Anyway of re-creating the stereo spread effect in operator?

Post by irchs » Sat Jan 27, 2007 6:18 pm

Hello,

Is there anyway of re-creating the stereo spread effect of Operator for any track? I have been playing all afternoon and I got something that sounds pretty wide and big, but it has a noticeable phase on it which is undesirable.

Any tips? I want to apply it to an acoustic guitar recording and a vocal recording.

Thanks

Jan

I have had a look at the Utility plugin, and had a google around for tricks using it, and most seem to be about making things mono. I want the opposite effect :o I've read about "The old school trick" which involves phase inversion, which the utility plugin seems to be capable of doing. I assume this is in the right direction?

Thanks

Jan

Look at the manual section on Utility.

yay, I have something very nice sounding now :D Cheers for the pointer!

Another question is now on my mind, is there any ableton audio effect that does the job of the track delay feature but actually in an audio effect? (The track delay feature which is available on each track) My aim is to make this effect into a neat audio effect rack.

Thanks
