stereo / mono

Legend barry!

I get how widening gives you more space. I just don't get what widening involves.. what happens to the sound when you widen it?

If you balance a mix using widening will it not sound muddy when you revert back to mono?

it creates a slight delay between each channel (which you can control) .. it only really fools your ears more than anything.. dont go too wide though or you'll lose a lot on the mix down.. i usually stop around 60% or so..

also it doesnt work on mono tracks.
