Mono Guitar + Sonitus fx:phase


Recommended Posts

While looking for ways to make a mono guitar track sound more wide without double tracking and hard Panning LR
I discovered "Sonitus fx:phase". Even though the help manual says to only use a Stereo track,
I think using it on a mono Track (mono interleave), sounds good, but I don't know what kind of mixing issues this might cause.
to me, Mono or Stereo interleave sounds exactly the same and the guitar does sound more wide.

1) What are some mixing  issues this might cause?
2) What are some techniques to make a single guitar track sound more stereo or wide?

in solo & mono, you might find it "thinner", but in a full mix where you've already done the HP filtering, you're less likely to notice. and if you listen with a single mono speaker with the track in stereo, you'll be able to assess if there is an issue. 

other tricks include the Waves or Boz widener plugins, and of course using the Haas effect with a slight delay and judicious panning - as with the phase plugin, check in mono with the stereo feed to determine any ill effect.
