stereo imaging

[przechuy]

well i myself engaged into mastering,i mean totally amateur way ,as i feckin felt that i have to learn something in thisw area and i can say that i create now really qualitywise good sounding stuff


but i want to learn about stereo imaging more now.

In my mixes i rely only on panning to make the sound fill the area,but i would like to know,for example from medway or any other user that done it before,how do you work with spatial processors,stereo imaging plugins etc in order to enhance maximalyl sounds ,still making it totally compatible with clubs sound systems




how do you apply it,when ,in which part of mix


on my easy tihnking mind i would say taht i wantd to

apply spatial processing on raw ,uncompressed mix first,and export it to wav

and then process it through mastering chain




or maybe i think in totally wrong way applying it on final mix and i should take care about it during mixing stage ?

I wouldn't go through the trouble of exporting. I also don't do a whole lot of spatial effects other than sometimes a bit on the master or groups. A lot of times I turn it down from the initial setting.

I mostly use panning and effects to create it and then use the spatial widening to bring that out a little more if needed. It can also help 'smear' the mix a little if it's sounding too focused and dry.
