The No.1 Trick To Make Everything Sound Wide | Cubase Secrets with Dom

[@willischirwa3992]

Dom Sigalas has become my favorite Cubase KZbinr. I have learnt so many useful techniques from his videos and this is one of them. I knew about the Haas effect and I have used the short delay of one side of the stereo spectrum for a long time. Admittedly less and less. We have stereo widening in the master bus, why bother, right? Wrong. It is so much more powerful to use this for selected tracks and the effect is more dramatic than stereo widening tools ever will be. They are not bad on the bus but the Haas effect is something very different. But complicated to achieve. Till now. I used to export a mono track into stereo. Then split the stereo track. Then delay them to each other. Sometimes I got timing issues, when the parts did not start on beat 1 in the bar. And if something is overcomplicated we tend to dislike it. And slowly stop using it. Like me. But this technique with the stereo delay stock plugin is so easy to use that it became a standard for every project within a few days. First a made a mistake leaving the left channel open and wondered about the 1/1 delay. lol. But I replayed this tutorial and turned down the left cannel in the stereo delay and it works just phantastic. The best effect is it makes the whole track so wide that widening plugins are not really making a significant difference any more. Unlike before. When the mix was quite narrow without widening. Thanks a lot, Dom.

Thanks a lot Dom this was a real break through for my mixes very very valuable ❤❤❤

[@L-M-MOfficial]

That Haas made my day... ... Seriously though, fantastic tip Dom, can't wait to load up Cubase and give it a go! 😁 👍🏻

I am your big fan Dom sir...loads of respect from india..

[@jackstheraptor2791]

I do the widening with Mixer delay plugin. Super useful.

Bro, what a trick. Something easy to use, very powerful. Thanks man!!

[@ashfaqtulu9027]

Dom you r super brilliant. ❤ I watch your every vdo.try learn. So thank yoy.. Im from Bangladesh

[@felinephase]

I loved the Fruity Stereo Shaper from Image-Line. When you understand what it does, it is powerful. I had not found something as clear and powerful on Cubase. Thanks. Did add the Dom Sigalas Wideness Preset to my Stereo Delay. Very helpful. Just applied it on my current project.

[@rsmith9094]

Agreed. I didn''t like the Fruity Loops worked, Cubase simpler and more intuitive in my opinion. But I miss that Fruity Stereo Shaper plugin.

[@jebb.]

Great trick

[@casimirdekkers-newtrackout691]

One simple trick to make it easier to dial in a good amount: Keep your track in mono either by a monitor switch, or a plugin on the masterbus to make it mono. Dial in the delay to where it still sounds acceptable(Stay under 40msec.) and then switch back to stereo.This way you can find a sweet spot where it's wider in stereo, and not too canceled in mono. 3:17 Did you just flip us the bird?? That's not nice 😜

[@steverosbotham6403]

This is new to me. Pure gold. Preset already created and named after you😂. Thank you sir!

[@AcousticAce2]

Just tried this out and it sounds great

[@jay2ush]

This was helpful !!! Thank you🙏🏿

[@beryan1000]

Great information. Thank you again Dom. Your tutorials are so clearly explained . Wonderful.

[@edwardstaszko]

This is great information! I was doing the same thing by creating duplicate tracks and offsetting the time, this is so much simpler and more efficient.

[@cryptout]

I’ve been doing this by duplicating tracks and using the delay slider. Your method is easier!

[@rsmith9094]

Brilliant video, and so simple ... thank you Dom

[@beyondmywildestdreams6942]

Man you make me crazy with these insane tutorials! I mean am dancing on the floor 😅thanks so much!

[@jocaboca1395]

Wooow what a great piano....what is that sample? Is that Halion Sonic SE? Or something else?

[@DocTheGuitar]

Hey Dom, I'm getting addicted to these videos now :-)

[@SimonFieldMusic]

Thanks for this - although in terms of # of clicks, duplicating the track, adding delay to one and panning left right is way fewer clicks. Then you are also able to treat the differently and remove frequencies that are causing phase issues in the center. Another little thing about the example in this video, elements driving the beat (like claps) actually takes away drive when spreading them out like that IMO.

[@SimonFieldMusic]

Doing this on reverb bus on the other hand ads a whole new dimension to shorter reverbs adding amazing space.

[@mattstaples]

Always a useful technique that one! Thanks Dom, great video as always

[@RichinKuzhikkad]

what's the vst he's runnin in the second monitor???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@vladonie]

Thanks a lot Dom! :-) For me, for example, the way to create a Stereo Audio track and just transfer a Mono Audio Event to that Stereo track works very well. Then, I load the Plugin MONO TO STEREO into the Insert and specify the delay, stereo image width and color on it. If I want the impression of an even wider stereo image, I use some EQ that has the possibility to equalize the L and R channels separately and equalize them so that the equalization of the left channel is slightly different from the equalization of the right channel. For my needs, this method works very well for me...Hass's effect is a great trick, but it makes the left channel louder than the right, and that is often not the best option for me in the mix. Best regards!!

[@cassidyofficialmusic5536]

This is really top notch, man keep on doing the thing I follow u always n I must make mention that I av learnt alot

[@haridevanarsiah140]

This channel is so valuable. Thanks a lot for sharing such contents.

[@murraywebster1228]

Gotta be careful with Hass effect on bass material when collapsing to Mono

[@felinephase]

Yeah. Just tried this. That said when you introduce back a bit of wet/dry on each channel respectively. For instance, Instead of 100% dry on left channel you put it to 80% dry and on the right channel 100% goes 80% wet similarly. Did help for me.

[@willischirwa3992]

The best is to set the locut within the stereo delay way up to 250 to 400 or even 600 Hz

[@Jrel]

Yep. Might also still need to mono the low end even on the widened bass material because it will make any low and sub frequency content in the mix weaker than it was, or on the entire mix; whichever brings the low end back or keeps its original strength.

[@willischirwa3992]

@@Jrel I would not do that. Why? Because the widened material is not in phase any more. If you mono it you will definitely get phase cancellations in the low sector that you do not want to have. It is better to only widen the upper part of the spectrum.

[@Jrel]

@@willischirwa3992 If you use a plugin like Ozone 9's Imager where you can split the frequencies into sections, you can decrease the width of only the low end, and not change the upper part (keeping the extra width), and the low end won't have phase issues. Plus you can also shorten the width of the upper part by -10 or so to increase its phase while still keeping most of the Haas effect. Switching everything to mono - it still sounds and feels fine.

[@jaymac72]

If you just watch Doms videos your skillset will improve massively.

[@nomorebushz]

I have music I recorded with Commodore 64C with Kawasaki music software. Nice shirt there Dom! I had an external 128k RAM unit that plugged into the back! 1981 I think it was.

Looks like you (Dom) are using the Output plattform desk in Kodiak Brown, right? Do you like it, I'am planning to buying one myself, but are actually unsure if it is worth it...

[@okwyumeh4873]

God bless you for this lecture bro....I just subscribed, thanks a million

[@AtharvaMusic1]

Cubase has this beautiful plugin called “mono to stereo” I prefer that for making Synth bass wide and to make the centre a little empty. It works really well and has got good mono compatibility.

[@AboveEmAllProduction]

Doesn't that just split the mono signal to a stereo signal? Meaning no change in sound since l and r would be identical

[@eric1966tomson]

@@AboveEmAllProduction if L and R are identical, you get a... MONO signal ;)

[@MrMikomi]

@@eric1966tomson that's his point

[@martintubadiey1300]

Great tutorial 👌 thanks bro

[@LFOVCF]

Also, change sides for the main signal, to give some balance. Dom's starts with left to right, so if you use this effect on two instruments, reverse the dials on the second instrument.

[@heyiplaybassguitar]

This is a great tip! Also, it’s important to note that a little bit of “comb filtering” occurs when you use this technique, but in some cases the added width is worth the trade-off! Also using different amounts for each delay (not using 25ms for every instance) 😅. And always always check mix in mono afterwards!

[@dimitristamilias5915]

Very nice Dom,thanks!

[@barrywilliams8289]

Dom how do I adjust (tilt) the low cut filter on the strip channel as you did on this video

[@kannon3979]

[@VAIBHAVSINGHMUSIC]

This is cool! I have two questions. Do this effect and haas effect plugins (like khz haas) have differennce? Does this compromise mono compatibility of the signal?

Great video as always Dom. Appreciate them. Can i ask what the Piano sound is coming from? I love how alive it sounds.

Great video, nice track. Side Note: One of the best kept secret for the ultimate stereo widening plugin for the mix / master bus and with good reason is DR MS by Mathew Lane, nothing like it... ;) :D

[@SukhwinderSingh-fl7pi]

Hi Dom, that's a great trick i used it . but my question is if you do that to say 6 tracks are they still on top of each other behind one another if they are how do i create gaps through like the way we pan across the Rainbow. thanks

[@jasonanthonywebster8859]

Dom I don't know how to email you so I'll ask here brother... On FL studio you can dumpscore things you did on your keyboard prior to pressing record, so if your doodling and go, wow that sounded amazing but you didn't get the same kind of effect when you come to record, On FL you can put everything you did up to an hour I think and it shows every key you have pressed on your midi etc... Is this feature available on Cubase do you know?

[@HarderSoundsChannel]

Hey, what is the analyser plugin called on your screen to your right?

[@rachidbendadande9750]

Hello Dom Please I need Help, I need to Export many different tracks each of these tracks are in different lengths. What I want is To Assign jobs or tasks for cubase, I have Created Marker cycles for each track that I want to export according to its length. but I cannot find a way to let cubase export all the tracks for me automatically. this is a Voice Over Project not Music. Please I need help to save me some time.

[@al_vanderbeek]

I don't believe Cubase can automatically export a batch of tracks at different start and end points 🤔 - If you find out how please let us all know 😄

[@rachidbendadande9750]

I have found a way but unfortunately it's not exporting the tracks, you'd have to put all the recordings in one track and create cycle markers for each part that you want to export and then name those markers as you would for the tracks. Then in the export settings you'd go for cycle markers and select all of them and they will all be exported automatically, with their names but you'd have to go to the naming settings and chose marker id. this is what Greg ondo proposed for me. Even though i wanted the tracks to be exported but i believe there is no possible way,

I like using the TR EQ for making tracks sound more wide by dropping the mid range just a little then adding some very subtle reverb with delay effect in the side chain. Its easy to do and gets the job done, but this works just as well if you are a Cubase user that is nice tutorial mate cheers
