Stereo tricks for strings/pianos/synths If you have a stereo track of strings, convert to dual mono. - Shift the left track early by 7ms - Shift the right track late by 7ms

Keyboards: To make space in the middle, pan your stereo keyboards to one side and pan their effects to the other.

Stereo on a reverb return is usually not stereo Try this: put 2 plugins with the same reverb preset, pan one plugin in hard left, and the other hard right, with both plugins having slight parameter changes

If you are doing a ballad and the vocals are in a really low range, try running the send to the reverb through a harmonizer and put that up an octave, so what you are sending to the reverb unit is an octave higher than the original sound source. When you mix that back in with the vocal it is a really cool effect and makes the vocal sound more exciting

Take two chorus units: With the first chorus unit pan one side left, and the other at about 1-2 o’clock. Take the second chorus unit and change the depth and the rate to where they are slightly different, and then pan that unit hard right, and about 10 o’clock. Delay the hard panned edges about 10-14ms
