stereo vocal mixing

[buddhistmarty]

Dear Sound Masters from Ten directions

 

I recently got a peculiar way to mix an original mono vocal track.

All I got is one mic, so the output must be mono.

I duplicate the mono track and pan 2 track extreme left and right.

I delay the right track a few mini seconds.

I got wider feel. But the middle seem less solid.

therefore I duplicate one more mono track pan as extreme middle.

so the wider and richer feel I got.

BUT! where should i BEST put/time this mono middle track?

same as the right-panned or left panned track?

or sometimes between the extreme left and right?

Try eliminating (mute for test) the middle track and pan your L & R less extreme i.e. closer to center (maybe around +15 or 20 & -15 or 20).

you also may want to leave it as one mono track and play with Logic's Vocal Transformer and Speech Enhancer Plug ins.
