So you just started your new Technotrack with this amazing fat Bassdrum and Bassline - 2 Track so far, straight mono in the Center for the right Kick.
You create/add Track Nr.3 with some Strings/Chords (pretty low frequencies) and your mix starts sounding like a mess. Track 3 collides in the low-frequencies with the other 2 Tracks. Instead of using a Lo-Pass Filter to Cut-Off the too low frequencies, here another idea where No EQ is needed and the Frequencies still remain! I would like to hear your opinion about, especially the Mastering issues of this idea:
Everything below 100 HZ (or whatever you wish) of Track 3 convert to Mono, then Phase invert the Left or Right Channel - Your Subwoofer is now free of Track's 3 low Frequencies and leaves Space for Bass-Sounds. Frequencies below 100 HZ are now played LR, not Center.
Monomixing would kill now frequencies below 100 HZ of Track 3 (which caused trouble beeing in the Center), so that would work out. Would Vinyl Records get OK with it, or the Needle simply explode?!
Any comment Welcome!!
Plugin-Idea: Remove from Center / Mixing question

My guess is you won't get away with this on vinyl. The needle will jump like a flea. Also on systems with a subwoofer I think nothing below 100Hz (or whatever freq) will be passed to L/R since that is what the subwoofer is doing.dalor wrote:Everything below 100 HZ (or whatever you wish) of Track 3 convert to Mono, then Phase invert the Left or Right Channel - Your Subwoofer is now free of Track's 3 low Frequencies and leaves Space for Bass-Sounds.

Thats what i can 'GUESS' only too.

Good point! It Sounds good on a Headset though.
if you use a LPF to cut out frequencies from the Center, it suddenly sounds like there is 'a belly' missing (sounds unnatural, too cutted somehow) and i try to avoid this, obviously its the only way?! How else can i keep the lower Frequencies and remove them from the Center - or do i have to live with cutting them off using a LPF? Hmmmm
