Detune one of the tracks a couple of cents to create separation. You can also nudge one of them to start slightly earlier or later than the other track to create even more separation.

[@fanbat]

​@mezzanine237 with most software EQs such as FabFilter Pro Q2 you can also just eq either side of the stereo field. Lightly cut the highs with high shelf for whichever side you want to have the lower harmonics, and lightly cut the lows of the other side with a low shelf filter on the upper harmonic layer, and you will have auditory stereo separation without having to actually widen the stereo field and lose frequencies when listening in mono

Once you get good you hear music in your head, and without proper theory it will never come out right. There's a reaaon this song will be forgotten by every human after a few months and never cared for again, but ppl like Beethoven will still be well known even 100 years from now. Keep an eye out over the years and you'll see all the catchy stuff fade into nothingness, but the greats remain (and they were made by proper musicians who mastered their crafts)

[@killomnii]

@@Xemptuous music theory doesn’t make a song automatically good.

[@Xemptuous]

@@killomnii not necessarily true; depends what u mean by "good". If you know theory well, you always write stuff that sounds palatable. I've taught lots if ppl how to compose, and the ones who don't know theory write music by playing random garbled nonsense until they make something they feel is acceptable, and mess with it until it sounds "better". Well, it takes 20x longer than it should cus they don't know what notes are in the scales, what keys are close by to modulate to or use borrowed tones from, how to exoand with form, how to transpose, or use common progressions. On the other hand, if you knoe your theory well, you can improvise sonata allegro form on the spot with no problem. If you mean "catchy", then sure, that's a random miracle of a happening most of the time. But if you have good harmonic structure, and use counterpoint, you eill have pretty good melodies with little effort and struggle

Music, as far as recording and production and software is concerned, is like a 3d box. Every element needs to hold its own place within the box. The 3 main axis of this box are panning/location, EQ/tone, and gain/loudness. Pretty much any plug-in will fall under one or two of these categories to allow you to find a unique spot in your mix for each element, but they still need to be working together to make up one singular product, which is the song itself.
