Respect donny G

Erm.. So i'm assuming I put the sound I want to split into the second spider? or the first?

[ehbes]

No put it after the vocoder

Into the last Line Mixer?

Heres a tutorial where u can see how the connections should be.

dimension expander

[skimpi]

Make 2 or 3 copies of the synth/bass and pan one slightly to left, one slightly to right and 1 in the middle.

lol, that will just make it louder, not bigger. If each copy is effected differently though so that its got a different sound, or they are delayed very slightly, then it will appear bigger as there is different stuff happening over the stereo field, making it seem bigger and wider. By just copying them and panning them, the same stuff will be happening in both speakers, so it wont be bigger or wider, it will just be louder in volume.

[MaZa1]

Well, if u pan and adjust the volume for example, it wont be louder but wider and maybe a bit "stronger", and like you said, different fx to each one of them will help.

[ill mindset]

When splitting freqs, keep the bass in mono with a little compression. Add chorus , flange, phase, distortion, etc to the mids and highs for movement, harmonics & "size". Freeze flatten and repeat as many times as necessary.

one that i'd like to add:

using compression at the very end of your chain (regardless of if you've used it before). ok, so the average channel strip starts with eq, followed by compression, then usually something like a reverb or delay at the end. adding a second compressor at the very end of the track can really help to emphasise the reverb, or make sure that tape delay doesn't fade away into the mix too soon.

nice tip, I'll try that out

Compressor on the master, sub channels and individual tracks. Triple Compressed.

More than half of the effects used to do this are based on delays.
Just takes some tweaking to get the right delay time, try it in ms too.

Are delays on Synths really that important they always seem to mess up my sounds, I guess I need more practice with em

are you using it as a send or an insert?

Yeah I usually just insert one and It makes my sound into a mess or I turn it down so much it barely does anything

[ehbes]

delays really only work as a send effect

[skimpi]

Well, not really, if it has a mix function then it can be used just as well on an insert, I usually use them as inserts as I normally want different delays on different things. Obviously if i want things to share a delay then ill bus it.

Delays dont need to be in your face to be effective, usually if you can really tell what the delay is doing within the mix, then its too much.
