Stereo Flipping When Sampling From AKT Aktion

What people it is AK to the T here to hit you up with some dope production tips so let’s get straight to it.

Stereo Flipping When Sampling Older Tracks

If you listen to a lot of records or songs from the past on a stereo speaker set up you will notice that in some cases they will some very drastic panning.  For example a lot of  “Doors” tracks have the vocals panned hard one way and  the instrumentation panned the other.  Well in almost all DAW or audio processing and recording software programs you can Stereo Flip the left signal to both sides eliminating the right, or the opposite way and making full stereo track out of one side (left or right) of the audio file.  I use Cubase to do  this myself, but any of the top DAWs will have this ability.  You will normally just need to select the chunk of audio you wish to do this to the select “audio processing” were it is located in you recording software  This can totally change a sample library from the 60s and 70s.  I normally pan my samples hard left then hard right to see what the possibilities are if you need an example to start with use The Doors  “People Are Strange” , The vocals are all on the Right and the instrumentation is all on the left ,,You can also flip a stereo track into two mono tracks. I love doing this highly recommended…

Have Fun Mayne!!!!
