this has been around a long time.

i thought it'd be nice to review.


if you are new to this, well then, WELCOME.

Good read, thanks!

Very interesting.... and unexpected. Thanks for (re)posting this. Any idea if this carries through to headphones (or earbuds)? Recommended plug-ins?

 Added to my browser favorites for a later read. Thanks!

Great read, he promised more; where's the link?

Great conclusive read on the importance of LCR panning,

... not only for Haas effects, but

... to give enough tunnel room for the vox, kick, and bass

... as sweet-spot listening works best only in studio and cans.

(The author is judicious to not go too overboard on LCR panning)

My gut reaction  is no, it can't translate to working on phones, simply because when you're wearing cans, the only thing to reach your left ear is what comes out of the left phone speaker - ditto for the right. You don't have any delayed reflections from the other channel hitting the opposite ear.

But I might be wrong.

I'm quite often wrong.

Ditto. Interesting read.

I remember reading once about an interesting stereo widening technique using Haas. It is NOT the simple pan left and right and put a slight delay on one track. It's more elaborate than that. I think it used two extra clones (so 3 copies all up) and one was inverted (I think) and then small delays included here and there. I remember trying it out and it sounded really good, and sounded (from memory) fine in mono - ie the comb filtering was not really noticeable. It wasn't M/S. It was a Haas thing. Does this sound familiar to anyone??? Or was I dreaming?

I might have even read it on moutlonlabs.com (the above link)
