By Craig AndertonIf an instrument track is recorded in mono
Definition:
Short for Monophonic. An audio program, recording, or hardware device/software routine that produces or processes a signal with only one channel., your mix may benefit from adding some stereoDefinition:
A two channel signal simulating a sound space, typically played through two speakers. “magic.” Industry expert Craig Anderton shows you how to add mild stereo motion to mono sounds without delayDefinition:
A device that outputs and input signal some time later. This can be short for echo effects, longer for matching speaker stacks, or aligning sound and video. or phaseDefinition:
Sound waves are variations in air pressure that, like water waves, have peaks and troughs. Phase is the waveform's position in its current cycle. For example, if two versions of the same waveform are both at their peak, or at their trough, they're considered in phase. If one is at its peak and one is at its trough, they are considered out of phase. If one is at its peak and the other is at zero (between the peak and trough), then the two waveforms are 90 degrees out of phase. See also: Polarity changes. You’ll learn how to use Pro Tools on a sample guitar track without sacrificing dynamicsDefinition:
In a musical performance, changes in overall volume levels, often accompanied by timbral changes. Example: Classical symphonic music has a wide dynamic range, while dance mixes have a much narrower dynamic range. or a natural feel.
