You can never learn too much about mixing. It can really make or break a track. Sometimes the music is so good it doesn't matter ala: Red Hot Chili Peppers Californication. I'd love to get my hands on those master tapes. ;) Usually though, it makes a tremendous difference and deserves as much attention as Audio Tuts can give it. Thanks man! Nice article.

What i meant was that the effect that is created by double tracking (the stereo image that is created) is in some ways similar to what the sample delay plugin creates. Or am I wrong??

Even though two takes give you may be a little more variation in what left and right re playing!

Exactly what I needed with my morning coffee. I like the Eq stereo enhancing, as it is super subtle but noticeable if you A/B it. I like double tracking a guitar take, panning them hard L/R and then eq'ing them giving them better definition. Although double tracking and panning is not really taking a mono sound and making it stereo, this technique I feel gives it even more punch, especially if you eq them to make them sound really different. I also like double-tracking vocals, panning them a little L and R and then adding a subtle A.D.T. delay to the center. It's not exactly boosting the stereo image, but it makes the vocal much thicker and broader. cheers, Cool post. Exactly what I needed with my morning coffee.
