I think what wouldve been a helpful takeaway here for many people is that mono: both channels playing exactly the same signal stereo: both channels playing a different signal By delaying the left channel slightly it plays a slightly different signal compared to the right one, and this creates the illusion of width. However, you dont necessarily need a delay to make things sound wider (as is kind of implied here) - virtually any L/R processing (subtle distortion, EQ, etcetera) will generate differences between the L and R channel creating width. Whats more, I find that using delays to widen sounds actually has drawbacks; e.g. if you collapse a sound treated with the Haass effect to mono you''ll reveal the effect's chorus-y nature and while that can be interesting, it doesnt sound terribly transparent. What I've started doing recently is using an EQ to make sounds wider. You take an EQ8, put it on LR mode and then cut out small notches at a range of different frequencies on the L channel. Then copy these notches to the R channel (right mouse button on EQ8 for this option) and ever so slightly move all of them to the right or left of their original positions. The idea is that frequency-wise both L and R are slightly different, but not to a point where it becomes noticeable. In addition, because both channels are EQed to the same extent as far as +- in volume goes, you don't get a result that's skewed to the right or the left (cutting out notches by definition makes things less loud, so if you would only cut out notchs on the L channel but not the right, you would get a somewhat stereo result but it would also be skewed/ "panned" to the right) but rather a result that is stereo but also in the center of your mix panning-wise.
You Suck at Producing maybe you can talk about it in a future video e.g. when doubling synths you can use different EQ and reverb settings on both L and R to not only make things sound wider but also much more complex and interesting. apart from that it was still a nice video :)
For sure, 100%, without a doubt, Underbelly is the best music production teacher on TH-cam. So glad I found your channel dude. Thx for the help and entertainment. Keep at it Pls
bro I don't know what to say. your first little delay tip just saved my life man.. thanks a ton. hitting that little like button is not enough at all.. what all I can say is a big thank you for making up these great videos :) keep up the great work
only thing i would mention is that if you create the stereo image with delay, the side you hear first will always appear louder, because the brain hears it first it will hear it as dominant, something to keep in mind with the mix
What I like to do is get two sounds that are very similar and play then together panned left and right. Creates a nice width while also adding some very nice texture.
1. Layer 2. Pan one more left and pan one more right 3. Add effects how you please. It'll give a much more full effect than any of his options, they aren't balanced enough.
Roger was clipping all the way through due to his resonant low middle THICCness. Joking aside, that's why I fricking hate PIANOS and RHODES, and working with them to be more specific. You may have them all EQed and compressed like a pro, but all of a sudden it just POPS UP with the most disgusting fart of a sound imaginable, and it leaves you wondering what the heck could I have done wrong. At the same time you can't just avoid using these luscious instruments, just listen to how melodic they sound. Damn I got carried away, PEACE OUT, love your videos. (ツ)
Denis Borisov Yeah, just have to limit the scale or avoid that one note with a sectional silence so the brain fills in a fantasized version of what that tone should have been. P.S. tone and note have the same letters 😮
my mind is confused, on one side I hear this guy's super valuable lessons, on the other side, I feel how massively sarcastic he constantly sounds, but 10ms delayed on the right so my mind perceives it as one and its all very confusing
Honestly bro, you pack so much knowledge into such a short time span it's pretty nuts... how did you learn all this? I mean of course you studied and experimented and dug deep but did you have any mentors or teachers?
I wish my parents gave me the same relationship advice as you. I feel like I started off as a Freshman in 'Talking to Girls' and graduated with a Masters in 'Makin' dat Love Money'. *throws hat*
Second question: StudioOneArtist does not support the outside VTS plugings, is there any pluggin in StudioOne Artist that can give an effect of Ozone Imager2 (widening the sound, phase)? First question: StudioOne Artist, the volume of an acoustic guitar recording through microphone is very low (compared to previously recorded tracks of acoustic guitars with pickups), the knob on interface is at the maximum, tracks out level -12db, the amplitude of the signal wave is low to normal, still the sound is hardly hearable even when i pop up the buss' level to +4db. Why? What can i do?
To be honest, if you treat a Roger with the haas effect (The short name for the delay trick in this video) and try to squish him back into mono, he’s not gonna have the best time. So the haas effect it’s really not the ideal way to create stereo width, it does kind of screw with mono compatibility. However, it seems that doing subtle effects on one of the channels, like a subtle distortion or EQ, can achieve similar with with less phase issues.
'Hi, I'm underbelly and today were going to clone, cut in half, and then genetically modify children before proceeding to pan and flange them on their play ground.'
Nothing gets me through the day better than a good "WOWZERS".
you're welcome will
I love myself a thicc and strong woman
SadowickProduction dude you dont need those tutorials haha
Drachen Meddl Everybody needs these tutorials. I bet 6ix, Dre, Juliano, Metro, Luger, etc watch these in secret.
How cool! My favorite tutorial-makers watch each others videos!
my two Gods
thank you for watching my brother

great advice here. Width can be achieved in a number of ways - not just a delay.

F'n genius! You hecking named the intruments names that include the first letter in the instrument.
this is correct, thank you for noticing
you're so strange and so wise Underbelly. i'm so grateful for your wisdom
For sure, 100%, without a doubt, Underbelly is the best music production teacher on TH-cam. So glad I found your channel dude. Thx for the help and entertainment. Keep at it
Pls
thanks for watching lynx
you are literally the first one i am not mad at for asking to subscribe in the end. u do it with style. keepem coming
thanks man, wasn't sure if i could pull it off
The most entertaining and educational channel on youtube.
ay thanks dawg
woah i like that lfo synced to the time in the delay trick, like making a phaser from scratch
thats the idea yes
bro I don't know what to say. your first little delay tip just saved my life man.. thanks a ton. hitting that little like button is not enough at all.. what all I can say is a big thank you for making up these great videos :) keep up the great work
Your analogies are the best
Whoa. Shees. This tutorial was flames
your vibe in the intro had me smiling huge. its funny cause I DO suck at producing.
This channel is a gem
wow man it's been years since I dyon't watch your videos. I completely forgot about wowzers. I'm so happy right now
Man, not only you learn so much, you actually want to learn more, each episode is a hilarious story with dark humor
I love you so much dude
Cant thank you enough Underbelly, youre an amazing being
thanks for watching my man
only thing i would mention is that if you create the stereo image with delay, the side you hear first will always appear louder, because the brain hears it first it will hear it as dominant, something to keep in mind with the mix
Infinite wisdom ✊️
Nicolas Díaz Damn i thought i was first
This Channel os absolute Gold.
Love your channel bro. You've taught me so much with only a few videos. Thank you
Just wanted to say your deadpan is world-class. Bret and Jemaine would be proud!
those guys are the best
Thanks again Underbelly, this is exactly what my track needed
you're welcome cereal
This new thumbnails are the bomb. Sadly the content is still awesome.
i apologize
your videos are getting better and better!
Most entertaining tutorials out here
What I like to do is get two sounds that are very similar and play then together panned left and right. Creates a nice width while also adding some very nice texture.
I have needed this video for so long!!
To achieve the nicest sounds, I like to mono my master channel
sounds a bit too skinny for my tastes
You mean for reference right?
1. Layer
2. Pan one more left and pan one more right
3. Add effects how you please.
It'll give a much more full effect than any of his options, they aren't balanced enough.
not a bad tip, any effects that allow for subtle differentiation all contribute to feelings of width
Wowzers, thanks for this!
thank you laxe
You look like you're being held hostage and told to do something you'd do anyways but like not while they stare uwuwu
Sounds like it too
I love your videos and teeth
hey thanks calmo
mate, ur the best tutorial channel atm, honestly, and I watch a lot of them
Great and simple and to the point thanks man, I’m now just a little better at producing
You’re phenomenal

P.S. tone and note have the same letters 😮
yes, choose your chode notes wisely
Hmm, I've never thought of that. I tend to sort of overlook multiband compression as an unknown beast. Thanks, will try it out!
Just started your Videos. Love em. Gonna comment and like everyone so you get more interactions. Keep it up.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
thanks for watching kate
I love you.
if you don't want to duplicate the track, you can put in the filter delay. making one channel's delay time longer will make the track wider
my mind is confused, on one side I hear this guy's super valuable lessons, on the other side, I feel how massively sarcastic he constantly sounds, but 10ms delayed on the right so my mind perceives it as one and its all very confusing
Thank u for informations i gotcha and ur diction is awesome im impressed such a nice video
I knew you are a robot! You never blinked, not a single time!
Phenomenal.
thank you jim
Really cool. I like the way you explain it.
Honestly bro, you pack so much knowledge into such a short time span it's pretty nuts... how did you learn all this? I mean of course you studied and experimented and dug deep but did you have any mentors or teachers?
When you become professional and you have to tell people from where you learned to produce... You show this, wowzers will be the reaction
wowzers is right
Awesome trick! Thanks for the choad tip.
your videos are very helpful even though i dont use ableton
thanks eochi
thank u father for I have learned
Thank You!
Stereo Width has always been a tricky bastard for me, I don't know why. Looks like I really do suck at producing!
yeah, hard to achieve without phasing issues
ok so check it. thanks to you I don't suck anymore. trousers (or isn't it?) from Turkey.
Thought you might have made fart sounds have more stereo width at this point. Lmao great video, I keep learning more everyday.
damn should've thought of that
fucking love your shit
thanks dawg
3:31 freeze the frame: Instruments: Wavetable. ABLETON 10 CONFIRMED.
lmaooo when it zooms in on your face at the beginning and end it looks like you're trying pretty hard not to bust up laughing at your own persona
im completely serious
Roger likes to step outside of his boundaries. (it's clipping)
that shit song is still super smooth ✌️
ay thanks dawg
great vid
OOOOKAY So Check it
WOWZERS YES
o h ye s s
“OH MY GOSH”
ableton 10 looking fresh
nachobarro as apple juice?

I wanna see all the outtakes of you cracking up delivering some of these lines.
Haha, got good laughs and learned something. Time to make the kids wobble.
thanks for watching janne
I love the way you teach. You are amazing!
Damn, bro! You're amazing))))
I wish my parents gave me the same relationship advice as you.
I feel like I started off as a Freshman in 'Talking to Girls' and graduated with a Masters in 'Makin' dat Love Money'.
*throws hat*
you're welcome exon
Greet video thank you 🤘
CRAZY N PHASEY BABY

Thank you,,,, 🌶
thanks for watching luke

A couple of days ago I was thinking that it would be great to have some real time modulations. Didn't know about m4l. Fuck it.
wowzers.
oh yes

Awesome
Rogers like a big fucking choad here lmao
you are keeping me sane thank you for teaching me how to produce shit music
*WIDEE*
wowsers
These tutorials are strangely useful...
weird right
been producing for 10 years and just now found this channel im pissed
WOWHZZERS
Great vid man... can you tell that how it affects the child in a mono field?
no difference in mono. polio on the other hand...
To be honest, if you treat a Roger with the haas effect (The short name for the delay trick in this video) and try to squish him back into mono, he’s not gonna have the best time.

Its true i suck i cry
'Hi, I'm underbelly and today were going to clone, cut in half, and then genetically modify children before proceeding to pan and flange them on their play ground.'
fuck i want these maxforlive LFO that you can just put on everything...
Are there any similar plugins I could use instead?
i need a "You suck at life" youtube channel
What we used to do with guitars 🤗
useful
im glad you think so francesco
lmao did he just say chode??
that is correct
Peace out
