![]() Some important things to know about Phase Cancellation: When it comes to widening your master, using subtle but effective phase cancellation, and/or alleviating a signal of phase cancellation can make a big difference. ![]() With that in mind, understanding phase and how it can be used to your advantage is an invaluable skill for any audio engineer, regardless if it’s tracking, mixing, mastering, editing, sound design or any other possible field of audio. Almost every plugin you use, and every piece of hardware operates by altering the phase relationships of the signal is one way or another. Phase relations, or the physics of sound waves and how they interact with one another, make up pretty much the entirety of audio production. Use Advanced Phase Relations to Accentuate Side-Image Instrumentation It demonstrates 1 technique for making your parallel compressed signal sound full and complex. Get the Most Out of Your Parallel Compression The act of heavily compressing and then amplifying a signal will result in low-level temporal processing being made perceivable. How to Implement Parallel Compression to Accentuate Stereo ProcessingĪlthough parallel compression may not typically be thought of as a way to widen your master, it does result in some beneficial effects for that purpose. By widening them with a multi-band stereo imager you’re both reducing their impact and increasing the gain of your side-image, in turn widening it. The same holds true for any high-hats or cymbals that seem harsh. Granted this won’t entirely negate excessive sibilance, but it can help to reduce its impact. Widening frequencies above 2.5kHz can be very beneficial to a master – both in creating a more impressive stereo image and in making higher frequencies less abrasive to the listener.įor example, if you were to widen the frequencies of 5kHz to 9kHz, you would lessen the effect of sibilance but dispersing the signal to the side image. 2.5kHz – 20kHz: Widen sparingly to moderately.1.5kHz – 2.5kHz: Either keep the same or narrow slightly to retain the vocal’s energy in the Mid Channel.400Hz – 1.5kHz: Can be widened sparingly to create a more impressive mid-range. ![]()
