The No.1 Trick To Make Everything Sound Wide | Cubase Secrets with Dom

- Steinberg Cubase 11 makes it very easy for you to create a very wide sound. This Cubase tutorial walks you through creating wideness in your music production, placing the vocals in the center and adding depth in sound to the music around them. By effectively spreading the signal, using the stereo delay with a 25 milliseconds delay panned all to the right and the original signal all to the left, the brain is fooled into thinking it’s a very wide sound. Spreading a mono signal is achieved by sending it to a stereo group channel. By applying this type of sound design in the mix to your DAW music workflow, you can make your songs sound much more professional.

Dom Sigalas has become my favorite Cubase TH-camr. I have learnt so many useful techniques from his videos and this is one of them. I knew about the Haas effect and I have used the short delay of one side of the stereo spectrum for a long time. Admittedly less and less. We have stereo widening in the master bus, why bother, right? Wrong. It is so much more powerful to use this for selected tracks and the effect is more dramatic than stereo widening tools ever will be. They are not bad on the bus but the Haas effect is something very different. But complicated to achieve. Till now. I used to export a mono track into stereo. Then split the stereo track. Then delay them to each other. Sometimes I got timing issues, when the parts did not start on beat 1 in the bar. And if something is overcomplicated we tend to dislike it. And slowly stop using it. Like me.
But this technique with the stereo delay stock plugin is so easy to use that it became a standard for every project within a few days. First a made a mistake leaving the left channel open and wondered about the 1/1 delay. lol. But I replayed this tutorial and turned down the left cannel in the stereo delay and it works just phantastic. The best effect is it makes the whole track so wide that widening plugins are not really making a significant difference any more. Unlike before. When the mix was quite narrow without widening. Thanks a lot, Dom.
This is new to me. Pure gold. Preset already created and named after you😂. Thank you sir!
One simple trick to make it easier to dial in a good amount: Keep your track in mono either by a monitor switch, or a plugin on the masterbus to make it mono. Dial in the delay to where it still sounds acceptable(Stay under 40msec.) and then switch back to stereo.This way you can find a sweet spot where it's wider in stereo, and not too canceled in mono.
3:17 Did you just flip us the bird?? That's not nice 😜
I’ve been doing this by duplicating tracks and using the delay slider. Your method is easier!
This is great information! I was doing the same thing by creating duplicate tracks and offsetting the time, this is so much simpler and more efficient.
Gotta be careful with Hass effect on bass material when collapsing to Mono
Yeah. Just tried this. That said when you introduce back a bit of wet/dry on each channel respectively.
For instance, Instead of 100% dry on left channel you put it to 80% dry and on the right channel 100% goes 80% wet similarly.
Did help for me.
The best is to set the locut within the stereo delay way up to 250 to 400 or even 600 Hz
Yep. Might also still need to mono the low end even on the widened bass material because it will make any low and sub frequency content in the mix weaker than it was, or on the entire mix; whichever brings the low end back or keeps its original strength.
@@Jrel I would not do that. Why? Because the widened material is not in phase any more. If you mono it you will definitely get phase cancellations in the low sector that you do not want to have. It is better to only widen the upper part of the spectrum.
@@willischirwa3992 If you use a plugin like Ozone 9's Imager where you can split the frequencies into sections, you can decrease the width of only the low end, and not change the upper part (keeping the extra width), and the low end won't have phase issues. Plus you can also shorten the width of the upper part by -10 or so to increase its phase while still keeping most of the Haas effect. Switching everything to mono - it still sounds and feels fine.
Damn!! That electric guitar gave me goosebumps....Nice man!!
That Haas made my day... ... Seriously though, fantastic tip Dom, can't wait to load up Cubase and give it a go! 😁 👍🏻
Brilliantly simple 👍
Thanks a lot Dom this was a real break through for my mixes very very valuable ❤❤❤
Great trick
Thank you Dom
Cubase has this beautiful plugin called “mono to stereo” I prefer that for making Synth bass wide and to make the centre a little empty. It works really well and has got good mono compatibility.
Doesn't that just split the mono signal to a stereo signal? Meaning no change in sound since l and r would be identical
@@AboveEmAllProduction if L and R are identical, you get a... MONO signal ;)
@@eric1966tomson that's his point
NICE TIP!!!! BRAVO DOM!!! ΚΑΛΗ ΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΗ!!
You are my Mentor right now
If you just watch Doms videos your skillset will improve massively.
I am your big fan Dom sir...loads of respect from india..
I was looking for this for few days..my prayers been answered
I loved the Fruity Stereo Shaper from Image-Line. When you understand what it does, it is powerful.
I had not found something as clear and powerful on Cubase.
Thanks. Did add the Dom Sigalas Wideness Preset to my Stereo Delay.
Very helpful. Just applied it on my current project.
Agreed. I didn''t like the Fruity Loops worked, Cubase simpler and more intuitive in my opinion. But I miss that Fruity Stereo Shaper plugin.
Thanks a lot Dom! :-) For me, for example, the way to create a Stereo Audio track and just transfer a Mono Audio Event to that Stereo track works very well. Then, I load the Plugin MONO TO STEREO into the Insert and specify the delay, stereo image width and color on it. If I want the impression of an even wider stereo image, I use some EQ that has the possibility to equalize the L and R channels separately and equalize them so that the equalization of the left channel is slightly different from the equalization of the right channel. For my needs, this method works very well for me...Hass's effect is a great trick, but it makes the left channel louder than the right, and that is often not the best option for me in the mix. Best regards!!
I like Cubase😎
wow - lightbulb moment. thanks Dom
Amazing trick.
I always duplicate mono tracks, pan them hard to the left and right and delayed one channel in the inspector until I reached the desired effect.
I think this tip is much faster and easier. Thanks Dom!
Also, change sides for the main signal, to give some balance. Dom's starts with left to right, so if you use this effect on two instruments, reverse the dials on the second instrument.
This is a great tip! Also, it’s important to note that a little bit of “comb filtering” occurs when you use this technique, but in some cases the added width is worth the trade-off!
Also using different amounts for each delay (not using 25ms for every instance) 😅. And always always check mix in mono afterwards!
Bro, what a trick. Something easy to use, very powerful. Thanks man!!
Excellent and simple...
Dom you r super brilliant. ❤
I watch your every vdo.try learn. So thank yoy..
Im from Bangladesh
Always a useful technique that one! Thanks Dom, great video as always

Fantastic tip Don, this really does it for me! HAAS effect, YES! Thank you.
Man you make me crazy with these insane tutorials! I mean am dancing on the floor 😅thanks so much!
Hey Dom, I'm getting addicted to these videos now :-)
nice tutorial
Excellent thank you!
love the Commodore 64 shirt!
I have music I recorded with Commodore 64C with Kawasaki music software. Nice shirt there Dom!
I had an external 128k RAM unit that plugged into the back! 1981 I think it was.
I like using the TR EQ for making tracks sound more wide by dropping the mid range just a little then adding some very subtle reverb with delay effect in the side chain.
Its easy to do and gets the job done, but this works just as well if you are a Cubase user that is nice tutorial mate cheers
Thanks for this - although in terms of # of clicks, duplicating the track, adding delay to one and panning left right is way fewer clicks. Then you are also able to treat the differently and remove frequencies that are causing phase issues in the center. Another little thing about the example in this video, elements driving the beat (like claps) actually takes away drive when spreading them out like that IMO.
Doing this on reverb bus on the other hand ads a whole new dimension to shorter reverbs adding amazing space.
You gained a subscriber.... you are the best you saved my mix with this video
Awesome, thank you!
This is great! Thanks!
another game changer for me, Dom !!!
Excellent tip, Dom. Thanks for sharing :)
Great information. Thank you again Dom. Your tutorials are so clearly explained . Wonderful.
Dom you're a magician when it come to music !
Dom Sigalas - The household Cubase name 👊👊👊
That sounds Awesome! Dom uses Cubase like a Boss!
This is going to change my production, mixing life and tracks for the better. Thank you so much! :)
Brilliant video, and so simple ... thank you Dom
This is a Masterclass!!!
Don thanks so much for sharing, thats gold.
Thank you Dom i just apply that to my new track and is sounding amazing
Very nice Dom,thanks!
This is so cool thanks!
It should be noted that in Cubase this only works on stereo tracks. If you have a mono track you have to convert it to stereo first (or send it to a stereo bus) otherwise the stereo delay won't output a stereo signal.
Awsome trick - Thanks 🙏🏻
Really nice, thanks!
One of the best and useful Cubase tricks!! Great tutorial as always!!
Ya.
You my Guru!
Wow 😲
Thank u so much
Sir 🙏
Supernice! Thanks man!!! 😊
This is going into all of my mixes.
really amazing Trick. thaaanks
I have been trying and trying to get that wide sound with various panning techniques, putting that Haas effect on a couple of tracks and everything opened up, I guess I owe you dinner for that one :)
Doubler by Waves is one of the most convenient tools for widening narrow tracks.
Great tutorial 👌 thanks bro
THANKS a lottttt for this lovely trick :):) lots of love from india...can u make video on reverb nd delay technique on vocal specially on beat nd bar timin :) again million time THANKS to u for puting light on this TRICk:)
This channel is so valuable.
Thanks a lot for sharing such contents.
Anything by Dom gets added to my knowledge bible.
Nice information Thank you 🙂
wow just...wow, gonna try this out for sure
This really helped! I struggle with the mixing of the elements still. Also, my vocals sound kind of flat so I am still looking to see how to mix those better.
Compression and Saturation for making them sound more warm and upfront
Great stuff as usual! Didn't know about the group channel trick to turn mono gtr in stereo. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video.. Made a big difference in my recordings 👍👍👍
