BEST MIX TRICKS! Panning with Delays, Create Depth and Space without Reverbs, front back positioning

[@L0CK3EDIN]

8 years ago you were giving out these amazing tips and still are

[@gexxgamer]

my tutor said that what makes a good engineer is not valued by their equipments , but by the way they using and apply it... , I think you are one of those people... , nice video.... , and again thanks for the tips :)

[@bananaman7458]

Exactly!

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

thats amazing... it sounded like the left ear only (i could have sworn it was)but i lifted the left ear off, and it was playing in the right, at normal volume..... great trick

[@adrianconsta1139]

For some time now, I've been listening to these tracks (electronic music) in headphones and they'd have these sounds placed so cool and weird in the mix that, in some cases, I was going like: "Was that coming from the song or was it from outside of the headphones?". And I always wanted to recreate that effect, that placement in the mix, but I never really managed to do it like in those cases. Guess that this plugin from Toneboosters will do the trick for me, its sounds so, so crazy! I was searching for something like this for a long time ago. And it has such a low price for what it does! Hope to not going crazy with it, sometimes I do that when I learn / get something new. Again, I'm very happy for watching your tutorials and finding something really cool. Thank you!

[@Magodafloresta]

Nice, thank you! The 2nd trick it's easy to do inserting the plugin Scheps 73 Stereo from Waves in the mono track, and then clicking in the "Phase" button of one of the channels.

[@rossrossiter9676]

love your enthusiasm for the subject, so many tutorials are delivered in that monotone voice and for a lover of sound its great to hear some inflection in your voice

[@Sonic-elevation]

This was great! My favorite channel yet cause you teach technics others don't teach.. Thanks man I really appreciate the time you give,keep up the great tutorial

[@JustinWardMusic]

Thank you for all these tips! Can't wait to use them!

[@benjamagambo8140]

Où étais-je toutes ces années ? This is what i have been looking for all the time ! Thank you soo much Mixbus TV ! I

[@skateboardnaked]

I watch mixing videos all time, but I find your channel the most helpful. very awesome

[@babydemonlab]

your tutorials are si helpful, that plugin does excactly what i've been trying (and failed) to do in my mixes.

[@mukatsuku1590]

most technically informative video that is straightforward and easy to follow.

[@Hartekist2France]

Hi :) Any idea how I can use the 2nd technic on other daw like reaper or ableton? Maybe a free plugin to advice? cheers

[@Hartekist2France]

No problem, I'll find a way ;)

[@prodj.mixapeofficial6431]

fuck this is underrated shit. wow. you're amazing.

[@rocthemasses]

And to add that my only interest in the TONEBOOSTER plugin was the effect for putting things in different areas inside a mix.

[@jugstries]

What the Toneboosters plugin does is unbelievable!

[@rjsrox07]

Think of Panning like shifting the volume between the left and right speaker. Say for instance if you pan 50% to the left, the sound is coming at full volume from the left and around half the volume from the right, but our ears perceive it as one sound coming from the left and vice versa. Just my input.

[@skeletonrowdie1768]

this video was such a mindblow for me!

[@skeletonrowdie1768]

I have been watching a lot for 3 days! i naturally subbed and liked everything :). I have a small question, i use Reaper as my DAW, which plugins are able to do such a microdelay as you did in the beginning of the video? :). And lastly, thanks you soooo much for all the work you did and do!

[@skeletonrowdie1768]

allright! then i guess i looked over it :D thanks you for your comments!

ToneBoosters has insane value for money plugins. It's a one man shop and his plugins are rock solid.

Very useful , focused & hands on tutorials! You definitely add value to my mixing.Thanks again & again :-)

[@CheeroDee]

Hi MixbusTV, I always enjoy your valuable tips, but in this one, when you kicked in the TB Isone plugin the first time at 11:05, I turned to look to my far right, ??? where's that sound coming from!!! Best tip I've come across in a long time. Will definitely use it. Many Thanks. Keep 'em coming.

[@martijnvandongen]

Thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial :)

[@CaptainVelveeta]

With the first technique, I see the advantage of spreading the sound but "frequency speaking", is this acceptable for making room for vocals since, technically, it's removing it from the center or is it just a perceived removal from the center of the mix.

[@ProdWoo]

Is this still your go-to plugin for what it does in 2020? Referring to the Toneboosters plugin.

[@mixbustv]

Yes, it would be I haven't used it in a long time tho

The Technique with the Trim Plugin made my Vox sound Incredible!!!! Why does this work? Can you explain this in a little more depth. It made my vox not only wider but gave them a warmer texture, which is a sound I've been looking for.

great tricks , thx a lot

amazing, thank you!

Great video thanks

[@SangreDeLithium]

I suspect that i might be asking a real noob question here, im sorry if that's the case, lol.. Anyhow, the isone plugin seem's to be everything that i have been looking for and i was curious to know if this plugin works with Logic, or does it only work on Pro Tools? And how much did the plugin cost? You're the man by the way. Very few people are as informative and inspiring as you! No bullshit.

[@bjreal86]

Thank youu!!!!!!!

[@PspiralifeTutorials]

Hi there, I am wondering if you could inform me of an alternative equivalent to this dual mono plug in that you are using. I do not have pro tools. Thanks for your time.

[@ikonstatus8293]

need help Mixbus Tv … i,m using pro tools 10 , i just got Tonebooster Isone . the problem i,m having the presets work , but the plug in is just a blank white box , can't see the knobs to make my own adjustments , the plug in is just a white blank box ……. just wanted to know how you install your plug in… what vst wrapper did you used … need help asap

[@avergain2019]

thank you !

[@Habbrow94]

this is a very enlightening tutorial, on all 3 instances would this techniqually be considered stereo effect without use of reverb and stereo effects? Does anyone have any suggestions for taking mono vocal lead track and making it have a subtle stereo effect without use of doubles?

its like panorama

Can I do this using H delay by waves

[@ValeriaLinley]

Thank you for video. Which plugin would you recommend as a Trim alternative if I don't use Pro Tools? This effect seems like what I've been trying to reach for years

[@zscools4915]

How do i make a bouncing left to right / right to left sound ( Rhythm guitar )

[@GTCband]

you are the best. Tell me please how can i use vst plugins on pro tools. thx tom

[@johnwhitt2393]

Great tutorial. What version of Pro Tools are you using? Is the Wrapped Plugin Folder a PC only thing?

[@johnwhitt2393]

***** Cool. I do have Patch Work but was just curious how you did the wrapped plugins in a folder of its own. I like that you can just select the plug in rather than having to load an instance of patchwork, then go find the .vst or .component. I'm lazy like that.

[@rocthemasses]

Found the error of having a second trial program in Pro Tool which canceled out the ISONE V3. Now Toneboosters ISONE V3 is working.

[@JamieClark]

That room designer section of the Isone sounds like reverb. Room convolution maybe? Either way, I wonder how that works with that section disabled, wonder if it's still useful without the "reverb"...

[@nosslinkire]

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing your knowledge! Any thoughts on how the Isone trick translates to speakers, since it's a binaural processor (if i understand it correctly)? Sounds really great here, but are there pitfalls to watch out for, given the fact that binaural works best (?) with zero cross-feed? All the best, Erik

[@harshitpurohit94]

Hey +MixbusTV ! Thank you! Your videos are a good source of inspiration to learners like myself. I have a little(and probably stupid) doubt. ummm, when I tried to do that in a stereo instrument track, it didn't work. Can you please explain me Why? Also, I did not quite understand, what role does "mix 0% on left and Mix 100% on right" play? is it the 'dry-wet balance' thing?

[@mrfgm]

hey man. i know i’m six years late , but is that plugin still available?

[@rocthemasses]

Hi Hi! Sorry I’m a little late on this but anyway….I downloaded your video many years ago “BEST MIX TRICKS”! and finally a few days ago wanted to try out TONEBOOSTERS ISONE V3. So I downloaded it. So by the day being FRIDAY THE 13TH what could go wrong?! I can’t buy a license for this plugin to work because the company doesn’t support this plugin anymore! So now for example I wanted to test the Channel mode I hear only STEREO, MONO and left channel. The right channel is disabled and there’s no saving along with other things. So, do you know anywhere I can buy a license? Or do you know of any plugin(s) that work similar? Could REALPHONES be a possibility?! Enjoy your day.

[@mixbustv]

I don't think you can buy it anymore

[@MustafaBerkeGureltol]

Can you make a video for the reaper software about this topic?

[@chri5_dj]

Hey Mr mix bus am enjoying all your videos!!! i use ableton which only has stereo channels and have been trying to follow this vid in my daw, so far i think i've worked out firstly to make the stereo track( mono) to use the utility plug in, then duplicate the channel and put a mono hass delay on each one, then set one with no delay and obviously the other side to taste ..... which gives that impression of the sound coming from one channel first ,,, One question....... do you need to hard pan the opposing channels can't you leave them in the centre and still have the illusion that it's coming from one channel ????

[@chri5_dj]

i guess also it's that balance between sounding great in stereo and sounding ok when collapsed back into mono there's a fine line there sometimes... Thanks for getting back to me , keep up the good work !!

[@just4dalaughters431]

do u know an alternative AU delay plugin for Logic Pro X? like the MOD Delay 2

[@gregarobic2]

How much is panning with delay mono compatible?

[@marvenwilsonsdonque1568]

hi can you make a video about the different kinds, or common problems when mixing? i just found out a minute ago about transients, and i dont even have an idea that it exist.. sorry about my english.. hope u get me.

[@marvenwilsonsdonque1568]

cool.. thank you so much

[@Warmwinterz]

I have pt9 on a mac. is the isone plugin compatible? I see that it is au not rtas

[@Hdom2323]

Anyone know of a Reason RE that offers the same solution as the Pro Tools plug in used here?

[@MartinWeeksmw]

about using delay trick in inserts for tracks not fx bus binaural pan can you go a bit more into depth about this? Over the past week, I've been in a forum/FB Group and we've been going over a lot of high end things, like using dynamic EQ, and (in Studio One...my DAW) the combination of it's "Dual Pan" and Binaural pan. Essentially duplicating the same process of the plugin you demonstrated. I have limited CPU so actually would prefer these types of techniques to standard panning, and delay. It also seem to me it fits right in with another of your videos, about density of a mix before mastering? Seems to me that with meticulous and careful use of these techniques, I could have both "Depth" in the mix as well as wide space and spacial without burning up my CPU and ram in the process. Then simply reserve the FX buses for when they are absolutely necessary. Am I on the right track (no pun intended there) or am I over thinking again?

[@tris421]

hey could you explain the second technique to use within logic. I dont have a trim plug in like that i have freeg stereo but it doesn't have the same controls... That seems like a really great trick.

[@kumadbd]

***** how about the free plugin Panipulator? I think you can flip the phase on one channel (L or R) can we use it for this trick?

[@kumadbd]

Allright I will try this when I can, by the way you can get the panipulator for free here: www.bozdigitallabs.com/product/panipulator/

[@paulrhodesquinn]

***** You can use the Gain plugin in Logic on a stereo aux, it allows you to invert the phase on left and right channels.

[@hittingsubset]

mono compatibility video?

[@TheOfficalAndI]

Not adressing mono compatibility in this video sounds like a pretty harsh pitfall for everybody just watching this and then applying destructive techniques to their mix

Hi. Can you tell what wrapper you have for Isone? I have BlueCat´s Patchwork on ProTools11 and I can´t see that bar with presets… Tnx

[@Sdbbffsd]

Before seeing this I would pan my dub tracks and harmonies and keep emphasis and lead up the middle. Do you pan vocals in the chorus at all and if so why?

[@Sdbbffsd]

MixbusTV my work is almost always rap/hip hop btw, so you have a lead center and then LR panned all the way? Or what did you mean by no in between? I thought the trick showed in the video was used instead of the panning knob so as to keep all your center feel and sound and just give the impression of width and space

[@brianmahoney8371]

I think the Isone plugin is worth $40 _alone._ But the great thing is that if you buy Isone, you get 9 other high quality plugins for FREE! Well, kinda... Technically, it's a bundle with 10 plugins. But like I said, I would pay $40 just for Isone So the other 9 are a pretty sweet bonus. Looks like a no-brainer to me: Link to ToneBoosters bundle: www.toneboosters.com/tb_bustools_v3.html (FTR: I am in no way affiliated with ToneBoosters.)

[@brianmahoney8371]

FWIW: You get Reelbus3 with this bundle which is a pretty awesome plugin. _Reelbus4 is out,_ and it costs 30 bucks which isn't bad either. But I _still_ think it's worth it to get this bundle because Reelbus3 was pretty highly acclaimed by a lot of people.

[@mago97615]

Hello , there is a problem (maybe) with this trick . The signal in output is completely out of phase . Even if we use the 1 ms setting , it's enough to go out of phase. So it almost disappears when we switch to mono mode . Any help?

[@mixbustv]

Yes, don't care. Stereo effects are stereo. You want a 100% mono compatible mix, don't use stereo

[@mago97615]

@@mixbustv thanks. Thats because a sound engineer told me that no samples, no tracks should enter the " out of phase zone". If it's the case, rework your sample. That was his word.... I think he was wrong..

Very cool tut. Phase trick doesn't work in Reaper. Might have to do with the fact that Reaper treats any audio channel as a stereo channel. Have tried to mono it out, send in mono etc.. just doesn't work well in Reaper.

[@alxiroi]

+MixbusTV Yeah there must be a work around i can use... just have to find it. Thanks for the greats tuts btw (y)

[@jonwiest8433]

This is way late, but for anyone else who wanted to recreate the phase trick in Reaper, maybe the most straightforward method is: 1. Duplicate the track for which you want the effect 2. Invert the phase on one of the two tracks (they should phase cancel) 3. Pan each track hard to one side (the intended effect should be audible now) 4. Add both tracks to a folder track for control over the stereo field. As with most things in Reaper, there are many ways to skin this cat.
