I expand the drums the rest sounds crappy and things.
I would appreciate any advice on this matter. What do I have to think about?

I tried some of the ideas and I managed to get it to sound somewhat like how I wanted it anyway.
My next problem is the equalization thingy. What kind of software should I use to eq my instruments and is there any standard setups I should use?
I've managed to get things to sound somewhat "real" but something is still missing. Hard to just hear what's optimal at times especially when you haven't got any really good speakers at home like me.
I will take care of that problem in a near future though of course
Take care all

1. Record your lead or whatever sound to mono track.
2. Open recorded file in audio editor and convert it back to stereo.
3. Duplicate that file.
4. Roll of all HIGH frequencies ABOVE 1kHz from file_1...
5. ...and roll of all LOW frequencies BELOW 1kHz from file_2.
6. Now add stereo fx to file_2 with some plugin.
7. Mix file_1 and file_2 together(50/50).
Now you should have lead sound which have bass frequencies in center and high frequencies widely spread in stereo field.
I read this from Keyboard magazine and when I tried it I thought it sounded huge. So this might help you a little bit and it sounds professional if done with care.
