One thing that happened in my production journey was that when I first started producing, my tracks were super mono but sounded like ass. Then I discovered stereo imaging, and all the plugins to make things wide, and I went the opposite direction. Tracks super wide but sounded like ass. And the more I learned, the more I noticed that the best tracks out there are super mono compatible with just the right amount of stereo with. If you can sound amazing fully mono, its game over!

[@ZenWorld]

Preach my brother you've gone through the journey and we must serve our community. With this video, I hope to set people down this path.

[@cottoo1]

Most sound presets from different vst instruments are really wide. Do you make them more or even conpletely mono?

[@JaKunaMusic]

@@cottoo1 I usually turn off any fx that will make a sound wide (reverb, delays, hyper dimension, etc...) And then add the amount of stereo information back with my own techniques and preferences so you have more control over the sound.

I love how you cut out your own voice when you begin to waffle and move on to something else 🤣its the the little details that make you who you are zen, great video ninja!

[@spamytv]

You are so good at conveying information man! Easily the most clear explanation of width and pan uses in modern music

[@AshK.music.]

Video came just at the right time! Was struggling with space and clarity, and I don’t even have a stereo imager lmao time to get 1

[@We_Run_Up_Hills]

dude that song is fire! will it ever be published??

[@ZenWorld]

1 label I eyed hasn't listened... Maybe IDK I need to clean some stuff up in it. But demo is there ready to go.

[@mufakkas9731]

That's back to business, you're back on track dude.

[@bodoxocofazikela]

Dude You are underated, what you're doing, teaching all this stuff for free is really amazing

[@digicat247]

This applies to hardware also. I have stereo imaging modules for my eurorack setup and its my secret weapon (since 90% of eurorack is mono anyway). Bass Station 2 with stereo imaging will bring. the, bass.

[@ZenWorld]

Yes Analog is where I learned the importance of MONO like digital is too stereo in stock formats... We need more MONO Guidance and it makes life easier

[@metroommusic]

Zen, fire as always! Much luv❤

[@mamba4158]

needed this thank you king

[@MyChorizoSausage]

No cap, you are the best teacher ever! Everytime I see your video I stop to watch and learn. Thank you!

[@Skrenja]

No cap? It's cold out, go buy one.

[@cekirdekci32]

Exactly what I needed Thank you. I never thought I could autopan the hats like this . Saving this as a preset cause this autopan on hats was not distracing, I normally hate autopan probably because I suck at setting it up lol. This was such a good class, I also learned some TrueVerb early reflection tricks for stereo placement without even adding any reverb this week. Difference was way too subtle. But for slow tempo and less instrumental records I think difference was pretty audible. But I think panning wisely like this should be more than enough . best mentor, Zen Master. cheerz to youuu

[@RogueFire29]

gold! and love so much your passion and energy ( and jokes ;) ) Thanks !!

@@cekirdekci32 right! Too bad I gotta do try to translate some of these techniques he shows in his videos to fl studio plugins 😅😂

[@harrisondaymusic]

did my boy freedo dirty with that reference lmao

[@Mechanobi]

A lot of this stuff is solved also with side chaining using the eq option. It works better as it is a dynamic approach with competing frequency's. The technique is probably worthy of its own video. Signed: Yer favorite Secret Sauce Ghost writer.

Very wise thanks for sharing

Amen 🙏🏻

[@chrisdorsch9754]

You've missed a fundamental part of the story. The arrangement and sound choices can also provide you space. Go listen to a producers name, Hex Hector, and Mac Quayle. They were the best at less is more production. They both were mix engeneers who became master of the craft.

[@michieljansen648]

If you explain this to your wife, don't use the sidechick analogy

[@ZenWorld]

😮😮

[@jakebrown3697]

sidechick and wife comparison lmaoooo

[@Maradnus]

I just hard pan each instrument to each side & nothing fights ever. Yes even the kick & bass. My Mix is godly but its horrible to listen to.. you get an ear ache from the kick, snare, & hats.

[@ZenWorld]

Don’t make it extreme to my brother LAUGH😅 YOU GONNA SOUND LIKE FLUME
