mono to stereo

[TS-12]

what's the most natural sounding monitor stereo plug-in?
I tried haas plug-ins, and simply copying the track and delaying it. But both of these methods introduce very audible comb filtering.

[TS-12]

anyone ?

I don't understand what you mean by: monitor stereo

Haas, which is where one channel is delayed, will of course produce comb filtering. Not essentially terrible but can cause issues if collapsed back to mono. BTW NEVER clone/copy tracks and process one/both differently, as that is just asking for issues that seem fine in solo but bugger up your mix. There are a million better ways that, when used to support the Scene & Story of this Song, work wonderfully.

If you need two: play it twice and pan em out.
If you need stereo:
- Pan usually with another instrument balancing on the other side. Contrast is your friend, so if everything is stereo'd out to the edges of eternity, nothing really feels wide. Keep many things central or close, then one or two things out wide will feel expansive by contrast.
- Echo with a stereo modulation creates space & depth around that sound.
- Chorus most are violently stereo so take care
- Phaser - here's a cool thing: set the modulation rate to zero/off and find a spot where, with a bit of stereo spread, it sits nice in the mix - this will also work as a kind of EQ if you pump up the feedback

Sig says CubeAss.

Not sure how/why DAW would change anything but despite pushing for replies, I suspect he/she/it/giraffe is pfft.
