Frequency-optimized Mono/Stereo Upmixing for vocals, guitars, loops, synths, FX & more

How many times did you have to mix a well-recorded signal which just won´t fit in the mix... because it´s mono. With modern mixes becoming tighter and tighter (but wider and wider as well) adding reverb or FX like chorus won´t quite help now as you don´t want to loose the tight center of a lead vocal, acoustic & electric guitar or a screaming synth sound. Still you need to spread these sounds to lay them into the mix perfectly...

 

I got this in my email today too. I wonder if it'll do combing like PSP Psueudostereo or Nugen Stereoizer (which I have & use)

 

"How many times did you have to mix a well-recorded signal which just won´t fit in the mix... because it´s mono."

Huh?
Never heard of such.

As far as I know, many top engineers record everything in mono, even stereo sources like keyboards, because they are easier to handle in the mix.

 

Hm, sometimes I come across mono tracks would fit nicer if they were stereo.

 

Could you give an example?

 

Mono string sections, mono backup vocals, and sometimes full mono mixes.
