hey.

The audio sample you use for this tutorial is in mono (only one waveform where normally there is two), how did you do it? coz anytime i drag an audio file into ableton there are 2 channels.

What is the software you are using? Is that available for free downloads? If so, please provide me the link.

@gspgsp2010 The software used is Ableton Live 8 Suite, and no it most definately is not free. Awesome software costs money :)

Old school stereo field trick :) I remember doing the same thing in FastTracker II 10 years ago to make mono samples stereo (before the advent of effects and VSTs). Another nice trick for short samples (hi-hats, stabs, short vocal grabs) is to increase/decrease the sample pitch or speed ever so slightly. Do this a number of times over several samples and it's a nice effect. Plugins do this these days though but helps to know the basics.

@jestermgee I have Question , will i have Phasing problem by Duplicating track ?

[jestermgee]

@kharlos84 Depends... If you use the offset example shown and have your samples panned you won't have any phase issues as you are simply playing one sound just fractions later than the other and the wave is out different channels. Using the different speeds trick, yes, you will get a phase effect and and the samples will start getting out of time which is why you can only use short samples. Experimentation is the key. Even if nothing comes of a session, you may still learn a new trick.

THanks a lot for this.

I'd learned about the haas technique at college, but could see how to do it Live 8.

Now my mix sounds miles wide :)
