internationalbig99 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I've just encountered a weird issue with probably a simple answer - I've got two (nearly) identical drum tracks, one panned to the left -64, and one panned to the right +63 -Why can I see no spread within the goniometer of the MultiMeter plugin? If the tracks are both exactly the same does it just cancel out and show it as a mono signal? -I've created a track stack with the two tracks, and put the stereo spread plugin on top, and I'm still seeing a mono signal on the multimeter? I'm confused! TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 A mono signal routed to a stereo track is indeed a signal where L = R, in other words both the left and the right signal are the same. They'll show up as a mono signal on the goniometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 If the tracks are both exactly the same does it just cancel out and show it as a mono signal They don't cancel out. Because they are identical your brain will perceive it as mono. Signals have to be different enough on each side for the brain to hear it as stereo.

fisherking Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 if you're trying to do a left and right doubled sound, you need to delay one side a bit (until it doesn't sound 'phasey' but isn't too delayed, so you lose coherence...
