examine the many tricks that can be utilized to make this happen.
One of the tricks I have been hearing on many records lately is to make the chorus wider. You can do this one of two ways, by making your panning in the verses a little narrow, perhaps the pans on the widest elements are at 4 and 8 o’clock on your pans. When the chorus kicks in the pans go fully wide. The other technique is to put a stereo enhancer on in the chorus and make the chorus extra wide. Synth pads can be great to use these stereo enhancing effects on.
