A native version of FL is currently in development for mac. Its in it's Alpha phase. Looks very promising, no more crossover/wine ports!

yea been waiting for too long. got too pissed off so i moved to windows. god damn they took forever

this is mine

no, panning doesn't mean more stereo. especially if it's the same sound

If you use 3 layers of the SAME supersaw, and pan one hard left, other hard right and leave one centered you are not getting a wider sound at all. All you do is make them louder.

i don't have ability nor luxury to perceive stereo, but after reading some, i understood that short delay and stereo imagers are wonderful for these cases

"There are many ways to achieve a wider sounding mix. One of our favourite ways of getting a sound to fill out a wider portion of the stereo field is by using a stereo delay (not a good idea on the mix bus but it works well on individual sounds).
To do this, pick a stereo delay that lets you control the delay times of both the left and right channels individually. The idea is to set the delay time between the two channels at very small intervals, typically we will go with something like 5ms on the left channel and 8ms on the right. The effect works really great on backing vocals and guitars." - Televisor

4. “You can use Ozone’s stereo imaging and take frequencies above seven thousand [7 kHz], or even a little bit lower, and you can widen everything up there, so that the mix starts to sound a lot wider.” – Skrillex

I'll usually start with Pro-Q 2 highpass and lowpass to give me some headroom, the into an Ozone preset (I love the Greg Calbi presets) tweaked as necessary (usually playing with the mb compressor and maximizer). Then I like to use a dbx-160 to glue the mix together a bit, and add some of that "analogue warmth" . After that, I'll run my mix through a couple instances of Pro-L to bring up the loudness. Pretty straightforward, but it gets the job done!

hm maybe i should start using dbx-160 ? but isn't it a bit too much though ? i wonder how it'll sounds like

2. “Avoid redundancy – There’s no need to have two simultaneous chorded instruments with loud highs… having snappy, fast decaying highs on rhythmical elements can go a long way.” – Madeon

i think this is the problem i and some producers have, is that often times, the layering is not right because we layer similiar sounds (with frequencies hitting each another). yea probably your problem's that you layer sounds with similiar/equal frequencies (?) lol~~

Fruity Reverb 2, Waves' Renaissance Verb

that ! +the obvious valhalla vintage verb

1. be persistent and consistent with your goal and idea (for a song/project)
2. always learn. there are more things you don't know than you do
3. i only got two
