Learn to make things less stereo instead of more stereo.......

you have every capability to control the frequency with eq.

you also are in control of the frequency content by the sounds you make, also when it's being treated with eq.


Make your mix wide, not your master.

I use a frequency splitter in Bitwig (native plugin) and then either put a tool/utility or Waves' S1 Stereo Imager on the frequency band I want to affect.

Izotopes Stereo imager -  pretty amazing plugin. You can split your frequency bands wherever you like and make your signal narrower or wider for each frequency band. It will also show you I you are keeping in phase and you can solo each band to see the effect.

TP Basslane - great for something like basslines - you basically set your cutoff point then everything under that cutoff point will be sent to mono. So there is no need to split your basses and send them to different channels just slap on a basslane and send your subs to mono.

Sonalksis Stereo tools - Good from 'spreading' sounds. I might use this on something like my hats or percussion buss to slightly spread out the upper mids and high frequencies.

Why do you guys assume that OP is going to use this for mastering?

Why do you guys assume that OP is going to use this for mastering?

it's a typical route that is traveled among producers with out very much knowledge.

Hence, this forum being in existence and questions like OP are being asked. Chances are OP might want to think about a way to use things that are not necessarily beneficial for OP's learning experience.

Reason being, i've done stupid shit before, but i won't be doing stupid shit in the future. But only OP can stop the self that is OP's self with experience and guidance from people who have messed up more than OP even tried. More than likely.

until evidence is provided other wise, my assumptions will remain as though they are true.
