if you're doing hip hop, here are some ways:
Take to samples that sound similar or that you might already be layering.
split them out to 2 separate tracks and pan them out a bit. If you're only
using 1 sample, take a copy of the track, change the pitch on it a bit and
again play with the panning. Spread the channels out as far as you'd like to
split the sound. The same can be applied to kicks, it all depends on what
kick type you're using. For a bass kick like a tooned 808 or 909, you could
do some of it, for other more thump kicks or dry kicks that serve as gound
for the beat, it might not be a good idea.
Another way of widening the stereo image for any instrument that is mono or
too centered, pan it out to 1 side, then get a delay effect and insert it,
send the delay back on the opposite side and set a small amount of delay.
play with the setting till you get the amount of widening you want. Hard to
explain in writing, this is 1 of those things that works better as a walk
through.
These are some of the techniques i can think of from the top of my head,
there's more though.
HTH, D!J!X!

Subject: [ddots-l] drums a wider sound
Hello,
I've gotten the art of making my drums sound decent as far as punchiness,
bass, loudness, etc. What i'm wondering, though, is what's a good way to
make them sound wider? I know drums aren't usually recorded completely
stereo, but i'm listening to radio recordings and the drums sound wider than
they do in my recordings. any plugins or techniques you folks could
recommend?
Thanks for all input!
