Cubase Tutorial – Tech Tip 8 – Create Stereo Width in Cubase 5 (Vocals, Lead Sounds etc.)

www.sonicacademy.com In this video we take a look at taking a single mono vocal sample and using a couple tricks, we widen it out to make it sound like it is playing in full stereo. This sort of effect is great for adding body to your vocals or even moving a lead line so that it is not sitting directly in the middle of your tune!

    @moyotte this isnt double tracking. This is basically just copying and pasting.

    Double tracking is where you record your instrument twice. (4 times if you are gonna pan them.) When you record things twice there will always be something different, however minute, to make the sound different. This is what gives a double tracked recording it thickness. All that happens when you duplicate a sample like this is an increase in volume.

    This is so pointless. Just add the chorus effect instead of pitch shifting, it does the exact same thing.

    @bobrobertsz Not true.

  7. bobrobertsz on January 26th, 2010 1:00 am

    @Killedmykitten Well, i think it is.That’s how the chorus effect works. It splits the audio signal in two and pitch shifts one of them.

  8. Killedmykitten on January 26th, 2010 1:11 am

    @bobrobertsz True, But chorus is a modulation based effect, meaning the pitch and time is constantly varied in small amounts. Where as with this approach you get a more controlled/ predictable outcome.

  9. bobrobertsz on January 26th, 2010 11:53 am

    @Killedmykitten There are chorus effects that work that way, but the cubase chorus doesn’t. It’s easily perceivable in that the oscillatory effect produced by the two slightly out of tune signals move at an even pace. If there were variations in the pitch the oscillations would be uneven.

    Very helpful, the second way is faster but the first way seems to give more width and it sounds better.

    I love you videos. I am getting to try all kinds of things I wouldn’t have thought of. Thank You.

  19. eldadrummer on March 28th, 2010 6:22 pm

    then you are most likely pitch shifting it by whole semitones rather than just fine tuning the pitch

  20. boeing6666 on April 2nd, 2010 12:49 pm
