Here some fairly advance techniques for mising


Widen your Stereo mix
1) Open a stereo file/song/track in a waveform editor or your DAW
2) Make an exact duplicate and Invert both the Left and Right waveforms
3) Line the Inverted signal with the original signal and you should have 0 output since they cancel each other out.

now for the 'trick'
4 (Optional) Nudge the inverted left signal + 2 samples @44.1khz or 3 samples @48khz
5 (Optional) Nudge the Inverted right signal -2 samples or 3 samples respectively
6) Reverse the Left and Right Inverted Channels
7) Adjust Gain of Inverted Reverse channels to taste (from -96db to -6db where 0 db equals a silent waveform)
8) Mix with Original Signal

This will 'Widen' your Stereo Mix significantly.

Also, on each track you make, imagine if your track was 'alive' where would it be at? A hall? a room? the moon?
Apply a tough of verb to your global mix to give it a sense of spaciousness.

What does These tricks sound like?

I have experimental tracks on my music page (same recording session/ different arrangements)

The first track: "Out of Control" uses Inverted channel switch
An older arrangement in the same session "Outpost" is the same insru/tracks with just raw mix note the difference.
