stereo / mono

[stjohn]

heres something i stumbled along the way... it does mental stereo stuff for me....

1. set up 2 send/return tracks..

2. put a plug in that can invert phase on return 1 (utility in ableton) and invert the Left signals phase..

3 put something like the Waves Ultrapitch shift on the 2nd return track. this will add some weird detune .. (voice of zardoz is a good preset)

4 enable the send B of return track 1... so it will actually send a full signal to the ultrapitch as well as the master.

5 on your vst or audio track put up send A to full... u might notice this works as turning the ultrapitch on or off without actually have to power on or off anything and can make smooth transitions (u will have to have both Left and right phases inverted for it to work fully )

6. to finally get some weird stereo going on... pan the audio channel to about 9 oclock left. and voila... the mixture of detune of phase inversion makes some crazy spreads...

hope this makes sense...if not i can go through it..because trust me it can beef up pads, voices, and if you can manage the delay even beats..

sorry i dont know a 3rd party plug in that can invert phase of a single left or right channel... maybe you know Loopdon?

i did a quick example from a track im wokring on now.....only very slight... i can do something more drastic if anyone wants..

before

after
www.chrome-metronome.net/test1b.mp3


the after leans slightly to the right but that was on purpose:)

anyway the magic is you can use pretty much every plug in to create weird stereo effects, which i dont hi nk ive heard before... particularly with stuff like GRM toolz delay / shuffle... madshifta, everything

I know that Waves Q10 (and possibly some other waves ones) are capable of this. It's the + and - buttons.



This free solution might do as well:



"I'm build vst plugin for mixdown check when my's project complete . It's simple vst but you can useful for more. Like to converse stereo to mono or inverse phase for pad /strings or soundFX to wide image each track. If you would like to test.

L+R : Stereo track to mono
R/L : Alternate spk. channel (2ch.only)
L-R : Inverse R Channel 180'
R-L : Inverse L Channel 180'

And whil we are talking 'phase' - this is a sweety, too:



PhaseTone is a FREE frequency-dependent phase rotation and correction plugin.

PhaseTone allows you to manipulate the phase of your signal across a user-definable frequency range, with options for creating different phase and time-based offsets (if desired) for the left and right channels of a stereo signal.

Similar to hardware boxes popular for correcting phase relationships between signal-pairs such as bass DI and bass mics and top/bottom snare mics, PhaseTone goes a little further.

By allowing the user to select the center frequency and Q of the phase process, PhaseTone allows for more creative manipulation of phase when mixing, producing more EQ like results, increasing clarity and removing mud.

And, best of all, it's free!
