Do you suppose in the present day’s streaming platforms and fashionable playback methods have modified the best way producers strategy stereo width?
I don’t suppose so. In my view, it’s most likely us who’re including extra stereo-width than we notice, and possibly have numerous non-mono components, and so on., total making it fairly skinny and hole.
Many samples and presets on VSTs have quantity of width that solely really ‘sounds good’ in isolation.
For instance, numerous sampled kicks you will get on-line are stereo and have a bizarre unfold to them (I simply mono them). I’m nonetheless figuring it out, and I’m not a professional, however having primarily mono components and getting our width via tasteful panning, delay, and reverb is the best way. Perhaps we’d have one or two broad components, however nothing is that if every little thing is vast.
