Usually hear comb filtering discussed as something to listen for and remove or avoid...🤔...You just keep reminding us there are no hard and fast rules in music and it's about application. Great stuff, thanks!

Me, the opposite. Comb filtering has been popularly used for stereo widening since the beginning of professional recording. I only learned of the negative affects of NON-INTENTED comb filtering today in another video.

You, Sir, are a gem to the community, no bs just useful knowledge and facts

Oh awesome! I haven't seen this technique before! A slightly out there technique I tried recently was decoding from stereo to MS, then using two different saturators on the mid and side before going back to stereo. It was for some over the top sound design impact thing where I wanted the middle to be crunchy and gritty while keeping the sides from getting destroyed. You can of course go wild with lots of other effects :D

Thanks for sharing this gem. I have heard this technique all over R&B and Hip Hop records from the 90s thru early 2000s.....Great new format!

Great vid Matthew, the Waves S1 is also a good and easy way for placing elements around a center element!

I think the stereoize option in ozone imager 2 do soemthing similar and sounds the same in mono too.

I'm wondering how you pick the frequency to set as the starting point? Clearly it depends on the distribution within the sound you are working on. Do you aim for a mid point or somewhere else? I guess trial and error but with an ear to if the sound has more energy high or low.

Would be nice to know

i think it can be started from anywhere within frequency spectrum but according to me below 200 hz we should not touch just to live bass Un-spread.

Great vid as usual, but left me with some questions. You explained what comb filtering is for the people who don’t know anything about it, and you showed the settings you chose for the people who already know how it works and just maybe haven’t seen it used for this specific approach to widening, but didn’t explain how you got to those settings or how to execute this technique in our own mixes for intermediate people who understand what comb filtering is in theory but not how to apply it practically, especially with a plug-in like he khs Comb. What are you listening for when you set up the comb filtering freq? What settings tend to work best for what inst? What does the plus/minus switch do? How do you know or control which frequencies are being pushed L Vs R? What do we need to know about how comb filtered tracks interact to get the the best width, phase relationship, and prevent the comb filtered tracks from creating their own comb filtering from adding them together and reducing the impact of the whole mix? Great vid but we intermediate folks maybe got left out a little. After watching, I’m thinking to myself “cool idea, but I do not feel prepared to just throw it on some tracks a mix and just start choosing settings more or less at random and be confident I’m not causing more harm than good. Maybe a follow up on this would be nice one day?

For example, you showed and told us that you have 270hz as the bass frequency, why 270? Should bass always be in the lower range? Is it safe to ever go down as low as like 40hz or as high as 15k? How do you choose where the cuts/boost are centered? Can I avoid it putting a notch on my instruments fundamental somehow? Is there a slider for that or is it just by choosing the frequency of notches and you find a value that happens to leave the fundamental alone? Left with more questions than answers and not enough technical know how to feel like I could experiment and know that my results were repeatable and true

So could the same effect be had with using something like Melda MSED and having a feedforward comb filter on one side and a feedbackward comb filter as an inverse on the other side?

Somewhere I heard a tip saying that you should try using comb filters to tune your reverb to the key of the song. Does this make any sense? Regardless, how would you "properly" tune a comb filter? Also... surprised you didn't mention setting two different channels / elements to the same comb filter frequency while using opposite plus/minus polarity.
